Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?
Would be fun if steam hid those from anyone who used those specific payment processors while still showing them to people who used alternative options - and then people started to disable those processors due to it.
Either way, Mastercard and Visa can’t see direct purchase details, they rely on user reports to tell which services are “unsafe” by their “standards”. We need to actually spam them with complaints, that’s the only way they’ll rollback on this.
