Payment Processor

They’re payment networks, not payment processors
Isn’t this misinformation?
-
They just missed very old news about how games that depict illegal activities do not really cause people to do illegal activities. Therefore they can't be illegal themselves.

Still itch.io deindexed all nsfw games
Edit: Okay so they now reindexed them.
Today, we are re-indexing free adult NSFW content. We are still in ongoing discussions with payment processors and will be re-introducing paid content slowly to ensure we can confidently support the widest range of creators in the long term.

sure is, fraud even

Plus, where do you draw the line?
Social media where users discuss illegal activities? Movies that depict illegal activities?
There are a lot of illegal activities in the bible. -

and stripe apparently plans to allow NSFW content in future, which is super promising.
I hope itch.io finds an alternative in the meantime though

So... that means they do ... what? Network the payments?

Would you rather they had shut down because nobody is able to pay them anymore? They complied with the demands for the time being because they have a business to run - and then they immediately started looking for a solution.

They provide the digital infrastructure to have payments and money flows
Payment processors are other companies which use payment networks to process said transactions. Then often have their own rules which are more strict than payment networks

And the difference that makes for me is what?

One of these moron payment companies is going to realize what's up sooner or later.
Patreon is for creators to do creative stuff professionally. Onlyfans tried to be the same thing. The only difference was they allowed NSFW stuff. Now guess which one pulls significantly more revenue?
If you become the payment processor for NSFW stuff, you can do whatever the hell you want and still be rolling in cash.

I wonder why the payment processors went on the backfoot.

Immediate and harsh criticism.

Shouldn't be their decision in the first place. Process the fucking payments, payment processors.

I don't know, every news story I read on this said "Mastercard and Visa". I don't see how whether they are technically considered "processors" or "networks" matters to me or the issue.

I’ll inform myself further on the subject but it sounds weird that visa and mastercard would ban those things. You’re able to purchase pornhub subscriptions with your visa/mastercard card (which can only go through the designated network on your card), so why wouldn’t you be able to purchase other type of adult games? So far all instances I’ve seen of banning have been from payment processors. Saw a post where a network said that they accept anything that’s legal

Surely they are being pressured by the governments, right?

I don't believe people fault itch.io or steam for what they did. You can be upset with an action and still understand why it was done. It's the same mental allowance you would give to someone if they agreed to cover your shift but the morning of their kid got sick and you had to come in anyway. Sure, you're upset but you also understand that someone would need to take care of their kid.
So we can be upset that NSFW games were delisted. But the other options would be them only getting paid through physically bought Steam and Itich.io gift cards.
