    Fucking self righteous fruitcakes (the finance companies, not Steam)

    Payment processors, if left on their own, would take any money from any person for any reason. This is more to do with a patchwork of laws that are trying to snuff out anything “adult” and will absolutely sweep up every party even remotely involved in the transaction.

    They’re covering their own ass. It’s cowardice, not righteousness.

      I feel like steam is big enough to push back on this?

      Like its frustrating when smaller operations get told what to do by visa and MC but steam is MASSIVE. They are not going to give up that revenue if steam says no

        Steam is nowhere near big enough to push back against this.

            They did the same thing with Patreon, they normally target incest or zoophilia(don’t know if they include furry on that one).

            Funny that Trump was saying shit about the Brazilian payment method, how is unfair to America or some shit. Maybe been dependent of American private payment processors is a bad idea.

              Valve should start its own payment processor.

                Well there was crypto but like everything it gets fucked by the greedy/nefarious the moment it’s worth something, though I suppose if it can get so corrupted so quickly then it was probably not the greatest solution to begin with

                    I knew this would happen. Payment processors did the same thing with firearm accessories, and now they’re doing this to adult content. I wonder what else they will try to ban? LGBTQ content?

                    They want that content to demoralize the chuds.

                      ::: spoiler Transcript nickyflowers: It would be cool if websites let you be an adult on them. The advertisers and payment processors need everything to be Family Friendly though their definitions of family and friendly are fucked. But since they’re in charge of the Internet now, no one is allowed to be an adult. TikTokers say things like “unalive” and “seggs” because they know death and sex are too adult for online. Online is for idiot babies only now because they’re easier to market to.

                      nickyflowers: Oh I’m sorry you’re a trans adult? Super ban. You are super banned for life. You have upset Visa’s feelings. Mastercard is throwing up in the corner. How could you do this to Google Ads? :::

                        Valve does, it’s the steam money market. It’s just not as big as current payment processors
