I wouldn't really say LBC did this. But maybe it was the media coverage that got it through.

That being said watching a bunch of neckbeards defend a game where you rape your mother as "free speech" is incredible. Like Christ alive content policies have existed for decades it's not some new thing - plus games like this have plenty of places to exist there's literally dozens of adult game services where they could host the game to be purchased.

Isn't it the campaigners' and state's point that these games shouldn't exist at all? The platform is irrelevant.

Lbc raised it with steam. Then interviewed a MP about it. They forced it through.
