    Interesting point but… what else can we do? Mail the dev cash? PayPal direct from bank? CRYPTO. I completely forgot about crypto because of all the shady bullshit. But we buy crypto with… Mastercard. Shit.

      Crypto might be a good thing overall if it wasn’t infested with tech bro’s and other scum

      I mean a reasonable solution would be to just move to a different bank that provides Visa instead of MasterCard

        Is visa not also part of the problem?

    The flip side of this coin is, we also get what we want. Devs get paid, and we get games.

    I’m not saying it’s ideal, and I understand your point…but it’s better than not paying. This is just a typical transaction with extra steps.

  Good job paying Mastercard with your rebellion dollars.

  Me too fuck them. Maybe we can make this a trend start selling games direct and stop using Steam and Epic etc platforms. Do it how they did back during the old days as shareware.

  MasterCard would allow this!?! Wow, this reflects so badly upon them!
