Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.

On the one hand, oh noz, the incest games. Who will live without the low effort AI goon crap?

On the other hand, why do the payment companies get to dictate what sales are made? It’s my fucking money, or my fucking store. It’s not the job of the payment processors to determine if I’m buying illegal goods, just that the money goes from me to the store.

Why shouldn’t the payment processors get a say in the payments they process? Illegal or not, why should they be forced to process payments that facilitate things against their beliefs?

Steam could pursue other payment processing possibilities instead of acquiescing to their demands.

In a world without regulation etc… maybe. Bottom line we’ve given payment processors power. Bottom line we need to buy things in the digital world, unless crypto can actually be stabilized or designed in a way that doesn’t require an unsustainable massive energy waste and polution to use.

There either needs to be a universal good as cash payment processor that anyone can easily use… or we need to force ones that exist to transfer payments without bias.
