Due to a controversy, the Collective Shout group has imposed rules on payment processors and Steam. We agree on some points, but removing games that only feature women and anime-style Wifus without first checking whether they had violations was very abrupt. This isn't anyone's fault; Valve doesn't want to tarnish their reputation. We at Light BOOM!!! wish Valve and other indie developers the best as professionals.
For my part, I don't have a position. We feel it's a strong movement and a big problem for us developers. Valve's inconsistencies on the platform may vary from game to game. I understand that there are groups that want to maintain a positive image of women. I know, but this isn't the way to do it. Yes, I'm against games that promote child and animal abuse. But it's no reason to randomly take down games. Valve is doing what it can; I, for one, will avoid problems and follow their new rules for contributing to the store. There will be no more female characters. I hope Valve gets the chance to do something and improve the system a little more.
I'm not really upset, but I am scared. Things like this could end the gaming world :(
