I'll just copy and paste what I wrote elsewhere

I have to say since this whole anti porn in games thing has happened, I've ironically exposed myself to more porn games.

Before I wouldn't imagine playing porn games. Ever since the itch unban, I've tried a few games on itch.io to see what the fuss was about and got absolutely hooked on Queens Brothel - to the point where I've paid for the full version on Patreon.

If the Christian brothers and sisters at Collective Shout wanted less people exposed to porn games, lol. lmao even.

I had no clue these games even existed until this whole thing. Now I've seen far more porn games than I ever expected to be a thing.

There are infinite but imo all extremely mid, virtuamates pretty cool tho (or fked up depending on how you see things) because ppl make 3d models of celebs and you can mix it with anymocap, so its like gooner holodeck) but its ends up being a dressup posing game and I feel like im a kid playing my sisters barbie or whatever targeted at girl games and forget my original purpose. Like the sheer amount of addons out there is insane, you could do a full physics tv show in there if you really wanted.

Its not like superreal looking but at the right lighting/angle/facialexpression they kinda look like the ppl they're supposed to be. Weridly the most realistic looking models I saw being sold were of men like the rock looked 1:1.

I'm a sex adverse asexual. It has been more curiosity that they actually exist more than anything for me.

[-] dil@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

overall if you do end up using it, its prob to play the dressup game, actually using that game to jerk off is tedious, like might as well find vr porn and even thats tedious might as well just jerk off real quick and move on

It does feel like a precursor to insane sht in the future, think they added ai support

i looked into them as well and am disappointed to find that they are mostly visual novels

If it satisfies the payment processors to continue distributing these games so long as they're not purchased with their service, I feel it should also be fine to list non–free pornographic games that can only be purchased with BTC or Monero.

I just saw GoG announce https://freedomtobuy.games/ too

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 days ago

Heard about this earlier. The situation sucks, but at least this is better than nothing.

[-] Apathy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

If they make it free but adapt some content lock for further progress, which you can get by donating to dev? It would not be too bad, be better for the dev as no cut is taken by itch

[-] Asetru@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

So... Who processes the donation?

[-] Apathy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Any ethical website that is already a donation handler for content creators?

[-] chaospatterns@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

The problem is the payment processor. There's only so many of them that customers actually choose to use.

[-] Apathy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The problem cited by payment processor is dodged if the money is coming in as donations rather than payments, no?
