Yo, Steam and Collective Shout Are Trying to Ban Our Games — Here’s Why We Gotta Fight Back, Pok Gai Style

In partnership with

Aiya, listen up fam — the gaming world is getting pok gai’d by some big-shot anti-porn activists called Collective Shout, and they’re playing dirty by hitting payment processors like Visa and Mastercard to block adult games on Steam and itch.io. It’s not just about some sketchy content anymore; soon, any game with sexy vibes or LGBTQ+ themes might get the chop, all because the money guys don’t wanna process the cash flow for “controversial” games. This is straight-up financial censorship, bro, and the gamers? We’re not having it.

Here’s the T — Collective Shout started pushing hard against games with sexual violence or “inappropriate” adult content. Steam didn’t listen first, so the activists went behind the scenes and pressured Visa/Mastercard, saying “No more paying for these games.” Boom, thousands of adult titles got banned overnight, leaving devs and gamers pissed, confused, and scrambling. And it ain’t just no-name indie games — this could eventually hit big boys like Cyberpunk or Baldur’s Gate if they keep this slippery slope rolling. What’s next? No kissing in games? No queer characters?

Game designers, marketers, and influencers gotta wake up. This ain’t just about censorship — it’s about who controls the money, who gets to decide what kind of content is allowed, and how platforms might start bending over backwards to please these payment giants and activists. If you’re a creator, this means you might have to self-censor or lose your platform; marketers, you gotta prepare for tighter restrictions on ads and promos. Influencers, your community’s fighting for creative freedom, so your voice matters big time.

Gamers, we’re already fighting back hard. We’re flooding Visa and Mastercard with complaints, signing petitions, and shouting on Reddit and socials. We gotta make noise louder than these corporate suits trying to cancel our culture. The lesson? Don’t let no one take your games or your voice. Support your favorite devs, speak out when censorship threatens your freedom, and stay informed on how these payment policies impact what you play.
