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.

I'm gonna be honest here and I hope nobody will be mad at me,
I have been pirating this game for a while now.
But now since this censorship of porn games I have bought a copy, I think I should just start supporting all the devs making these games, cause they damn deserve it.
So please kindly take my 15 euro.
at this point we might aswell ban all games because you can always make an excuse for why set game(s) are bad
In addition to this, the UK's "Online Safety Act 2023" has come into full force, and now itch is restricting access to https://the-end-of-time.itch.io/ for UK users. The game's page is unaffected, for now...
BAN the snake and tetris! it may cause irritation!
Doing such stupid things is easier, than spending money and effort on finding the actual culprit of real crimes, like child abuse, slavery, etc. And real pronography and OF are safe, coz this is money for big corpos, and u know who own this big business? This attacks are targeted on small studios or single devs, coz they take money away from greedy ppl.
I know it sounds like those strange conspiracy theories, but there is a lot of shit going on in shadows... and since they control media, most ppl never get any info about it.
Does this mean development for the game is gonna slow down?
"Opposing pornography is not a conservative stance, but that of the Chinese Communist Party. Get your facts straight."
It is the stance of Melinda Tankard Reist, and Collective Shout, a religiously backed non-profit created in Australia. Using money and lobbying to have payment processors like Mastercard, Visa, and PayPal deny people the RIGHT to spend their own hard earned money on the legal content they want. They have gone after Detroit Become Human, GTA V, among many other games. This is a slippery slope because they also think games like God of War Ragnarök should be banned, since it shows a child in a distressed situation. This does nothing but affect the consumer and make the places where this content is purchased from more and more dangerous.
Suppressing normal sexuality is bad, porn is not inherently addictive, people can become addicted to anything (look at fucking TLC my strange addiction). I agree maybe content warnings before things. But straight up banning something will not stop people from finding it and using it.
This is a dangerous road, first its Adult games, then its all games they don't agree with, What happens when say EA lobby's to have a competitors games cancelled or banned due to some arbitrary claim.
I suggest you go to the hospital to see your brain
It's so ridiculous that you don't even know who the culprit behind the delisting is. Let me tell you It was Australian feminist organizations that forced itch, steam and others to remove such games by complaining about payment companies Before this, when I was traveling in Chinese mainland, I was accessible in private places.
"Le moyen d'éviter les sanctions imposées dans votre pays est de vendre via le site japonais https://www.dlsite.com/. Bien que ce ne soit pas toujours exact, il paraît que, après un certain volume de ventes, le site peut même proposer une traduction par IA sur demande."
I guess occidental porn games will have to be sold on japanese sites like DLsite or JAST who really consider porn games/books as art pieces
Edit : life not that simple
DLsite has been removing/delisting "unsavoury" games for quite a while, people ought to fight against our credit overlords.
Yeah I saw that yesterday - apparently because of the same credit overlords :(
Fucking faggots in politics, they don't know how else to show that they are the masters and people are slaves.
Ironic that the people who are doing this aren anti LGBTQ...
Actually they are conservatives who hate porn in general, so I strongly doubt they are not anti LGBTQ+
I wouldn't put "conservative" on it like that. They are Bible pushers that most likely are conservative, sure, but believe me as someone who leans more right then left, I and nobody I know support this shit. Itd be nice if we could stop associating everything with parties as a whole. Let's just gang up on the Bible pushers together and call it a day lol
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.
With monopolies? Yes. Our problem is that for us, the censorship comes straight from the government.
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
https://www.collectiveshout.org/our_team
https://www.collectiveshout.org/open-letter-to-payment-processors
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.
i do not know,more likely the persons behind that mail took that angle because it would cause a response.
also they are quite disingenuous because they also praised "Cuties" a Netflix film that is pretty sexualising of minors
No, absolutely blame the payment processors. You think these clowns are the first to write them about it? They (the pps) even tried to force only fans to ban porn a while back, but for whatever reason backed of in the end (somebody probably had a second look and saw how much they really were making in fees there).
You can also still by all kinds of nsfw stuff with your card, so it definitely aren't the optics they care about. Christ, nobody even considered Visa etc. to have an image before this, they were just an unobtrusive middleman.
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?
