Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

vintage story is easily one of the best games i've ever played. itch... u gonna do this in one hand, and offer supplications to payment processors in the other?

that doesn't leave any hands for doing good u realize
Woah. Vintage Story’s Anego Studios has “paused the sale of Vintage Story on itchio until further notice.” Founder Tyron Madlener claims “the itch corp has not paid us in over 3 months, despite multiple requests from our side.”

its been a week, and while we cannot let up pressure on making phone calls, we need to start applying pressure elsewhere now as well!

So, WFM guy here, I crunch call center numbers all day and advise management on performance and staffing requirements. Here are some concrete goals to keep in mind with any sort of calling campaign: 🧵

“Please send us emails instead” means “we can put key words from your script on our corporate spam filter and ignore you, but calls shut down our entire contact infrastructure”

Keep fucking calling.
LMAO I called Visa’s customer support service - the guy on the other line was like “are you ALSO calling about the video game payment processing? Please send us emails instead.”

Keep up the calls, folks, we’re definitely gumming up their works
I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

↻💬♡ to boost

We CAN make a difference 💕

Every time trans people ask "do you think they'll stop at this?" you need to immediately take it seriously. Remember when they said evangelicals and terfs won't stop at trans athletes? all queer people were on the chopping block, they just started with the easiest target.
"But this is just about porn games!"

Yes, and weird religious fascists regularly mischaracterize queer people and queer art as inherently pornographic, they shouldn't be given an inch because there's no line for them, no cut-off point, they'll never be satisfied. Do you think they'll stop at porn?
visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

we can beat them

I got the entire bullshit curriculum
Of how we were born broken and sinful, that to love anyone other than an unmarried christian was a sin
That youre so weighted with sin just by being born but telling them to a priest will rid you them

Welcome to the weekend! You made it sailor. Which censorious payment processor would you like to call first? Thanks to my moot @dieselbrain.bsky.social for the Stripe number, can confirm it works

In Brazil you can buy games on Steam using PIX, a fantastic digital payment system developed by the Brazilian government.

In the same week as US payment processors are censoring what you can buy, the US government is attacking Brazil & PIX.

payment processors really trying to make this relevant to every possible party huh

im a grudgeholding, horny-on-main gamedev with the wherewithal to have tirelessly converted a project to a completely new engine. is that the sort of fellow you want working AGAINST your interests

listen if you see the news wrt Steam's updated content policy and want to start SOMEWHERE to make a difference and put some pressure on Visa/Mastercard, there are worse places to start than here.

sign the petition, spread it around, get other folks to sign
Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word.

#Unity tried to screw all their users two years ago and now they're trying to run a license scam against @deanhall.bsky.social www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/co...

The best time for an #indiedev to get your project off of Unity was in 2023. The second best time? Is today.

Here's a snippet from the now-defunct Etrian Odyssey website. Kazuya Niinou, the lead designer behind the first game, talks about the importance of imagination when playing it.
