Itch.io just banned lgbt content at the reauest of payment providers. It is now, short of finding them and handing them food, impossible to pay the last group of artists i was giving money to, because the mechanisms of payment have decided they cannot be paid.
But I still want the stuff they’ve made, their back catalogues, etc.
Why don’t all the companies tell the payment processors to pound sand? Do the processors not want to collect service fees? These dipshits have been going after adult content for ages, and it’s fucking pathetic.
Payment processors are monopolies for online and electronic payments because there is no global infrastructure (outside Chinese offerings) for electronic payments that don’t rely on Visa and Mastercard.
The payment processors are far, far bigger that a few online game stores. Even Steam isn’t big enough to change their minds alone.
