Uhm. That would be quite a corrupt country. If they acutally ban something, the reason for the ban does not cease to exist, just because the devs pay some ransom.
But maybe you are using the word ban differently than me. Adults Only for example is not a ban. And Steam delisting something is also not a ban, at least not a government ban. A government ban would be for something that is against the law. And only that. Because the gov is all about law. If it does not concern laws, the gov has no say in it. You have to break a law with the game. And that is very hard to do, if it is hand drawn. Stuff has been taken down for copyright issues. Or there is a famous example with some nudity of real life women, but the woman in question was 17 at the time of filming. They used real images in the game. If you do that, you have all the problems with that, including privacy issues. Some games could be classified as hate speech, or be meant to incite real actions that are illegal. If you make a game showing how to kill your teacher at your school, that is the kind of stuff that the gov would be interested in.
But banning for content you deem bad ... nah. That is censorship. And what is bad changes with time and place. In some arabic countries they really do ban games containing homosexuality, but tbf, I think that is illegal irl there too. wich would bring me back to the gta game example of depicting illegal acts in general. it is a game, not a manual or instruction to replicate this.
So protecting impressionable minors from the "bad influence" , all good. Protecting adults, nah, that is censorship. On itch you have to explicitly click a button to see adult stuff.
