Currently, only GOG and Itch are still selling this game.
EDIT: It seems the game has returned to Humble Bundle.

You know slippery slope is a fallacy right? The “slippery slope” can also stop anywhere.
I regret my short hand of “slippery slope” but it’s not a coincidence that less than 6 months ago payment processors used their influence to get a game pulled from steam and now all of a sudden steam is self censoring based on content.
Whatever the non-fallacious version of “there’s an escalating pattern here” is what’s happening.

Except this particular ban happened in 2023, way before the paypros got in the scene.

Do the other stores hosting the game have the same payment processors?
Let’s finish our conversation about steam before we set up a goal post move.
You claimed Steam banned this because of the payment processors. The same payment processors being used by stores that didn’t ban this. Seems a relevant point to the discussion we are having.
I’M not claiming steam pulled it due to pressure from payment processors, VALVE reported it. You’d know that if you read the article I posted.
If you want to participate in the discussion you have to do the reading.
The article from July explains why Steam banned this game last month, despite Itch (which stopped selling certain games due to the payment processors) is selling it?
Who is this article writer that can see 4 months into the future?!
