Petition against payment processors who forced Steam games ban roars past 140,000 signatures

change.org is worthless call the CC companies directly
Imagine if you could do 2 separate 5-minute tasks to pressure giant corporations.

It would be nice if companies accepted regional payment options, for example, Canada has Interac e-transfer to easily transfer funds from one bank account to another, local businesses in Canada have offered this as an option for payment but anything international it’s either PayPal or CC.
Interac E-transfer is so simple to use and definitely beats having to use third-party apps like Venmo and CashApp.
It makes no sense for any country to give American companies money for the pleasure of processing their own internal payments.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Someone who isn't Visa or MasterCard, like Discover or American Express. I myself will be getting a Discover card if this doesn't resolve soon, and have said as much to Visa.

Pretty sure that's American Express.

Thats fair. I mostly agree but I dont have any good arguments to defend porn games themselves. Seems to depend on whether someone views porn positively or not.
For context, I've never played a porn game nor do I have any interest in doing so. As others have said, it sets a very dangerous precedent for censorship via payment processors.

This isn't about porn games. It's about payment processors deciding what we can and can't buy. That's not their business.
Its literally their business who they do business with.

PayPal is part of the problem though. They too have forced Patreon back in the day to clamp down on certain stuff. That's one of the reasons why SubscribeStar got bigger.
That’s bad, but they aren’t part of this recent censorship. If you demand a perfect solution you will be disappointed. Let’s be pragmatic. Let’s force these companies to compete for our patronage.

Basically. He spoke out against the Stop Killing Games movement, saying it wouldn’t be feasible for companies to support games in perpetuity… Which wasn’t the point of SKG. But PirateSoftware has a massive following and has the classic reddit “if I sound well-informed and speak with confidence, it doesn’t matter if I’m correct” mentality. It was many people’s first time hearing about SKG, so the confident misinformation turned a lot of his followers away from the movement.
Sheeesh Talk about a brain washed guy who worked at blizzard

Do you have to somehow enable them? There is a common standard for paying directly from your online bank here in Finland, but Steam doesn't seem to support it.
Might depend on the market. The Finnish market is not even a third of the Dutch market, so perhaps it's just a business decision whether they support it or not. They do support iDEAL without needing to enable anything.
