In a bold move that has sent shockwaves through the gaming journalism community, several writers from VICE’s gaming vertical, Waypoint, have resigned following the removal of articles by Ana Valens. The articles in question delved into how an anti-porn organization, Collective Shout, influenced Valve’s recent rule changes on Steam, granting payment processors significant power over content on the platform.
The removals were reportedly requested by VICE’s new owner, Savage Ventures, citing “controversial subject matter” rather than any journalistic complaints. This decision has sparked a debate about censorship and editorial independence in gaming journalism.
Ana Valens and her colleagues Shaun Cichacki and Matt Vatankhah have stepped down, highlighting a growing trend where media outlets are increasingly cautious about publishing content that might stir controversy or invite legal challenges.
