There are a couple of things to note about this episode. First, the news about Steam delisting adult games was brand new as we recorded this podcast, so we didn't have a lot of the information and nuance to the story to comment about it at length with the appropriate context. We will likely bring it up in the next podcast. Secondly, we intentionally did not dive into "Stop Killing Games" in this podcast because Court, in particular, wants to be part of the conversation, and it remains an ongoing story with more updates and details to follow.
