Those payment processors can just look at the store and see that it sells smut. Those payment processors do their own due diligence.
Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.

Money laundering and anti terrorism laws would be my guess.

Because many "players" are refunding after a fap, which is logged and reviewed. Also, suspicious or new transactions are often flagged and reviewed. So a lot of such side content is being pushed in front of the banks and payment processors by horny clients who unwittingly expose their kinks.

If a large number of refunds came from a single source it seems like Steam would be the one addressing the issue, not payment processors.

The post nut clarity of realizing that buying that porn game was not such a great idea

Seem like an easy solution would be to have certain transactions be nonrefundable.
I say easy, but I guess it would involve quite a bit of software changes, and then you’d also have to deal with angry customers who ignored numerous warnings that a purchase would be final.

That’s even less consumer friendly. If you purchase a game and it turns out to be shovelware that barely works and has a bunch of gamed reviews on the store page? Oh too bad sap, you got conned this is non-refundable.
Consumers had to fight for games that do refundable, I don’t think we should be quick to consider loopholes.
