Steam had already shown its true face, itch.io and GOG are fighting censorship alone. (reddthat.com)

Boycott Steam.

They were not even willing to fight back with the power of 5% of their annual revenue.

Blaming the wrong people. Blame Collective Shout and Stripe

Wrong people, again. Although harassing conservative puritans is always a plus in my book. The real issue is visa and MasterCard, which steam could absolutely fuck over btw.

No YOU have the wrong people. Visa and Mastercard have nothing to do with it.

E: if anyone wants to explain why I'm being downvoted, even after providing proof, please feel free.

They're the ones refusing payment.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No they're not.

[–] shani66@ani.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes they are.

Okay, I'm sure you know better than the companies that are being subjected to these terms and removing games.

The situation is evolving as we await final determinations from our current payment processors, Stripe and PayPal

And in fact, Mastercard themselves

Mastercard has not evaluated any game or required restrictions of any activity on game creator sites and platforms, contrary to media reports and allegations.
