Reminder:
Mastercard recently lied publicly that it was not involved in censorship on Steam in order to avoid backlash. Steam immediately responded, making it clear that although Steam tries to sell all games that are legal, they are unable to do so due to pressure from Mastercard:

>"Mastercard did not communicate with Valve directly, despite our request to do so," Valve told Kotaku. "Mastercard communicated with payment processors and their acquiring banks. Payment processors communicated this with Valve, and we replied by outlining Steam's policy since 2018 of attempting to distribute games that are legal for distribution. Payment processors rejected this, and specifically cited Mastercard’s Rule 5.12.7 and risk to the Mastercard brand.
>Rule 5.12.7 states that merchants "must not submit to its Acquirer, and a Customer must not submit to the Interchange System, any Transaction that is illegal, or in the sole discretion of the Corporation, may damage the goodwill of the Corporation or reflect negatively on the Marks."

The shills and political agents in this thread are just dividing players on an issue that was being supported by everyone, right or left, normal or faggots, men and women, conservatives and communists, etc.
Everyone agrees that Visa/Mastercard should not have the power to decide whether or not we can buy legal things.
