>Gabe Newell shutdown his lawyer when he said that porn games in Steam should be moderated https://www.gamesradar.com/games/gabe-newell-asked-valves-top-lawyer-what-the-f-do-i-pay-you-for-if-thats-your-opinion-in-heated-debate-over-porn-games-on-steam-report-says/
I always knew Gabe was based.This just proves that it really is the shitty payment processors pushing this censorship shit.
>>740039525We need to ban porn so that men need to rely on women for gratification again. A married man contributes 10x more to the economy than a single man
This is why we need to collectively fight the payment processor mafia
>According to one person who recalled the incident, Newell ripped into general counsel Karl Quackenbush when the lawyer advocated for more hands-on moderation on Steam. "What the f--- do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?" Newell reportedly interjected.I don't get it. He pays the lawyer for less moderation? I really dont' get it
>>740039480>bans all adult games in UK and Germany anywayThanks Gaben very cool
adults spending adult money on other adults creations made for adultswhy do they treat men like women? as if we don't know what we want
Gabe is the fat, smelly Atlas holding the sky.
>>740039726He pays him so that they have to do less of what their critics want them to, not more.
>>740039480>porn games get banned>much later an anonymous report comes out that said he was angry over this>omg gaben is such a great guy >porn games stay bannedhow gullible are you retards
>>740039480Bullshit.Rance games were banned by Valve jannies.
>>740039628foids don't deserve me and the jewish economy is not entitled to the fruits of my labor
>>740039628ban women from the workforce first and then we'll see
>>740039480If Gabe cared about porn games on Steam then he wouldn't allow the Campo Santo fags to deny every single one they find with a vaguely asian artstyle.Still pisses me off that they get free fucking reign.
>>740039796>>porn games get bannedthey aren't though, just a few that US law is vague on and they don't feel like taking the risk for no benefit
>>740039737dunno about the UK but I think it's similar if not the same situation as in Germany.In Germany, law requires you to verify with your ID to buy adult games. They wanted Steam to implement an ID checker system compliant with German law, but steam refused. And that is why you can't buy adult games from steam in Germany (only with a vpn)
>>740039737The other option is age verification.Blame your shitty, gay governments for trying to push that shit everywhere.
>>740039796But porn games aren't banned.
>>740039818yeah you deserve porn
>>740039990>>740040030that's not even our faggot government's fault, it's all based off some small regional authority complaining about it and they banned it for the entire country
>>740039964That. All the Gabe asslickers are ignorant newfags.
>>740039628>contribute to the economyNo, I don't think I will.
>>740039810>Rance games were banned by Valve jannies.???
>>740039480Holy fucking based
>>740039889that's antisemetic
>>740039628lmao I'm never looking at a woman again as soon as AI chatbots get better, they're already pretty good but holy fuck, tiktok foid
>>740039480>based gaben defends our freedomstimmy tencent would never
>republicans want to ban porn because christcukery>democrats want to ban porn because feminismsomeone please save us
>>740039737>vote for retarded shit and censorship gobernments>wtf why is this private company not going against the law??!anti steam niggers never beating the brainlet allegations
>>740040331centrism will return after they've gone and killed themselves in WW3.
>>740040331>>democrats want to ban porn because feminismBut the ones who want to ban porn aren't the ones with power.They're just whiny internet retards.
>>740040158>1 game coming later this year means it wasnt banned in the past
>>740039480HOLYFUCKING BASED
>>740040405yeah the christcucks aren't much of a threat
>>740039796only thing banned is your mom's pussy for being so rank
>>740040442Anon, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>740040331Why didn't you listen to ron paul
>>740040469They are if you live in a red state.Thankfully, I don't, so I'm not worried.
>>740040405>But the ones who want to ban porn aren't the ones with power.>They're just whiny internet retards.Nah, they go through NGOs, and career plutocrats on the liberal side often end up as CEOs and spokesmen for those things, and then those get used by government and corporate lobbies as a way to push things.We're seeing a lot of "bipartisan" shit through the feminist hatred of men, through NGOs, being co-opted by christcucks and shit like NCOSE to claim that all pornography will lead to child abuse somehow, and then the NGO is pushing the narrative that public agrees to, while getting paid by conservatives who actually just want men to marry and women to give birth to babies.
>>740040504>games coming soon mean it wasnt banned in the past
>>740039480so is his lawyeras long as the proceedings go to his long nosed tribe
>>740040594Now you're just spouting shit, stop being retarded.
