He's still the CEO of Novartis

The Americans had to occupy and place both Japan and West Germany under their military rule afterwards to make it stick, that's not a comparison

Be that as it may, the workhorse combat aircraft of most NATO air forces and the USAF itself is the F-16, a single-engine fighter, and its nominal replacement, the F-35 is also sin…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castillo_v._Texas Lest we forget. Sure in the end people rallied to him but it sure must have sucked. But yeah. Texas.

Because it's a critically acclaimed movie that will draw defenders if it's banned now. If the activists went all in right away they'll lose and they know it Same deal with GTA and …

I think a practical problem with this is that even if you offer this tech you will inevitably get groups of parents insisting the government use this power enforce their values on …

Yeah, but not yet from Steam. Anyway the point is, people keep bringing up "why don't they go after GTA and GOT instead of fringe eroge" so, yeah, one - they have but it was a part…

"It was a worldwide phenomenon and hundreds of millions of people probably watched it." - this is what explains why GOT is not the one getting taken down. Collective Shout is picki…

I think what that tells you is that there are still limits to what collective shout is able to do, hence why GTA is still for sale but the fringe porn games aren't

You answered your own question - if you go after shows with the popularity of game of thrones or games with the popularity of grand theft auto you will fail. They have picked their…

I said this on the other thread, it's obvious they don't yet have the clout to go after big titles like GoT or GTA yet, and it would be a losing strategy for them to do so. Hence w…

Half the time I see parents on HN crow about how they've blocked their kids access to social media and screens. I'm not sure where they will stand on porn. Would be interesting to …

If you think they should delist it then by all means, raise a petition or bring it to their attention. Perhaps the activist group simply has not had the resources to target this pa…

Replying here since we hit the nesting limit. Thanks for understanding. I'm still looking at the thread and see people bringing up other titles that haven't been banned as if that'…

Well this is exactly how it should work for any cause. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding. I'm saying the fact that they've succeeded in getting some games removed while others o…

They're saying that if things have come to the point that activists can successfully pressure a AAA title like BG3 to be delisted from steam, then they'll worry. What do BG3 and th…

1) Why haven't they banned porn game X when they banned porn game Y? -> it's just a matter of time, they've already established that they can pressure to get game x banned, they'll…

Sure, but GTA is still on steam.

From heise "In 2020, following a complaint from the Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein Media Authority, Valve blocked all titles that were labeled as “adult” and did not have an age rating…

Ah sorry I meant elsewhere in the thread

As I pointed out earlier, it's also valid that they are savvy enough to pick their battles and divide and conquer - you can't take down a critical mainstream success like GOT or GT…

It's possible he means people saying steam should not delist anything due to pressure from activists are tacitly condoning sketchy lolicon games.

The fact of the matter is you will find more people willing to publicly bat for GOT than you will find people willing to bat for an "indie incest non-con game". And it's not like G…

I think the matter here is the activists are being strategic now and chipping away by targeting very specific content to get delisted. As you rightly said, most people are not goin…
