Calling Visa today for mine! I don't play those games, but I hate the precedent. It is not a payment processor's job to dictate what can and can't be done. (Now, I have worked FinTech for many years, there is a legit risk they are taking that the feds would blame them however -) it should be on the company selling the product itself, and any decent legal team at a payment processor would be able to handle it like a normal Tuesday.

Lol, I'd like to see Visa and MC buildings overrun by groups of multicoloured cartoony animals.
-
I feel like it took much less for them to make the decision to take it away than it is to just restore it...
-
So in other words, gamers are rising up?

Furries are also a part of the phoning campaign, I've seen it all over my bsky timeline. We're (the sane ones, not the 18 year old puritans) all pretty upset over it because it's pretty obvious this is yet another attempt to erase queerness online with the veneer of "protect kids" or whatever the fuck they're saying now.

Knowing the furries, we probably have agents in every one of those corporate data centers already. XD

I feel this situation is only going to get worse for everyone. We as consumers, gamers or otherwise, don't really have alternatives to this monopoly. At least that I am aware of. Typically if a company acts up we can just boycott it. But what other options do we even have here?

I've read through a few of these now, and I still can't figure out what the source/evidence is that has convinced people that visa and MasterCard are responsible for this. That seems to me like a pretty critical detail, but noone has mentioned it.

Duopoly, but yeah.

The literal rule change they made that caused this explicitly states you have to follow payment processor guidelines:
Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers.
They also basically cofirmed this was brought up by the payment processors.

Gamer furries
I mean, yeah, that’s definitely a part of them.
Furries have felt their entire identity targeted, even the sex stuff set aside. A bit like the drag queen attacks.

Should try selling artwork and then give away a copy of a game to customers. You can't sell the game so might as well include it as a gift.

Cash. Start using cash again.
