Developers say that game censorship‘s main goal is to stifle sales of the adult game market, including LGBTQ+ games that have nothing to do with the ongoing censorship war. For many, this is a big difference between life and death, because the harm that is being done to them directly affects sales of the games they have been working on for years. Not only are games not related to explicit adult content hidden from the algorithm, but those that deal with complex topics are starting to get the axe too. A big fight is brewing on the horizon and we at Infinite Start will cover what is happening.
Developers say censorship kills art
It is true that censorship kills art, when you look up what has happened historically, it can be traced back to the earlier days when powerful figures tried to oppose any sort of dissent. We are living in modern times where this is happening, and it seems that the same group of people is rising back to power to ensure developers cannot get paid for giving a message. Fear and Hunger is another game that got delisted from the store, and you have to go far and wide to seek a way to play it.
This will negatively impact the people behind such an amazing game, and it is sad to see this happening. Developers say that these are unprecedented times, and maybe its time to keep the head low and fight against this injustice. Algorithmic removal is a big issue because it can harm the prospects of sales for a game, and what happened right now was primarily focus on removing visibility from artists yet again. They have to deal with “AI” stealing their works, and now they have to deal with draconian companies trying to prevent them from getting money. These are chaotic times, some developers say.
