Australian anti-porn lobby group Collective Shout pressured VISA/Mastercard/Paypal to force game stores like Steam and Itch to remove a bunch of NSFW games. Gamers and game devs are outraged (some losing their livelihood), demanding a global neutral payment system that is not intermediated and censoring based on arbitrary value systems. I read *a lot* of threads of people discussing this, and not a single one of them has even heard of rollups or stablecoins. They all hate crypto, they think it's volatile and slow and impossible to have consumer protections/escrow/chargebacks. To gamers and game developers, crypto is bitcoin and NFT scams that they can right-click save. Are we early? Are we failing to engage with an ecosystem who needs us? https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/itch-io-latest-in-platforms-pressured-by-credit-card-companies-as-well-as-activist-group-collective-shout-which-has-successfully-caught-an-award-winning-indie-and-more-in-the-crossfire/

Did @hyperplay ever take off? I bought a few games on it and played them for a while, but I'm not really much of a gamer. Seems perfect for the niche though.

Haven't even heard of it! Looks neat, any good games on there that are not web3ish?

Unsure. I was mostly in it for the NFT clickers 😄
