  To which mastercard responded

  I don’t think you read this properly. Mastercard didn’t respond at all.

    Of course they did.

    They just did so from behind a veil of plausible deniability.

      A lawyer for a processor like PayPal or Stripe could easily have gone "uh, the Mastercard contract clause prohibits this".

      And PayPal is well known for doing shitty things, so it wouldn't surprise me.

        Maybe.

        But Valve asked mastercard directly.

        A lack of a response is a also a response, in this case essentially an endorsement of whatever their partner was telling Valve.
