VISA/Mastercard are currently strong-arming digital stores like Steam and Itch into banning adult games so they can fulfill the dogma of their anti-porn christcuck CEOs. Unless they start exclusively taking payments in crypto, they're fucked and are forced to follow whatever marching orders they shit out.

Since crypto quite literally solves this issue since no one entity can stop its usage, one can make a crypto-only digital store and explicitly allow porn on it, avoiding payment processor fuckery and making millions from gamers and gooners alike. Will YOU be the first to do it?

The real question is does gaben have enough capital in his warchest to arbitrage crypto payments seemlessly and to develop their own private cex to perform this?

How much bitcoin is required to even start building your own private exchange?

Why doesnโ€™t Gaben just make his own bank/credit card

I would think it'd be very easy for steam to allow USDC payments, but far as I know gabe newell doesn't like crypto, so doubt it will happen.

You see alot of countries have tried this, then there's a civil war or assassination and suddenly they're using the same old system again... really strange how that always works out...

Yes. The only concern is that eventually stablecoins will get just as cucked by off ramp controls with permissioned DID requirement.

Wrong retard.
The first movers are activist groups and NGOs like NCOSE, Enough Is Enough and Morality in Media, which put pressure on them. Besides them it's journalists and politicians which threaten and pressure not just visa/mastercard, but also the regulating body.
This wouldn't be a problem if visa/mastercard didn't have a monopology on the payment system, but this is a controlled industry, attempts have been made, and anyone trying to compete gets drowned out by regulatory hurdles, compliance infrastructure, licenses, basically all out financial warfare by a combination of the private and public sector around the world. It doesn't help that they're also used as a geopolitical tool to enforce sanctions, since it puts control of them at a high priority to achieve the goals set forth as part of a larger national strategy.

Crypto integrating into the financial system could make it possible to pay without visa/mastercard, but governments don't want this, they'll have control one way or another. And unless it reaches critical mass storefronts will still cater to the largest market. There's room for smaller storefronts if that happens, but they will seek more powers and eventually it be just as controlled (if not immediately after integration).
Of course this is all a moving target, once you have a payment rail for rape simulator 2000, these gay activist groups will target them next. The real solutions is to remove government control of money, which realistically will probably never happen, or figure out where these groups get their funding and turn off the tap, or get funding for your own activist groups to lobby/pressure regulators to prioritize freedom over censorship.

>Will YOU be the first to do it?
Plenty of solutions exist for crypto digital stores, they don't take off because nobody wants to use crypto because it's not easily integrated in their bank.

Unironically the most logical solution for Gaben.
He can just register a bank in Estonia or something.
Creating a fintech company is something that someone with his capital and experience can do.

They could, yes, if there is one use case for crypto, besides rugpulls, it would be buying digital goods.

Have you ever considered these stores just don't want shitty porn games and this is a good excuse to get rid of them?

If you remove porn, it just eases competition for women even more and fuels the hoeflation more. If you reduce them to property of man of the household, and then just give them out to men as wives, then sure, porn is not as needed.
