Dark and Darker was killed again by Nexon. The company fought IRONMACE for some time and apparently won.

Vice President of the European Parliament Nicolae ȘtefΔƒnuΘ›Δƒ has signed the petition for Stop Killing Games

β€œI stand with the people who started this citizen initiative. I signed and will continue to help them. A game, once sold, belongs to the customer, not the company.”

If you are a UK resident, you may sign the petition to take down "Safety act" that in its current form will cut the country from tens of thousands of websites:

β€’ Any interactive website has to make ID system to verify age (either a huge upfront investment to make one or ~$1.5 per visitor from commercial solutions).
β€’ The legal relief budget government expects is way over the whole monthly budget for the majority of websites.
β€’ There are huge fines and other legal actions against website owners.

Holy crap: thanks to Collective Shout, Steam lost PayPal support in many regions!

If you forgot the story: 8 Aussie and radical Catholic mums attacked Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal so they will stop selling any adult games or games they generally don't like. Under false accusations they tried to make it look like those games are illegal (but they don't). They even tried to delist Detroit Become Human only because one of them didn't like the game.

And they partially succeeded with tens of thousands of games got delisted from Steam, Itchio and GOG.

Europe approved Chat Control 2.0 (Light), so it's closer to what the UK did a few months ago.

Instead of a backdoor with 24/7 spying for everyone, they have 24/7 backdoor now to spy on everyone, and that's a big difference! They kinda spy on you occasionally, not all the time.

And provide everyone your ID, of course, β€œto protect children”. Feeling safe, right?

Tencent spent years, negotiating the possible Horizons Online. Sony clearly said no, but Tencent already wasted millions on the production and announced it as Light of Motiram.

Now, after several months in court, the game is officially delisted and the case is settled. But they will not tell us how exactly.
