> _before_ the law gets involved

There's no law (as of now). If there was a law, Valve would happily de-list these things. For example, a recent custom map for Mount and Blade that was banned in South Korea: https://automaton-media.com/en/news/valve-cooperates-in-bann...

This is my entire point: Valve and Itch do not police their store fronts (Itch actually does, it won't allow any games it thinks are 'hatred' but other content is OK) and now the payment processors think the risk is too great.

I think one solution for Valve/Itch to continue with the 'no policing policy' is for governments to step in and say all video games needed classification like films do.

I think a few of these video games that are sold would be found to breaking some law if anyone cared to test it.

Steam's storefront is actually policed somewhat, their rules are simply not the same as the ones you want them to have.

> governments to step in and say all video games needed classification like films do.

Valve and (I believe) Itch are both US companies. In the US, films are not required to get a rating anymore.