>>740040331Both parties are staffed by homosexuals.
>>74003962810x only ? why would a single man contribute jack shit to society ?
>>740039480Alright, let's say I trust this and Gaben is anti-censorship. Steam is nothing but a marketplace, he's still completely at the mercy of visa and mastercard to do business. Unless he's gonna switch his operation to crypto (and other funny jokes we tell ourselves)
>>740040158It was supposed to be released on 2019 but got denied. Valve jannies were very uppity toward anime games.https://steamdb.info/app/1055130/history/
>>740039628Men have no incentive to marry if they don't own their wives and adultery is legal. Sorry.
>>740039480most porn games arent on steam anyway because steam asks for a giant portion of sales
>>740040721Valve was one of the first to accept crypto, retarded loli nigger. But it was such a volatile piece of shit, they had to drop it.How does it feel being an ignorant, worthless fuck and being proud of it?
>>740040721Steam actually did support bitcoin way back when, but stopped because crypto is too volatile to ever use as a form of payment. The only ones that might be an option are the ones that are pegged to the dollar, like USDC or USDT.We need a payment processor version of the ESRB; where all the major gaming players get together and make their own payment processor where anything legal is a-okay, and content blocks only apply to a specific form of payment, a specific region, or a specific store.
>>740040834hmm 2017 those were good timesi thought i was gonna be rich
then why is dohna dohna not on steam
>>740040342we don't even have digital ID laws, he's just being a subservient cuck to the feminazi green dykes who wanted him to ban all adult games
>>740039628>We need to ban porn so that men need to rely on women for gratification againthis wont end how you think it will end
Steam allowing porn was always retarded given how its slowly getting deplatformed from payment processors. They don't have THAT much power they can ignore it forever. They probably won't rip away any titles you pay for but I think in 5/10 years new content won't be on the platform with the way things are going.I still have no idea why they even started in the first place, its still a fairly recent thing.
>>740039480If this is true, then if only he could fire Mary or whomever it is that seethes and always tries to reject/remove R18 JP VNs coming across her desk. Most of their jannies seem to be fine with allowing them, but there's definitely one or two who need to fuck off.
>>740040978>uhm ackshuallythey're all on sale in my country and I have no issues, sorry for your nigger infested shithole bro
I mean, they were moderated appropropriatley before the Visa?Mastercard meltdown last year>Need to mark account 18+ (no ID/face scan required)>need to search for genre or titles intentionally, game not mixed in with other non-MA genresLiterally, worked fine, it's the government wanting to control and monitor you and the card companies that need an attitude adjustment.
>>740040978>we don't even have digital ID lawsYou literally do, what the fuck are you talking about?Fucking Xbox and Playstation have already implemented digital ID age verification in the UK, and even fucking 4chan has been getting bugged by your gay internet "agency" to implement age verification, for a fucking anonymous website.
>>740041031Anon, Mary is obviously the payment processor liaison."She" is there to do the bidding of Mastercard and Visa, and if Valve removes "her" Mastercard and Visa will only act even more retarded.
UK will fully ban porn to appease Muslim immigrants within the next 5 years, screenshot this post
>>740039810>>740040442>these games used to be banned but now they're not but that means they're still banned????
>>740040978>digital ID laws?First of all, it's coming, it's being talked all over europe right now, but also, what the fuck are you bringing up digital IDs for?Germany and the UK both is infested by retards, muslims, communists, and karens and they're the ones in control, you trying to deflect the blame to some random fat american instead of your country's culture putting these people in power will never fly, you're a retard or you're being retarded on purpose, so shut the fuck up either way you little bitch
>>740039480He didn't think that 20 years ago. Valve tried to arrest people making Alyx porn back when HL2 came out.
>>740039628It's so weird to see these pseudo Christian grifters take over this site now
>>740041218>muslims want to get rid of this
>>740039480>Karl QuackenbushThat has to be made up. This has to be a fake article.
>>740040331Feminists are pro porn, onlyfans is a feminist's wet dream.Jealous millennial women and zoomers are anti porn
>>740039726>Quackenbushno kidding
>>740039525This? Really? This is the thing that proves it? You're just straight up not paying attention, if this is the thing that proves it. Probably because you are a retarded coomer who is uninterested in the workings of the actual world around you, who only gets upset about it when that world threatens to endanger your precious gooner media. Maybe try waking the fuck up. I don't support porn being banned, but I wouldn't be sorry to see it go. People have to suffer.
>>740040724its probably specifically about the rape and underaged women being sexualized.
>>740041251>the games were banned by valve in the past>no they werent look, none of them are on steam but theyre coming soon>somehow this means none of the games were banned in the pastWhat are you confused about? No one said they're still banned, are you seeing things that aren't there?
>>740040834Call me retarded, but you're proving my point. It emphasizes the lack of leverage he has here. Crypto wasn't and isn't a viable solution>>740040914>We need a payment processor version of the ESRB; where all the major gaming players get together and make their own payment processorHaven't there been attempts at creating alternatives to the current payment processor stranglehold that mostly went nowhere?
>>740041096we're talking about germany here, we don't have digital ID laws
>>740041440Then why the fuck are you all still complaining?
>>740041154Holy shit
>>740041458Germany flat out bans depictions of certain things deemed "reprehensible" you smoothbrain.Valve is personally very well-acquainted with retarded German censorship:https://youtu.be/vkUuABNnTC0https://youtu.be/_o_rHpdHB2k
>>740041293you're a delusional retarded niggerfaggot and your kike AI is just as retarded. you can access basically any fucking porn website here without a vpn and nothing gets blocked, and nobody gets fined. yet steam knelt to the green commie faggots and banned all that content even though porn is freely accessible everywhere
>>740041446porno
>>740040504On that note, will these have japanese language too?
>>740041446>lack of leverage he has here>just make your own bank bro
>>740041671Gaben wants this on Steam.
>>740041743>depicting hentai consumers as attractive men and women (LOL)
>>740039737They aren't banned in UK, don't get me wrong it's highly thwarted but the content is available in the UK.Not defending the retarded censorship but its an important distinction, the UK government hasn't banned any games for sale as a result of that act.
>>740041031>>740041154I dont know about Mary being the payment processor but its most likely not a real person and is just the fake name they use to block stuff. Might be many people that are just using that name.
>>740041841We are (in our games)
>>740041585>waah waahh stop it, lemme vote for my powerful wahmenShut the fuck up retard
>>740039628Drastically lower or remove the age of consent, ban women from the workplace, stop the hoarding of family homes by corporations and boomers. No one will care about your precious economy until this happens.
>>740041678I assume they're just going to be the GOG versions of those games but with the sex scenes removed and put up on their website for you to download later.
>>740042028Well then what's the point!
Gaben is pro-money. It's bizarre that credit card companies aren't, but maybe when you have that much money you'd rather just control the world instead.
>>740041984You can also do this by deporting all the browns. Then the economy would have no choice but to treat you fairly because they can't undercut you with unlimited immigrants.
>>740041154Nah, they would've already done so if that's the case to begin with. Whoever Mary is, has no worth to Gaben, and should be thrown out before they infiltrate.
>>740041746hot sisterwife
>>740042058I dunno, except Rance 3, that's not on GOG for some reason.
>>740040072It's a peaceful life.
>>740040626>if something happened and I pretend it didn't happen then it didn't happen
>>740041956>retard can't readok
>>74003962810 x 0 =0 nice try
>>740040504>Rance is coming soonThat's not what she said!!
>>740039480When Gaben dies we're so fucked. Steam being privately owned is the only buttress against endless bullshit and even now they're constantly being harangued by the ADL etc
>>740042059>Gaben is pro-money.Except when devs insult him, then he isn't.
>>740039726He wants his lawyer to tell him what he wants to hear and to argue his position, not to work against what Gabe wants. And to the extent that there are any (legal) problems with the lack of moderation, Gabe expects that the lawyers will handle it. That's basically what he's saying.
>>740042059>Gaben is pro-money. It's bizarre that credit card companies aren'tThat's the part that really gets me. Just stay in your fucking lane. Literally no one was blaming them for the existence of naughty pictures
>>740042059>>740042257What's even more bizzarre is that payment processors never debank politicians/lobbyists and their businesses involved in rape scandals or political astroturfing especially regarding Israel. They want to maintain this illusion that they aren't funding child sex trafficking rings, when in reality they do.
>>740040342>UK, Germany>vote
>>740039796This. Buying my $1000 steam deck now.
