Visa/Mastercard told two major game distribution services to remove certain games, because a religious organization pressured them. Gamers are pissed.

Also kinda weird it was just these two platforms. Browsing through the Switch 2 store the other day, I saw a few porn games on there, too. One of which was literally about the "step sister stuck in the washing machine" meme.
It's Nintendo FFS; it's wild they even let such games on their store regardless of outside influence.
Incest.
Sorting by new on the eshop shows a surprising number of slop games.
Quite a contrast to the Nintendo Seal of Quality that is largely responsible for saving the video games industry after the crash in '82.
omg so much shovelware and cheapest porn
i expected that the Nintendo eShop would be more curated, but this is no better than other stores - no, it's even worse, because parents fully have the same expectation that i had before seeing that, and many will just hand a nintendo device over to the kid without checking.
and 70$ for cyberpunk 2077 - it's a new console, not a new game ffs.
I also can't tell if it's running on the device natively or if it's streamed. The store lists it as a "cloud version" and every single game with that label is something very new and with very high fidelity graphics that I can't believe run natively on the Switch 2.
Not sure where you're seeing cloud version, that's not showing up on my store. Regardless, cyberpunk runs natively
That's the point; the washing machine and the step brother are a metaphor for Nintendo, the step sister for their customers.
No, no, it's metaphorical criticism.
