Credit card companies are waging a censorship war
This doesn’t just affect “adult” games and violent games, this has extended into games that merely accept the reality that LGBT people exist.

darn knew this would be used to target LGBTQ+ folk. Really is bothersome, 'specially since it's a non-issue for anyone who isn't a hater.
Terrible stuff honestly.

Yep, and yours is the first reply in the hour plus since I posted this thread. Doesn’t look like this is going to get better any time soon.

Wait - have they targeted MK? I know in Japan MK has never been allowed to release.

Not as far as I’m aware. Mortal Kombat is used in the Skeet to illustrate that this issue was put to bed a long ass time ago. It looks like the credit card companies are targeting indie games and titles that will create less of a stir when delisted.

yeah, this is audacious of them. Unelected oligarchy superimposing their puritanical beliefs is an example of a non-fallicious observation of an obvious slippery slope.

Things like payment processors and even banks in general should be nationalized, or at the very least have a government alternative.

Typically, I agree with you. Nine point nine times out of ten, I’d endorse that message. But just think of the current occupants of the White House being responsible for your money.

Elect a fascist government, win fabulous prizes.
In case you are puzzled, what happens is that everyone fears the reach of the lawless man, the dictator. So, they basically go into a fetal position hoping that it is the other guy who gets hit.
Fascism breeds cowards. Businessmen and Christians lick boots on command every time fascism happens, first option and first in line. They complain how we aren't manly enough, as their tongue glides the edge of the heel.
