Payment Processor

Given the show this meme is taken from, I can't tell if the quote itself is unaltered or not.
Drive the bus, bus driver

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.
Yeah and those stories are wrong
Processors = Stripe, PayPal, and offline the companies that install card terminals in shops
Networks = Mastercard, Visa
The processors told itch and Steam to deindex those games. The processors claim that they have to do this due to contracts with the networks, but Mastercard currently denies this
-
Buying from steam I currently have the option of Mastercard or visa. They don't accept the other ways I have, and it's difficult for me to get the ones they accept.
As I understand it they are both doing it in coordination.
You can buy steam store credit directly
-
I use my local bank for that.
Banks and payment processors are not the same thing though.

in this administration?
good luck....
Might dust off Taft-Hartley to bust some unions though
-
I want Visa and MC to show us a time they were prosecuted by the government for processing a payment they shouldn't have.
-

And yet I can pay directly from my bank account in the steam store.

Can you boycott visa/mastercard when paying at steam or do most methods just end up using them anyway?

Run the payment through PayPal direct to your bank account.
Alternatively, you could add the funds directly to your steam wallet using your regular card and say "Fuck you, you can't even stop me!" to them.

Let's be clear though
The payment processors did the blocking but the requests came from some religious group that wants the entire world to be as miserable as they are.
Fuck all religions and fuck them for always wanting their claws in everything to try and control everything and everyone

Appeasing rambling cults is not acceptable.

Visa and Mastercard operate worldwide and as far as I know many games got blocked in other countries too right? Because that would mean a lot of countries could be having anti trust investigations.

I’ve wondered if a good boycott method would be starting a different credit card - IF any of them have made statements about foregoing censorship. But I could be corrected if it turns out others like Discover end up going through V/MC systems somehow.

But then you support PayPal.
