Steam suggests that ‘Payment Processors cited Mastercard Rules’.
Itch.io suggests that Visa specifically sent them a note, but more importantly that Stripe forbids sexual content.
We need to be smarter about this. We cannot just let random Twitter and Reddit outrage memes control us.
Fortunately, Visa and MasterCard have been assholes to a large number of international folks so I’m kinda okay with this? But the controversy this past month on these sexy games is poorly researched in general IMO.
We are seeing big tech (Reddit and Twitter) flex their muscles and see how easy they can attack other companies.

Porn has existing in mainstream media long before credit cards existed. I’m sure in the 1970s people were paying the the Cinemax channel or Playboy or buying magazines and VHS tapes with credit cards. Is their position that they are regressing to over 45 years in the past? Is that really their public take on this?
