From the post:
>Back in July, Valve shocked gamers by suddenly removing numerous adult-only games from Steam to appease payment processors. Not long after, itch.io made a similar move in delisting thousands of NSFW games from its search results. Japanese politician Zenko Kurishita recently spoke out about the dangers of this abrupt censorship. Although Steam and itch.io’s recent issues have brought awareness of payment processors’ sudden and vague crackdowns on adult content to a wider, international audience, Japanese sites have been dealing with these problems since 2022. In recent years, demands from payment processors have disrupted services like NicoNico (Japan’s YouTube), fanart platforms like DLsite and Fantia, and online manga/anime store Melonbooks, to name a few (as documented by Automaton). All of these platforms have had to remove adult content or temporarily change their payment methods, usually removing Visa and/or Mastercard.
