It is horrific that this human-rights black hole has such an influence on global industries, simply by dictating what its people are allowed to enjoy
Why? You clearly have no issues with any other government denying people their rights and exerting massive influence over media. Just pissy that it isn't your own?
This. A ton of games have it removed eventually. The main purpose is just to keep the game from getting cracked during the initial release phase where they expect the majority of sales and hype.
It eternally amuses me that it's on the banned games list. Like yeah, it's a shit game, but looking at the rest of the list (and games that aren't banned, for that matter), it's absurdly mild.
Exactly. The twitch thot meta is entirely successful because they don't have to compete with people posting actual porn, and that they aren't posting on a porn site such that it's less likely to be restricted, and gets full publicity
The problem, at least to me, is the wildly inconsistent application of the rules. Plenty of streamers have gotten bans for inappropriate content for far, far less than this, and been told to shove it when they tried to appeal. I can guarantee you nobody would be up in arms over this if twitch just treated it as a free for all, and didn't care if people streamed tits. The problem is that it isn't, and lots of people get banned, while the big thirst streamers get given a free pass on everything
Also, If this goes through, the "banned games" list is going to need some real pruning.
Sounds like a (somehow even more) shit isp. I just tapped the "bring my own" when I signed up, and bought myself a modem/router combo at best buy.
