I have a new suggestion. A guess the number game 1-100 in 7 tries or less. It doesn’t sound smart at first because its just guessing. However, if you always guess in the middle of the upper and lower bound, then you eliminate 50% of the pos

"Steam simply didn't want to start a fight with its payment providers over some niche content." Or the content was never supported by Steam, per their policy. You can check Wayback machine for support for my position. Dod you

This would be such a cash cow. You can record this because AI isn't a person. Ask it questions that might lead to it violating hiring law with stuff like family status, disabily topic, etc.

Steam Direct didn't update their policy on game content from what I see. Doesn't looked like Steam fought back. Seems as though Steam has never supported games with rape, incest, child exploitation, etc.

It is if it includes things like rape, which supposedly was what was removed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banned_video_games_i...

It's not for adult games, but for sexually violent games in Australia. Also, Pornhub already appeased the payment processors when they purged a bunch of content. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banned_video

"lol" This whole thing came about because of the Australian campaign to remove rape games consistent with law. Payment processors could be found liable for processing payments related to illegal activities. Steam anad the payment

If they start their own payment processing company, they will then be subject to the same laws and regulations and the existing processing companies. Who manages the money doesn't matter. Even if you use Crypto, Steam would still remov

They usually just charge a higher fee for the riskier category. If a particular vendor has too many charge backs, they could drop them for that. Obviously not the case with Steam.

It doesn't go that far. These are part of the Know Your Customer type of law. These have increasingly been pushed as part of anti money laundering onto banks, investments, and processors. If a company is selling illegal things or thing

My guess is that Steam wasn't able to adequately block the games in Austrailia. If people use a VPN to access the content, could Steam still be liable?

by giantg2 1y ago
This has nothing to do with charge backs and everything to do with the Australian and US laws.

Lots of outrage at the card companies, but strangely, no outrage at the laws that actually caused this. One is the Australian law to remove that type of content and the other is the US law that says the payment processor can't particip

So they claim the majority of the water is ground water and also that it is due to climate change. But I thought I've seen other studies talking about how ground water is being depleted at a higher rate than it could be replaced, even

There have been many plans large proposed, but none have passed recently. There's too much fighting over what to cut vs what to keep.

The economy looks like a mess. Unsold housing stock is at a 4 year high. Foreclosures are increasing. Jobs numbers are absolute garbage. Unemployment numbers still look ok only because the labor participation rate continues dropping. Consum

Still plenty of those sorts of things around me. Maybe this varies by state.

It's probably a role that varies by location or group. There are cheaper ways to hangout and be social. A 30pk and garage/basement/woods can usually be had for pretty cheap. College students are notorious for being cheap and

I doubt this. The interstate project in US added a massive number of roads. Not just the interstate, but new tributaries. Those office parks and subdivisions have to hook up to stuff too.

"Always stay in the middle of the lane" Usually the middle is more slick from oil drips and contains more debris. That's why most people ride in one of the tire tracks from the cars.

Shop around for rates. Lawyers should be able to give you cost or cost range up front for drafting a document. Don't use AI. If it's a standard standard type of document with fairly low risk, you could look up templates specific t

We might be in a bull market. The question is for how long. I would guess less than a year considering the market-wide P/E.
