If you don't like the new ban wave on #itchio and #steam #nsfw games by #paymentproviders here are some things you can do! (Read the reddit post it has many great options!)
https://www.reddit.com/r/itchio/comments/1m83s71/things_you_can_do_to_counteract_payment/

In short :
- You can contact Visa, Mastercard & Paypal at the coordinates specified in the post
- If you live in the US, tell your congressman to support these bills https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/401https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/987
- File a complaint here later if there is no response https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/

The reddit post goes in more detail so I advise you to read it fully!

Boosts are apreciated to help spread the ways to counter this action! 

PSA for those who are in the #USA, there is currently a bill in congress to stop and reverse the abominable actions of #Visa and #Mastercard regarding their puritanical banning of #NSFWGames and the horrific enforcement of the rule

Even if you don't care about #NSFWGames, they will come for you next! A large chunk of #QueerGames have already vanished from #Itchio!

@mbybee @thelobdegg guess why?

• Becauce corporations like #Valve gave in to #blackmail by said #PaymentProviders!

And the only correct solution would've been to tell #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard & #PayPal to 'go fuck themselves'…

Oh, one more thing:

If you're happy about Steam removing specific games due to payment providers' demands because you consider the themes "icky":

1. They're coming for "your games" next when they decide they don't fit their "morals", don't worry. It's another one of those "I didn't speak up when..." situations

2. Fuck you

@energisch_ @mina @Nickiquote nah, I think restricting #cash is inherently facist, as there are already existing mechanisms re: #AML that make it redundant.

• As long as #cashless payments ain't as fast, cheap and convenient as cash they'll always be a secondary option.

Not to mention all the #discrimination based off (not having) #access to #PaymentProviders and #PaymentMethods.

• We can already see this with existing giants like #VISA, #MasterCard, #PayPal, #Venmo, #CashApp, #AliPay, #WeChatPay and #SOFORT / #Klarna...
  

There's a reason why #SMSpayment and #Monero are the only ones globally rising as they are fast, convenient and universal, but even they don't replace cash in it's universality.

• Plus having cash on hand is a good thing for #negotiations espechally on #UsedGoods like #cars and #coimputers...

@bhawthorne @mhoye yeah, but you'd have the same issue with a credit card terminal and payment provider: Needing to hope you don't end up wuth #scammers and #fraudsters like #wirecard..

Also #PaymentProcessors are way more expensive and even if you don't want to deal with exchanging #Monero  yourself, there are #PaymentProviders that do offer you to direcrpy convert that and take all the risks at the same rares, so there's that...

#Epic lost their anti-trust appeal at circuit court. So #Apple #AppStore and #GooglePlay terms of service which ban #donations and third party #PaymentProviders other than #GooglePay and #ApplePay on #iOS and #Android are still a thing. We'll have to wait and see if Epic is taking this supreme court.
