  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.

    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?

        Probably, but I don’t know of any others in America and Mastercard is the one currently under fire

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

  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.
