The censorship of 80+ games on Steam this week was apparently the work of Australian antiporn group Collective Shout, which partnered with US evangelicals to pressure Visa and Mastercard.
They claimed, without evidence, that the games involved child abuse.
Great work by @acvalens.net for VICE.

"The article was taken down "due to concerns about the controversial subject matter"
VICE's owner Savage Ventures has requested the removal of my Collective Shout articles. This is due to concerns about the controversial subject matter—not journalistic complaints
Effective immediately, I will no longer contribute to Waypoint. I suggest letting VICE's owner know if this upsets you
