Looks like Japanese social media is also keeping close tabs on the Collective Shout mess. And if you're reading this, yes. That's pretty much accurate.

Note this isn't about them demanding stores remove content, but about the extortion they exert on their payment processing pipelines to stifle other payment options.

I feel some Australian conservative group getting control over a large portion of the internet in a matter of days should be illegal, but payment providers are also conservative assholes and there are no global alternatives other than crypto.

Same problem, different times. Almost like a reskin.

Nintendo is indeed able to force game updates via system firmware. We came across another example. Physical Pikmin 3 can be booted and seemingly played on firmware 20.1.0, but was blocked from working off card with 20.1.1. as we initially reported here: patreon.com/posts/massive-…

Nintendo crossed a line. Our findings show, they have the power to retroactively block legally bought physical games from working without updates AND THEY DID SO! Multiple times. Following the introduction of Trojan Horse "game-key card", this is another attack on physical media.

Imagine if old movies and books got erased from history to encourage consumers to buy new ones. Well, it's happening in gaming. If you live in the European Union, consider signing this: eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/s…

This sucks. Not only is it basically censorship, but it also opens the door for these platforms to label anything as unsafe or NSFW and remove it entirely. Horror games often walk that line with their themes and aesthetics. What if they’re next?

I never expected Penny Arcade to have a comic on SKG! I like the notes even more: "What we've been conditioned to believe is normal simply isn't. The purpose of the campaign is to give you what you already own. It's a bizarre state of affairs." penny-arcade.com/comic/2025/07/…

I've been asked about the steam/itch censorship situation. If a company removes a bought game from customers with no notice + a way to back it up, that's exactly the situation that would be covered under SKG. SKG would not stop delistings though, that's 1000x harder legally.
