SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

DriveThruRPG and more censorship

I prefer to support my local game store with orders instead of anyplace online (and direct from publishers otherwise).

I'd be more than happy to support my LFGS except for the fact that they don't sell pdfs (and I only ever buy digital).

If I need digital, I prefer going to the publisher directly. Cuts out the middleman so the content creators get more money to produce more content and no need to worry about the potential politics of any middleman either.

That would be preferable alright where possible but quite a lot of devs just outsource it to drivethru, etc.

Tillinghast's comment really ...resonates... here. I couldn't resist. All kidding aside, we all get frustrated with all the wokescold nonsense, hypocrisy, censorship and dishonesty. Let's show some grace: equal parts of empathy and restraint for one another. Later, as so many others have frequently suggested - we can win by maintaining positive control over our wallets when it comes to products produced and storefronts operated by those who hate us.
"The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles."

That, and in the past I have experienced instances when trying to buy from a publisher's site, either my browser or PayPal redlined warned me the transaction would not be secure, do you wish to continue.

That hardly breeds confidence.
