@transworld The #Cowardice of #Platforms to not even implement #AlternativePaymentMethods like #Monero is a problem.

Needless to say bowing before the #cartel of #CreditCard systems is a #ConditionlessSurrender!

💰 Riot Games reportedly blocking fan criticism of its sponsor Mastercard (MC).

🕵🏽 MC "kindly asked" Riot moderators to flag "anything unusual" regarding comments about MC during recent eSports streams.

MC is blamed by many for current efforts to remove NSFW (i.e. adult) games from Steam & itchio.

The ongoing purge is overbroad. It has affected non-adult games.

👉🏽 Ironically, two of our NGO's educational games about #consent were de-indexed by itchio.

🏳️‍🌈 Creators of LGBTQ+ content, and other marginalized folk, are rightly concerned.

Sports Illustrated · Riot Games Accused of Blocking Mastercard Discourse in VCT ChatBy Cale Michael

North Korea and the United States both control what you can buy.

I’m not talking about anything illegal — that would at least be understandable.

No, even something as simple as a video game can now be denied in the United States, thanks to Visa and Mastercard.

In North Korea, your money and debt can only be used on whatever someone else decides you’re allowed to spend it on.

@heiseonline so wie ich das mitbekommen habe, waren die Inhalte ja eher fraglich und ich finde es im ersten Impuls jetzt nicht weiter schlimm.

Wenn ich länger drüber nachdenke, dann allerdings wird es schwieriger, da es ja auch andere Medien gibt in denen ebenfalls vergleichsweise fragliche Inhalte vorkommen - ganz gleich ob jetzt Bücher, Bilder oder Filme oder Musik.
Ich glaube ich finde es doch nicht gut, dass MasterCard darüber entscheiden darf...

Walking down Waterworks Road, Ashgrove (near Meat@Billys butcher), we stumbled on someone's RemServ wallet card; issued to a Mr. Ford.

Tried ringing the 1300 number on the back, pressed 1 for lost/stolen cards, and got told the number isn't active. Tried again for general inquiries, got told to ring back during office hours. Typical #MasterCard

If that's yours, we're taking it to Ferny Grove police. They may be in touch with you. #LostProperty #AshgroveQld #Brisbane

Update: issuer contacted, card destroyed at the advice of their call centre staff. The owner will be contacted and issued a new card.

Right now you can unlock thirteen adult games for free as part of GOG's Freedom To Buy campaign.

There shouldn't be a morality police. One thing is to create illegal content, other is to create adult games and be able to sell them to adults. Credit card companies shouldn't be a "morality police", deciding what is published or not just because the money goes, due to their sheer size, almost always through them.

#GOG being based as fuck. A few games that are at risk of being disappeared are free to claim for a while to make sure they don't silently vanish.

Seems like CD Project Red positions themselves against Visa, Mastercard and the current wave of right-wing puritanism. Hope they won't get cut off from credit cards and Paypal due to this…

“Mastercard Responds To Censorship Allegations After Forcing Storefronts To Remove Adult Games”

“Adult games--and games with #AdultThemes--have been #delisted from #digital game sales portals #Steam and #Itchio recently, following pressure from companies that process those platforms' payments to remove them.

After an extended period of silence on the matter, #Mastercard has released a statement and says that its recent actions are based on the "rule of law" and aren't an attempt to enforce #censorship.”

@emilyyoung @Natanox @R0B0_G0D the real messy part is that #VISA & #MasterCard are a bunch of shitty hipocrites.

Once said CCs cancel their pseudonymus #AVS option merely using CC numbers and/or refuse to process payments for pr0n they gonna bite the dust.

I'd say let the christofacist reactionaries "choke" on their egos and let that be a warning sign against criminalizing what adults do consensually…
