NEWS~ Statement from MasterCard:

Clarifying recent headlines on gaming content

Mastercard has not evaluated any game or required restrictions of any activity on game creator sites and platforms, contrary to media reports and allegations.

"Our payment network follows standards based on the rule of law. Put simply, we allow all lawful purchases on our network. At the same time, we require merchants to have appropriate controls to ensure Mastercard cards cannot be used for unlawful purchases, including illegal adult content."

Essentially they deny everything and give the same transparent BS lies as Visa.

FUCK THESE GUYS! I hate being lied to in such an obvious manner. It's so insulting. WE ARE NOT STUPID! STOP LYING YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!! Oops that's incest.
