What irks me is that they say it's about this game called "No Mercy." I can understand if the game itself violated the TAC on the site where it was posted, but even then, Itch and Steam could have just delisted THAT GAME. This is an extreme overreaction and has shown that outside companies and interest groups can bully them into dictating what consumers can legally and consentually consume with their own money. Yes, it is the payment systems and those who manage them that are at fault here. However, to give in to the pressure like this without warning makes it feel like they are just giving up without a fight. Most of the games that were delisted didn't violate the Terms; you need an account even to download NSFW games, which requires age verification; and we, as consumers, can either just not buy the game or, if it does violate something, report it. These creators have Freedom of Speech, and consumers, adult consumers at that, have the right to make a legal and informed purchase.
