MasterCard lied? No they would never
Anyway, thanks MasterCard for introducing me to porn games a few weeks ago
There was an entire subreddit devoted to porn games but it’s not made it over to Lemmy.
Maybe once I get laid off I’ll start a community
If it was about money, MasterVisa would have already given up. There are people who claim that MasterVisa bent the knee to Collective Shout for the sake of money, yet when a much bigger demographic speaks, MasterVisa tries to ignore it.
This is about the power to shape society.
The fact that multi-millionaires are doing to most heinous shit with their money and getting a way with it, meanwhile me, a wage slave, has a payment processor telling me what I’m allowed to do with my money, society is built on tiers.
You can’t control what we jack off to, Mastercard.
I don’t think they care what you jack off to, bud. That’s a weird way to frame it.
Clearly you haven’t been paying attention over the last couple of weeks because that’s exactly what they’re doing.
Ana Valens recently resigned from Vice following an article about the censorship of games. On social media, she shared communication between Mastercard and Riot Games.
Looks like Vice can’t be trusted as a reliable source of information if they’re willing to fire journalists after a little outside pressure is put on them.
How well are Visa Debit or Mastercard Debit as an alternative for paying online?
That wouldn’t make any meaningful impact. They still get the processing fees from the vendor.
But they’re much cheaper on fees than non-debit MasterCard and Visas?
Looks as if Visa Debit has about the same and slightly less fees than Visa Credit Cards.

Looks like buying physical gift cards is the way to go…
Man I just wish there were better alternatives to MasterCard and Visa.
Isn’t Stripe one of the growing alternatives?
Stripe bans even more stuff https://stripe.com/en-de/legal/restricted-businesses , recently they banned payments for online dating platforms in the US.
Yeah, Stripe is the reason itch.io had to pull all paid NSFW games.
However, it isn’t exactly their fault, either:
We spoke with Stripe yesterday about their content policies. They confirmed that they will not be able to support adult content that fits the following definition: “content designed for sexual gratification.” Stripe asked us to pass along the following message to our users:
“Stripe is currently unable to support sexually explicit content due to restrictions placed on them by their banking partners, despite card networks generally supporting adult content (with the appropriate registrations). Stripe has indicated that they hope to be able to support adult content in the future.”
This is why it’s so hard to fight this, every company blames another one but never by name, I’m sure it’s by design
