    Enigma Heart isn’t erotic. Blobun isn’t much of an RPG, and probably not erotic to most people – tho slimegirls is a tag I’ve seen before. Kitsune Tails isn’t an erotic RPG, it’s a platformer.

    But, they are all lesbian, and I want to be able to purchase and play them.

      Jokes on the payment processor I already bought the lesbian rpg. Twice. Once on steam and the second time from the dev team.

      How about using an actual form of currency? Fluctuating “currencies” don’t work. Unregulated is even worse.

      Even just Paypal or something, you know, a service that is actually used for payments?

        It’s exceedingly difficult to pass hard cash through the internet.

        If you do swift or ACH you are automatically identified. Also the same institutions that handle the Swift and ACH are highly dependent upon Visa and MasterCard.

        PayPal doesn’t exist in a vacuum, If they piss off Visa or MasterCard they’re as fucked as anyone else.

        We could use wampum for whatever the fuck it matters, But we need to be able to handle currency trades some way outside of Visa and MasterCard and the corporations that prop them up.

        Crypto is mostly intertwined with bullshit pyramid schemes but the capability of transferring money back and forth, holding secure ledgers, and verifying transactions is quite real.

      Fuck crypto.

      You still need to obtain crypto, and the exchanges are the second worst thing about BTC.

      I know a game developer that makes porn games not affected by this bullshit. I suggest going straight to the source.

        That’s fair, but they still got to get paid. And preferably marketed. Steaming company are just vessels to make that easier. We need to fight this save ourselves bullshit. But honestly I’d love to see alternate payment methods that side step capitalism.

      That’s a risky proposition because industry giants have already tried to dethrone Steam, which could just adopt BTC once you become a threat.

        If Steam re-listed all the games it took down, I’d consider that a win
