Don’t they have shareholders though?

If they do, that includes them. Decision makers at all levels, nobody gets to say "hey I didn't make Mastercard act this way." Because the status quo would have been to carry on processing video game payments, even in the face of a minority faction like Collective Shout.

You’d expect them to put profits above this kind of petty consideration. That would only be valid if the company was owned by a fairly small group.
