Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

Counterpoint: Humans do NOT need to argue, especially when it comes to whether other humans should have rights
Apparently it’s weird when you don’t want to spend your whole day arguing with randoms.

This is brutal, especially as Chinese and Taiwanese continue to see more and more success in the West. Fingers crossed things get turned around for BKinG, it would be a huge loss for all this work to not continue.
Something really fucked up for video game media just happened... BKinG, the "NoClip of China", got his YT channel deleted twice and gave up on YouTube.
His channel had dozens of documentaries on the development of all sorts of important Chinese & Taiwanese games - all posted with English subtitles.
