✍️ Steam and Itch.io have banned thousands of video games, citing vague regulations, with one game, VILE: Exhumed, being removed due to its depiction of 'sexual content with depictions of real people'.
👉 Thousands of video games have been banned or removed from Steam and Itch.io 👉 The exact reasons for the bans are unclear, but are believed to be related to new regulations imposed by payment processors 👉 VILE: Exhumed, a game about misogynistic violence, was removed from Steam despite containing no explicit content 👉 The game's developer, Cara Cadaver, is a solo female developer who worked on the game for years and is deeply personal to her 👉 The censorship has been criticized by the International Game Developers Association and the Electronic Frontier Foundation 👉 Indie game developers are being disproportionately affected by the censorship 👉 Steam and Itch.io's vague rules and lack of transparency have led to overreach and inaccuracies in the banning process
