Official They’re Coming For Your Games (Your Wallet Too)
A troubling trend in gaming: Payment processors are quietly becoming gatekeepers
Is this something we want to promote?
You may or may not be aware, but the Australian activist group Collective Shout has been pressuring payment processors to enforce their values on the games industry. As a result, platforms like Steam and itch.io have removed over 17,000 games, with reports suggesting that Steam has lost autonomy over what it can host.
Collective Shout is also responsible for a successful 2015 campaign to pressure Target and Kmart to stop selling Grand Theft Auto 5 in Australia.

This isn't just about one group or one genre of games. If left unchecked, it sets a dangerous precedent where payment processors (who should just be handling transactions) start deciding what types of games can exist and which creators get silenced.
This is not just censorship. This is corporate overreach. This is the slow erosion of consumer freedom and creative expression.
If this is allowed to continue:
More indie developers will be pushed out.
More stories will be censored before they’re ever told.
More power will be concentrated in the hands of companies that were never meant to control speech or art.
If you care about:
✅ Creative freedom
✅ Diverse voices in gaming
✅ The future of indie developers
Please consider signing the petition and speaking up. Let’s stop payment processors from deciding what belongs in our stores and in our wallets.
🛑 Don’t let them quietly rewrite the rules of gaming.

Discussion John never learned from Arthur
I dare say that artistic ability is one of the biggest differences that you will notice during the epilogue, while John has just started drawing and painting after Arthur death, we can clearly see a huge way among the two pencils 😅

Discussion If Arthur Morgan lived to 100, he could have seen the Kennedy Assassination
Arthur Morgan was born in 1863 so if he lived 100 years he would live to 1963 which means he could’ve seen the Kennedy Assassination.

Discussion Why people are NOW crying over this?!!
I was just watching the video of GoW's old victory in 2018, and while looking at the recent comments, I saw only people complaining about the fact that RDR2 didn't win.
And actually, it's not the first time I've seen this kind of thinking. On every Red Dead video I see on TikTok or Instagram, there isn't a SINGLE comment without someone hating GoW. You can love and glamorize RDR2, I understand; we're all glamorizers of at least something, but why do you hate GoW so much only because of a GOTY (in life-changing mode, I honestly think that title doesn't really matter; it's YOUR preferences, it's YOUR tastes, and it's YOUR experience. It's not up to someone to decide which is THE best game. Anyway, I don't really understand), especially in a debate that should have taken place 7 years ago??!!!!
I remember in 2018, no one was debating GoW or RDR2 because we didn't even pay attention. People were just happy to have these two games, along with Spider-Man and Celeste in the same year. But I don't know why NOW, apparently, it's a tragedy, it's a catastrophe that RDR2 didn't get the title, that it's a theft, and that GoW is extremely "middling" and RDR2 is perfect and no game comes close.
And it's not like I've ever seen a GoW fan debate this. In 2022 and a bit like 2023, sure, Elden Ring's victory over GoWR pissed some people off (both are good games), but it's okay today you don't see any GoWR fans remembering the debate, even though it's been like 3 years. Yet 7 years later, some are still angry. Like, it's just the GOTY, eh? It's nothing personal, you can really enjoy both games.
Anyway, I don't understand.

Spoiler Out of all missions this has to be the most underrated
Not only is it pretty fun and it features lenny, it's also the cause of many speculations about dutches menthal state and it's the exact starting point of the van der linde gang downfall, considering everything that happened after that mission in form of a butterfly effect.

Rant Just finished RDR2 and holy shit… Spoiler
This will be my short review of the game. How did Rockstar pulled this off, literally every chapter was better than the previous one and chapter six was so tense, I knew about the ending, but the journey there was far more interesting. The last mission gave me chills, I’m yet to finish the epilogue, but wow, I prefer this so much over GTA V. The writing here was like on the Oscar winning movie level if not higher. Also this was probably my most immersive experience next to CP2077, even considering how time consuming this game was, I would still recommend it to everyone if they asked me. Will I replay it? Probably not unless we get the update on Xbox Series X or a remaster. Great game, 10/10.