>>740042149lmao dudes crashing out hard he is STEAMING
>>740042326>What's even more bizzarre is that payment processors never debank politicians/lobbyists and their businesses involved in rape scandals or political astroturfing especially regarding Israel.That's because the banks are in bed with Israel, they only debank you if you criticize Israel or threaten to enforce international law against Israel.
>>740042361Was. This was like, 10 years ago. He got mad that his game wasn't marked as released, said he'd kill gabe (an obvious joke) and then they removed his game from Steam because of that. His game reviewed well, people liked it and would have bought it but because the guy said something bad about Gabe, they couldn't.
>>740042257>>740042326idk how true it is, but the most plausible thing I heard was that sex related purchases wind up with the most chargebacks or refunds out of any industry, so it is about the money but they use prudism as a scapegoat
>>740039628Shalom
>>740042457Good.
>>740042512>don't insult me or I'll pull your game from my platform!>i am a champion of free speech
>>740039628>OY VEYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>740042469Onlyfans and western porn sites are openly supported by payment processors regardless of chargebacks. It seems like they're just racist against Japanese content specifically, since it undermines their monopoly on porn.
>>740042538nah, it's more like "heard you talking shit like you thought i wouldn't found out".
>>740042583Same energy as this.
>>740042149You know, we do a lot of funny trolling for a laugh here on 4chan, but that is a death threat. There is no way around that. Like, I cannot think of a single reason to type those words, it's not nuanced or funny enough to be based, it's not constructive enough to be prophetic or informative, there is 0 reason whatsoever to do this.
>>740042632lmaogood
>>740042640Kill yourself.
>>740041847it's fucked that you have to have a credit card in the UK to look at porn though. i'm lucky to have a good credit rating but i still had to order a paypal credit card just so i could look at pornography on steam.i don't really blame valve though, it's probably the best option they could have picked. still mad gay though
>>740042675oh noes
>>740039628Ah yes, women are not the issue. Not at all. Nnnnope. Aaaalways men. Mhm. Yup.
>>740042469I guess that'd make sense. I don't know much about economics, but if it's the card companies and the banks eating the loss and not the storefront itself, then perhaps it is so
>>740042730Women don't consume porn, you are not a woman.
>>740042701my body decays, but the police are down the road on their way as we speak
>>740042765steam status?
>>740042457literally all you have to do is not make death threats, how hard is that?
>>740039628>married man>in this economy>banning contentYou just want to create more jeet and paki behavior broMaybe you should go and live with them instead of infesting the west
>>740042640you're are right. this gayboy is literally going to murder Gabe Newell. for real he was probably just drunk as fuck or pissed off, don't be a wanker and call for the guy's arrest
>>740042812it's just a laugh buddy why are you getting this mad
>>740039525Gabe likes all the porn on Steam because he himself is a wealthy fat Ugly Bastard. They're made for him.
How can we make Gabe fuck off his yacht and come back to valve?Its clear ever since he stepped away his dumbass employees have been doing dumbshit
>>740042849bad weather
>>740042149that looks like a wojack game from a glance
>>740039480jew, don't make the big dog gabe MAD!
>>740042787>just don't say wrongthink, how hard is that?
>>740042257Why would they? They're invincible. Even the world's richest man couldn't break into their cartel.
>>740039818based, taking your balls and going home is the right choice
>>740042457>said something bad about Gabehe made a death threat on social media like a moron>>740042538>don't insult meThe fact that you keep downplaying what was said is proof enough that you know the real thing was a valid reason for them to cut him off. "It was a joke" doesn't hold up and you know it.There isn't a single company on earth that wouldn't cut ties with him for doing that. He's yet another terminally online autist who doesn't know how to separate the behavior of internet anonymity, like calling eachother niggers on 4chan, from the proper behavior expected of any working professional in the real world.>game was yet another roguelike indie slopchecks out
>>740042905Are you one of those kids who posts "say words = money stolen" threads every time he gets banned for saying nigger?
>>740039628>A married man contributes 10x more to the economy than a single manI'm a level 47 wizard. My W2 last year was $302k.
>>740042757>Women don't consume pornChristcucks are so retarded.I think we might just need to ban them from existence.
>>740042849The call of the sea....
>>740042905more like don't be a retard and threaten the guy running the store you work at.
>>740042958>>740042979>>740043026Keep defending hypocrisy.
The payment processor cartel is the most power and untouchable group to ever exist. They always win and there's nothing you can do to them.
