In Brief:

A ZOOM Platform employee told GamingOnLinux that a broader range of games, such as the Duke Nukem series, are “at risk” of being removed

The whole suddenly not allowed to sell porn games, and all these states and countries in acting id laws is just a precursor to censorship and blocking us from organizing against the super rich.

Hoping that the pushback will crush these new regulations, this really sucks for creative freedom and consumer choice.
