Is that a land-shark-car-ship?

Illegal according to jurisdiction of which country(ies) exactly?

The one of the seller. If a country wants any other restrictions they can duke it out with Steam on their own to limit what is sold to their people. Having payment processors restrict it for everyone is cracking a nut with a sledgehammer AND giving said hammer to a company to do as they like uncontested.

But no one has addressed the elephant in the room here. Look over the list of the games being banned. The topic of these games is incest. Now, I can't speak to European regulations -- nor can I speak to Japanese ones either -- but here in North America, incest is illegal.

So is murder. But you'll find a ton of media where it is the main topic. Go into any bookstore – one of the biggest sections will be crime novels and almost all of them are centered around murder. The same goes for a lot of movies, songs, games and even poems.
So yes, incest is illegal – but it being the topic of media is not. If it were, Steam wouldn't list those games in the first place.

Think about how you would feel if games with guns or blood had to be removed because suddenly PayPal or Mastercard didn't like them. This is dangerous.

They already do stuff like that on a regular basis. For example you cannot pay some VPN Services and OCHs with PayPal or Mastercard.

Payment processors should never get a say in how people spend their money. Unless it is outright illegal there should be no restrictions – no matter what they, you, I or anyone else thinks about the content.
I am saying this not because I am fond of the delisted games, but because it is very much a slippery slope and one day they will dislike something I want to spend my money on.

The art vibe is really different.

Yeah... and I don't feel like it makes the game look any better. :neutral:

But at some point, we should stop complaining we can't run Amiga games without an emulator.

Excuse me? I'll kill off every second daemon in my system if that'll let me run A500 games natively! :grin:

Well of course the moment I have just decided to go with Fedora for my new computer this happens. :neutral:
