Keep in mind that this started because of a small telecall campaign by said Australian fringe group.

What? No.

Visa/Mastercard have been doing this shit for literally years. Then some small Australian fringe group knew they had allies in Visa/Mastercard to ban some porn so they emailed Visa/Mastercard.

As I noted, that guarantees financial death for the impacted game devs.

The warnings were literally years ago. Pretending that Visa/Mastercard are allies or even neutral on this issue is naive.

Visa/Mastercard have been pushing Sony and other video games to be less sexy for several years now.

I don't expect Visa/Mastercard to cave on anything here. They've already made themselves a reputation on the more prudish side of things.
