Yo this is also my first jam but my friend and I want to join a team and help... If anyone needs a 2D artist and a music producer hmu or add me on discord @Quisdofeles
I don't know, man... I don't think I would ever defend a game that has rape, porn, and incest as it's main themes. If the dissentors are using their freedom of speech to "bully" (your words, not mine) the devs to not post their game, then maybe the devs had their minds changed.
I'm confused by your definition of "freedom of speech". You have the freedom to create whatever art/game you want. The dev could have created the game if he wanted to. Freedom of speech does not require Steam to host your game on their platform, however.
Not to mention, if you are a huge champion of "freedom of speech," why are you so upset that the community is "bullying" (your words not mine) when they are also expressing their views through their freedom of speech? So the game dev is protected by the freedom of speech but not the community expressing dissenting views?
"I am all for free speech and there is no "but" after that." and I'm sure that you would let some random people insult your wife, share inappropriate speech with your children, and use foul language in your house or your private property in defence of this free speech... of course not. Freedom of speech does not override private property... Steam has the right to restrict speech on their platform, especially when it is foul speech that can have negative impacts on Steam's community. Every company does this, Riot, Steam, Epic Games, Twitter, Youtube, Etc. It is not your right to use Steams platform it is a privilege granted to you by Steam, and that privilege can be revocted whenever Steam decides.
Iv never heard of this game or situation before reading the OP's post but its very telling how many people are trying to defend this vile ubhorrent game. Shows a lot about the Itch.io community.
gloating? buddy I'v never heard of the game before reading your post... you admit the game is vile, so why would you be surprised if it's taken off a platform? I got no horse in this race, just thought it was telling that people are defending a disgusting game. how do you reconcile, "the activists won" with "the devs pulled the game"? Not even the developers thought they should post the game? (truly asking this iv never heard of this particular situation before)
bro low-key your turning me into a hater too... everything I see about this game is vile and disgusting. I'm all for free speech, but at the end of the day, what Steam puts on their website/application represents their company and affects their reputation. This game seems vile. If I had a platform like Steam I would remove the game too, and not because I hate you or discriminate against you, but because I don't want to host/advertize this kinds of disgusting content.

Hey, I am a 2D Artist specializing in design and illustration. I have experience in concept art, character design, pixel art, animation, and UI/UX design.
