Banning them from being sold entirely is the next step in this process and what we are headed for, it is the endgame of the people who behind this push.

If Google doesn’t desire to platform a product, they should have every right to exclude from their shop. It’s not like Google is working with other storefronts to make the game impossible to legally purchase.

Imagine if somebody start setting up political signs on your property or plastered posters in your privately owned store (in the hypothetical scenario where you own a store). Should you not be allowed to take down these posters? It should be within the business owners’ rights to do so IMO, no matter how big nor small.

Google had no problem hosting it before; the only thing that changed was that authoritarians pressured them to do so.

The people who are pushing this agenda of banning and censoring anything they deem immoral are lobbying every storefront to follow Google's lead, their goal is for it to be banned from sale everywhere, from Steam to Switch to Playstation. Google simply caved first.

They're also lobbying governments and politicians to ban them entirely under the guise of "think of the children". In my country many websites are already being blocked as part of this push.
