> Acting as self appointed global censors. (Eg. not allowing adult games on Steam or Itch.io)

It seems extra illogical when you think of how much money they make from subscription adult websites, even brothels-in countries that have legal brothels, I think you’ll find many of them accept credit cards, and Visa and Mastercard don’t appear to have a problem with that

Yeah, it's almost like porn isn't the problem, it's crime and chargebacks.

All of those sites use high risk payment processors if they go through the major card networks.

  • I sincerely doubt that people are issuing chargebacks for Steam store purchases.

    • Our son kept on buying games using Steam and then getting refunds for them in order to buy another one instead

      I told him to stop, because I was worried that too many refunds might result in Valve taking action against the account

      Still, why bother with a chargeback when the vendor has a generous refund policy?
