>So uh, what do you think? Is it even something worth seriously thinking about?
I am going to speak up here and reply to your post even though I have stayed quite unfamiliar/ignorant/disconnected towards this matter. In fact, I think that it´s been the first time in which I have heard about Game Jolt, considering that Steam and Epic own the industry in this regard (and retro shops like GOG) and I have lurked /v/ and gaming related sites for years and I haven´t really heard about this one.

Anyway, I am delivering a reply (but don´t consider me an authority) but I think that Bridgefag provides a much valuable perspective when it comes to these matters.

>As if it wasn't bad already, the worst thing is probably that they have again very loose definition of what counts as inappropriate.

when things don´t become specific enough and can be interpreted like that. If people decide to even play around with the gray areas of the law, then any private entity will also follow the same path without facing legal consequences (unless that the matter becomes too noticeable and some private entities/organizations decide to sue the site for preventing the diffusion of their content without breaking the rules).

Those loose terms will only repeat a mess that, while it doesn´t get as bad as Tumblr´s ban for NSFW content, we have seen that algorithms and placing explicit barriers against +18 affects collaterally towards material that is completely unrelated. Therefore, MLP has happened to become one of those collateral victims.

>I found out way too late about this and I think it should be already too late for most of the games, but good thing is that they should be saved by archive team already.

this is what matters the most. As long as there are copies that can be distributed later somewhere else that works as a replacement, this issue will be just temporal or even immediately fixed because of those digital copies. Just like it happened with Derpi´s drama, the creation of the altboorus just strengthened their existence because of a strong reaction against the arbitrary censorship. The best part is that there is enough time for setting up the backup and there are even posts on the /mlp/ thread that have reported that said downloads have guaranteed the existence of these games.

Now, about the question itself that you have wanted to raise here...
