Joining a chorus of enraged voices, Peak and Another Crab's Treasure developer Aggro Crab says "puritan" groups like Collective Shout – the Australian org behind the recent wave of Steam and Itch.io game takedowns and de-indexing – or payment processors cannot be allowed to influence what games are sold or how.

"Steam and Itch are being threatened by an anti-NSFW group in order to force them to remove any content they deem distasteful by petitioning Visa and MasterCard, who are threatening these gaming platforms to cut payment access if they do not remove the games," the studio says in a Twitter thread.
