ZOOM Platform also had payment processor issues, say they "have no plans to remove any titles"

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.

Isn't a bit too late to ban Duke Nukem?

F*ck that "fellow member of the industry".
I hope we'll know who they are, and sooner the better!

I don't think that's gonna stop them...

Same recycled moral panic, I'm shocked anyone older than gen alpha would be surprised by such a development.

Zoom? I didn't know the video chat company was in the game selling business! jk lol
Seriously though, never heard of them until now. Glad they are standing their ground though.

@Tevur
Dude. Have you even been paying attention to what's going on here? The activist group claiming responsibility for this is Collective Shout, a group of feminist extremists from Australia. It's not the Americans this time.

It's "Fascism" by the way, not "Fashism". And believe it or not, the spectre of fascism is a bigger problem in the commonwealth nations than the USA right now. While you've been focusing on the antics in America, they've been sneaking their agendas into Australia, New Zealand, Canada and even the UK. Probably other countries as well ...

I'm not American.

@Caldathras While it's very true that fascists are insinuating themselves into the whole Anglosphere (and far beyond), I think it's an overstatement to say they're a bigger problem in countries where they have not actually seized power. While the US system of "checks and balances" is not yet clinically dead, it is showing few signs of successfully checking or balancing, and the recent budget bill included a massive appropriation to hire so many people into the Gestapo ICE that it will have more personnel than the FBI.

As to Collective Shout . . . I've watched as activist groups demanded things for plenty of decades. The general rule is, they never get the things they demand unless (1) It was going to happen anyway, or (2) There is an upsurge in protest so massive that it is shutting down society, or occasionally (3) Nobody cares about the demand so what the heck. And that last one is rare; the default is "give them nothing, don't encourage them". Some Australian weirdly reactionary feminist group I'd never heard of is not in itself going to force a big transnational company to do anything. A couple days ago I speculated that it was all lawyer stuff happening at mid levels, but I think I was wrong--this has been too widespread for that. I think they must have decided that there is strong popular/political backing for this kind of thing, and/or there's some high-ups who are into it.
