    The alternative is to stop doing business in places where laws are being used to restrict the games available.

    Incorrect. You are completely ignoring what those restrictions are.

    I detailed my thoughts and arguments, feel free to address those directly.

    if you want to ignore most of the reply to argue against a stance i wasn’t taking there’s not much of a conversation to be had here.

      There was the whole thing about payment processors raising a stink because of Steam, which is comparable and I have no evidence Dementia Don simps were not somehow involved, since this was started via some republican christofascist Karen association. But even if that does not suffice it for you, I’m not wondering about to the present situation, I’m wondering about the situation of when (not if) it happens in the future.

            That was done by Australians and had nothing to do with the US government. Stick to the facts.

                “Non-traditional”? Homosexuality has been around and recorded since the Romans and even prior. 2000+ years isn’t traditional? That’s just as long as Christianity.

                          So what you are essentially saying is that you want to persecute LGBT people.

                            Clearly not if you think said “sexual deviance” should have its culture shuttered by state force.

                              Russia issued a lot of legal requirements that don’t make sense. For example they at some point asked more money than we have on the planet, from Google.

                              Complying with the law on a territory not controlled by sensible human beings should be considered questionable at the very least.

                                    There’s no misinterpretation. You openly support the state banning LGBT expression. That’s a form of persecution.

                                    If the government demanded that Christian-themed games be banned, that would be persecution to Christians. This is no different.

                                    Why shouldn’t a Solitaire game be allowed to have LGBT skins or themes?
