ZOOM Platform that sell a lot of retro games, as well as publish upgrades for retro games, announced they've also been a target of payment processors for adult games.

In the announcement they noted:

As you are likely aware, there have been a number of adult title de-listings across the industry. One of our payment processors made us aware that a "fellow member of the industry" was concerned about our content. After we heard from the payment processor, we immediately engaged in lengthy discussions with both PayPal and Stripe. We worked with our contacts at the aforementioned payment processors to develop a tripartite solution to ensure the right to free speech and freedom of expression as well as protect the safety of our valued customers and partners.

They've now added opt-in two-factor authentication, they're looking at alternative payment options and also a wallet system. While also saying they have "no plans" to remove any titles and will "l do absolutely everything in our power to prevent such de-listings".

In an email to GamingOnLinux, one of their team said they expect the de-listing situation to expand further and in their discussions titles like "Grand Theft Auto, Duke Nukem, and Saints Row were described as potentially at risk".

As we already expected, NSFW games being a target was only ever going to be a first step. There's always more to it.

Are we back to blaming video games for the problems of our society? I thought that was so last year.

Zoom Platform is the "new" true GOG. Zoom supports Linux 100%. GOG does not. GOG has never (and never will it looks like) get any type of support from this household until they commit to Linux. To this day GOG does not have an official Linux client app, only Windows.

No, it's just the US Fuckers bringing their culture war shit to the whole world, paving way for this fucking evangelical MAGA Fashism.

First sexual content, next LGBTQ and everything "abnormal".

I would absolutely love to see them try to delist GTA across platforms. I'd buy out all the popcorn in my neighbourhood.