>>740043050GABE IS A HERO AND HE DID NOTHING WRONG, THIS FUCKING INDIE GAME WAS GARBAGE.
>>740042757Oh, you think porn is the only issue why men aren't having sex? Nothing about how it's impossible to raise children when both parents are working, or how women can destroy a man's life with false accusations where women are believed by default?No fault of women at all? Just men and porn? Porn goes poof and men go out seeking women, just like that? Not that men choose porn over women as getting actual partners in this day and age is a mine field not worth the hassle? The porn is the core problem and not a symptom of a deeper, more complex set of problems that cannot be solved with a single blanket ban from big daddy government?Really now? Thaaaat's cute. Yep, tooootally natural.
>>740043050Is the hypocrisy in the room with us now?
>>740043026I was just foolin' about...
>>740042108Guess I'll just have to track the games down individually.
>>740043060The only thing stopping online stores from doing direct bank transfers like you can in other countries besides the US is that it adds extra legal hoops on their end to worry about
>>740043092Yeah, definitely worse than the stuff Gabe sells on his store now, and not made by a chud who makes death threats backed by criminal, terroristic intent.
>>740043097You say that like the Jews didn't set it up that way specifically so high iq individuals won't have children. They see all these issues and think "well shit, better not." Whereas a Mexican see this and goes que?" Then he fucks anything that moves. Same for niggers, then they leave their kids behind because raising kids is for suckers, whites and Mexicans. At least the Mexican dumbass will raise his kid.
>>740042457I don't care how obvious it is, it's not funny. >kill yourselfis funny>I'm going to shove my foot in your ass and make you spit foot fungusis funny. Saying verbatim "I will kill you" isn't. Simple as. Learn nuance and delivery>he was angryI thought you said he was joking? Which is it?>>740042783It's being a bitch and won't open. KDE does this weird thing where it will only open it once and I have to kill the process to start it up properly again, but I'm getting weird crashes. May need to restart my machine.
>>740043060And the reason is because you refuse to call them by name.
>>740043187What stops them is regulatory capture. The US governments sanctions governments that give Visa/Mastercard competition. Banks hate payment processors just as much as we do, since they absolutely Jew them with fees.
Whatever happened to American Express Card anyway?
>>740042149What game did Mikey make? And shouldn't his name be Mike Murdergabe?
>>740043380It's still around. Nobody uses it because it's part of the same cartel as Visa/Mastercard but charges higher fees.
>gamers souring on valve for the price raise>multiple articles suddenly come out all trying to paint valve as greatIm nooticing
>>740042902It's more like a dungeon crawler fps, with minecraft-esque graphics.
>>740043187You can already go USDC(stablecoin) > QR payment system > Straight to Bank deposit in the US and like 10 countries more in the Americas. The biggest mistake these guys trying to build alternate payments system is that they always pick some 3rd world country to do it, they need to do it in the US first, integrate it with Apple Pay and Google Wallet.

>>740043449Wait, he made Paranautical? So why is he upset that his game is on the front page? Is that the wrong art or somethin

>>740043565naturally
>>740043551He released the game on Early Access and actually finished it, but Steam wouldn't let him change the banner that said that it was still in Early Access.
>>740041423His bush quacks
>>740039628How are men supposed to contribute anything to the economy when they've been systematically pushed out of gainful employment Gainful being the main word
>>740043631Oh, so the pic is cropped then? I don't see Early Access written anywhere.
>>740043628>groomer game reaction image
>>740043604Not even. The only thing the Trump administration did was send out a strongly worded letter warning banks to stop debanking. It has zero enforcement value.
If this is true I have so much respect for this bastard
>>740043664They haven't. Women gained the right to work like a century ago almost.
>>740043726And?
>>740043681Yes. And if the game isn't in early access, but the banner says it is, that's false advertising, something that you shouldn't be doing if you are a white man.
I hope Tim kicks the bucket first.
>>740039796This article was intended to be a hitpiece but makes Valve look based by accident
>>740043695Is this true? Where do I sign up to get groomed?
>>740039480gabe's not pro porn, he's pro-money, the distinction is important
>>740043721He stood his ground against the Rothschilds and they got the whole kike shebang raining down on him. But kikes are useless tho, if they try to debank Steam then potentially it could be a big lawsuit against them due to new laws against debankment.
