Goodbye Eternity
Update on NSFW content
Goodbye Eternity » Devlog
Hi everyone,
A major upheaval is underway in the adult gaming world: payment processors’ pressure has finally paid off. Steam has purged its catalogue and Itch.io is doing the same; all adult games have been delisted for now, they are sorting the wheat from the chaff. Only games meeting specific criteria will remain. No idea how this will end, Goodbye Eternity is a vanilla game so it should weather this storm, but in this industry nothing is certain.

Fucking faggots in politics, they don't know how else to show that they are the masters and people are slaves.
Fucking morons, it's literally 1984 knocking on the door
Bom, so espero que o Macumba nao morra
For U.S. Citizens Here is a link to the ACLU's petition. https://action.aclu.org/petition/mastercard-sex-work-work-end-your-unjust-policy
This isn't a normal petition, but a call for legal action. Please sign so that those that work in this industry and adjacent industries don't have to worry about Payment Processors' harassment.

This was never about "unacceptable" games. The reason these payment processors are targeting NSFW games, is so they can get their foot in the door of controlling what you do with your money. To get comfortable with the idea that the money you worked for aren't actually yours. If this goes unpunished and uncorrected, it will reach the point of controlling how much meat you buy, because it's "bad" for the environment. Or controlling your movement, or anything really that they deem fit with the blessing of the government. If they pull back, they will present the compromise of needing you to show your face or ID to login on the internet, basically filing you from what you watch, what you share, what you post, everything. Basically, like in China, but with the illusion that this is in any shape or form democratic. "YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY." This wasn't a suggestion. In the US there is some kind of bill to shackle these payment processors from dictating what people do with their own money. I have no idea about what Europe would be able to do, cause they are pretty much in favor of this control. They fucked up so royally that they are deathly afraid of their own people talking online. I hate this fucking world.
And remember, NO FUCKING COMPROMISE. PULL YOUR MONEY OUT OF THE BANKS. LEAVE ONLY NECESSERY AMOUNTS.
As a European, I tend to think we deal with monopolies pretty well here, actually. With regards to payment processors we have been asleep at the wheel for a long time though. There is some initiatives now, but I am not yet convinced they will work out.
do not blame too much the payment processors
their actions were started by a letter from a gaggle of authoritarian pearl clutchers called "Collective Shout" based in Australia

so the payment processors pmuch responded the way they did because "oh shit the optics" and the worry of whether they could be held responsible over people accessing illegal content, as apparently one was clobbered over the head because a kid bought access to a porn site or something
Does this mean the stuff getting banned is illegal in Australia? I hear they have odd rules when it comes to porn.
It's a foot in the door with a "moral" crusade, and porn is the low hanging fruit. The tried this a few years to curtail U.S. citizen's second amendment rights. Texas and Florida put a stop to that, but I doubt governors and state legislators will put their reputations on the line for this.
I'll agree that by and large GE is fairly vanilla, but it does include some activities which are likely to hit the triggers from this whole push going down. Namely a lot around landlady and her boss (rape), the kidnapping (rape), the bully (drugging/assault), the restaurant girl (reverse *rape*/coercion). From the perspective of the story-telling, it is presented in such a way as to make it clear that these things AREN'T positive or good. But, these rules aren't looking at context since the major pushers behind it want a zero tolerance policy.
I get that zero tolerance is a common tool for addressing unacceptable behaviors, and it can help discourage those who are looking to engage in those activities under the cover of "acceptable" excuses. But, it just seems like a situation where the line of discourse and action between victims, advocates, businesses, accomplices, innocent actors, perpetrators, and abusers gets really skewed or blurred until individuals NOT engaged in actual abuse get swept up in punishment while abusers slip past since they were already prepared for the backlash.
Because, banning "unacceptable" NSFW tags, was never the goal. They had tried it with guns before. It's about controlling your money. Getting you comfortable with not owning your money.
In germany, steam already blocked almost all "nsfw" content, wich is why itch was so great. only a few games had a smart solution by putting a barely palyable "sfw" version on steam and by downloading a free patch from the games site you'd get the full thing. If itch does end up without any nsfw, I only know of "Kagura games", they are fine putting up third-party games on their store page, maybe more creators will approach them for that.
Not sure if this game will make this, gut feeling, but I truly hope it will
This whole situation has me very upset. I am not convinced any of the alternative places people talk about will help. In the end you gotta deal with Vesa and Mastercard.
Oh, and just putting this here... aclu.org/mastercard
A similar thing happened in the past with the Tumblr purge - do you have a website or other way for followers to keep track of your game and development efforts? Something not on someone else's platform and beholden to their terms of service?
Honestly id hope most creaters and fan instead of trying to weather the storm fight back against this. I did see some petitions already going out but i have no idea how effective those are.
with the bans being bad and people annoyed a lot are rushing to download games so you should see a influx on downloads, if it does come to you being delisted with your game it certainly won't be forgotten especially with the more downloads
F**k!
have i caught up to a route if there aren’t any prompts? or is it a bug and something is supposed to tell me i’ve caught up, because when i change the time: sayuri’s portrait flashes at the usual hint spot, but nothing stays (linux port)
subscribe star helped someone who was caught in patreon payment limbo a while back, just in case
I hope there is chance of changing something

хаха. как би icho теперь не забросили. Как по мне основная часть этой платформы это NSFW игры. Но в целом новость плохая и для людей, которые следят за новостями понравившихся игр. На патреоне сидеть вообще желания нет, да и к тому же не удобно по сравнению с Icho смотреть новости. а других сайтов где авторы делятся новостями (популярных сайтов) в принципе и нет. я все новости именно с icho получал.
Awesome, time to forget this site exists. I wish ya luck, luckily I follow you elsewhere though I have no intention to pay again for the game unless it's finished.
Later!
