Steam Users Are Banding Together To Contact Visa Over Removal Of Adult Games

Visa reason is so stupid like what they have done this to gamers on first place , let gamers alone and we do not need you to see games and took away our access to it
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Visa or any other payment processor shouldn’t be the ones deciding what people can or can’t buy. That should be up to the government, not a private company. They don’t get to decide what’s “immoral”. If you want something taken down, talk to your local congressman, not some corporation.
I don’t like all the adult content popping up on Steam, but just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean it should be banned. If it’s not hurting anyone, let people be. If we go down that road, we might as well ban gore movies and other similar stuff too.
tl;dr gamers cry out and payment companies tell gamers that they are above them. Welcome to the rise of late-game capitalism and the furthering of classism.
Though realistically, what are you going to do? Those that do care are a minority of an already fragmented society and most countries don’t have any real alternatives to move to. Hell, most consumers struggle to even move at all as their banks dictate who their cards are tied to and general consumer literally don’t care as they just want a card that takes payments. What company is on the card has no impact on their lives.
You can downvote all you like yet at the end of the day you know I’m right. Unless you’re willing to risk your lives to solve the real problems facing your country then you won’t change anything and may as well strap in to be fed whatever scraps the elite may fling your way. Just remember that rallying up individuals to fight your cause won’t be easy as humans prefer the path of least resistance and not doing anything is a very easy task to accomplish.
Cancel your Visa and Mastercard credit card and use other payment method if it’s available in your country.
As long as these payment processes keep offering the ability to pay for porn, punishing gamers doesn’t make any sense at all. Complete and utter bullshit.
We’re pretty cucked when we got basically only Visa and Mastercard. It took us the Russian invasion of Ukraine, so as late as 2022, for the EU to start working on their own payment system once they realized Visa and Mastercard could just cut them out as easily as they cut out Russia
But I enjoy adult games sometimes. It’s a change of pace and I’m an adult.
I saw NSFW games on steam last night are they only removed for certain countries?
Is there any statement for it from European Union? Cause it does seem to touch laws.
Never bought a nsfw game on steam, never even got an ad or suggestion for on in my discovery queues.
But it is still bullshit and outrageous that those shitheads basically listened to a bunch of hypocrites…
I have one guy in my friends list who exclusively plays gooner games, i mean hundreds in his library, and the outlier was Dark Souls 3 where I invaded him and ended up clapping invaders together.
He must be devastated.
I mean visa and Mastercard shouldn’t be able to dictate what you buy and while I don’t personally indulge in adult games I find most of them look shit anyways its not for them to decide.
The games that got removed are trash, but having payment companies deciding what is ok and what is not ok is bizarre… what’s next??
It’s not good that a private company gets to decide what people can do, but less nsfw content is a good thing. I fully support that aspect of it.
Horny mfers need to go touch some grass
Idk if it is a dumb question. But on the other note, meaning to say Visa and Mastercard can read your purchase history and decide whether they will go through with my purchase (e.g. sex toy, doll)?
Valve should start only taking payments in cryptocurrency, that will fix this almost immediately.
Governments should not decide what consumers (who are adults) can and cannot purchase.
