Turns out censoring games is also brand damaging

>Kotaku
Not even an archive link should be allowed. Kotaku helped spearhead the cultural shift into condemning male sexuality in media. Fuck that cancerous group.

Murder is illegal, take it all down.

>>717038049 (OP)
I don't think that the bold strategy of "lying" that the payment processors have adopted in their responses is working.

>>717038319
If Valve emails Kotaku, who do you think I should cite? I would prefer Valve issue a statement on its website, but that hasn't happened yet.

>Non-consensual mutilation
>Sexual exploitation
So like The Witcher 3 and Fallout 4? I think 90% of fucking games are "brand damaging" according to those shitty standards lmao.

>>717038049 (OP)
>In a statement to Kotaku, a spokesperson for Valve said that while Mastercard did not communicate with it directly, concerns did come through payment processor and banking intermediaries.
>They said payment processors rejected Valve’s current guidelines for moderating illegal content on Steam citing Mastercard’s Rule 5.12.7.
This is amazing.
Instead of communicating directly, they're taking the Pinkerton approach and use intermediaries to threaten everyone into submission.

>>717038495
>Non-consensual mutilation
every single game that has a bladed-weapon
>sexual exploitation
covers a lot more shit then you think, say goodbye to every single game with a chick with exposed skin

Risk to the Mastercard brand?
Nobody gives a fuck about the brand of card they use to buy shit, it's not even a thought that enters their minds.
Are these people retarded?

>>717038409
Nobody is lying here and you most likely didn't even read it.

Mastercard didn't *directly* pressure Valve, but intermediaries like Collective Shout did, who pointed out to Mastercards rules that says "if the piece of media has no artistic value it is considered like illegal media".

So this is still Mastercards fault.

>>717038049 (OP)
>it's all layers of intermediaries and no one involved is responsible
sound like jewish tricks

Fictional content can not be illegal, lol this is so insane

>>717038328
>Murder is illegal, take it all down.
Yeah exactly lol

Sonis car theft, better take down GTA games! Lol

>that may damage the brand
ah yes, because people sleep soundly knowing that mastercard doesnt process payments for certain video games.
meanwhile im sure the banks that are oh so worried about their image are funding a war somehere. or some other shady shit.

Mastercard is damaging Valve's brand and my trust in Valve has been tarnished by this debacle. Gabe should sue them for a gorillion dollars.

>>717038657
>intermediaries like Collective Shout
Don't poison the well, anon.
Collective Shout is a nobody. These intermediaries are unnamed for a reason.

>>717038049 (OP)
sounds like it's a good idea to keep putting pressure on mastercard etc. to make it clear that censorship is also damaging to their brand

>>717038049 (OP)

That is the important part. It's hypocritical and arbitrary.

>>717038049 (OP)
>nonconsensual mutilation of a person or body part
So literally any and every game with violence.

>>717038049 (OP)
If Visa and Mastercard care about their brand image so much, then use their censorship to smear their brand image.

>>717038742
Like how Sweet Baby Inc was a nobody? They're all complicit, why are you defending Collective Shout and Mastercard/Visa

>>717038657
>intermediaries like Collective Shout
CS is a third party NGO. It has nothing to do with operations of MC, it is like /v/ in that its only power is to nag. CS *nagged* intermediaries is more accurate

>>717038830
Sweet Baby Inc has nothing to do with this situation.
Stay with the facts instead of making connections that literally aren't there.

>>717038657
but every piece of media has value to someone- even the worst DAZ shovelware.

CJNG used mastercard to finance their mini holocaust outside guadalajara

>>717038657
>Nobody is lying
They are lying. They said that they only care about the sold content being legal, which is a lie, through their intermediaries they pressured game distribution platforms to ban legal games. It's like a mob boss telling you he didn't get you beat up, because it was his goon that did it. Who was ordered by the boss to do it.

>>717038049 (OP)
>Sexual exploitation games are icky and a brand risk for major companies
So water is wet? There is no new information here

>>717038830
Nobody is defending a hysterical feminist group. But if you think they are the actual problem in this, you are an apologist, a deflector, a paid shill or simply a retard.

>>717038636
It's about control, if anything they are risking their brand by pulling out, showing that they are the inconsistent and unreliable middleman

>>717038636
They're afraid of activists. Things like, "Look, this manga where a rapist abuses 10-year-old girls can be bought with a Mastercard! Ahhhhh!"
The solution to this is to make a credit card, in the people minds, the same as cash. No one in their right mind would blame a ten-dollar bill because someone bought something "ugly" with it. It should be the same with credit cards.

>>717038473
Yeah, I guess you're right.

>>717038049 (OP)
Just create your own payment processor

>A Merchang must not submit to is 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
I might be retarded, but doesn't this read more like "As long as it isn't illegal and doesn't abuse good will, the transactions between customers and corporations shouldn't be impeded"? I'm a dumbass that can only read code more than legalese. Should it not be up to the corporation selling/buying what is considered damage to their goodwill?
The other part that bugs me though is the "illegal" statement, because different areas of the world have different legal requirements, how do you judge what is/isn't acceptable for those contradictory things? You could say "Wherever the buyer/seller is located" but that doesn't seem to be the case with Visa/MasterCard slapping legal japanese pornographic material.

>>717038657
If I tell you to shoot up a school and you actually end up doing so, who is at fault?

>>717038820
>material that the corporation deems unacceptable
Along with a vast majority of regular people. Only basement dwelling incels want to keep pedo incest rape games around.
>It's hypocritical and arbitrary
No its quite reasonable considering cultural and social norms of 21st century. You are the weird one who is out of touch

Lol Americans.

sweet baby was entrenched in the industry and federally backed

this is literally a no name australian feminist group petitioning payment processors. they have no reason to comply other than the fact that they want to

>>717039347
How does one determine artistic value?

>>717039480
If I like it = it has artistic value.
If I don't like it = it has no artistic value.

>>717039090
the thing is no one even thinks like that today. It's only delusional CEOs as usual. Who fucking cares if there's a tiny mastercard logo on my credit card when I'm buying a fucking game. everyone already rightfully assumes that it is just a means of payment.

>>717039328
That's the same reasoning people used to rage at GTA. If it depended on you, there'd be no GTA because it goes against le good norms.

>>717039170
That's actually illegal

>>717039090
NOBODY is blaming payment processors for the shit other stores are selling in an honest way. Some dishonest women are just looking for ANY angle to get shit they don't like banned by snitching on ANY authority that would give them their way.

You can observe this behavior in females from a very young age. If they don't get what they want, they will snitch up the ladder of authority (teachers, parents, managers, police or just a strong male that sympathizes with them) until they GET what they want. And they don't do it with arguments, they do it with crying and shouting.

>>717038049 (OP)
ok, if im a business, how the fuck am i supposed to know what the hell counts as "things that may negatively reflect on the corporation"

nobody but the purists were complaining about the gooner games

who the fuck cares? its not disneyland, its a fucking payment processor, are you telling me i can buy a gun with mastercard but not smut? thats retarded

>>717039090
>>717039090
What manga is that?

>>717038049 (OP)
How is it brand damaging when those transactions should be confidential and private? No one should know they happened besides the buyer, seller, processor, and potentially IRS.

>>717039663
>if im a business, how the fuck am i supposed to know what the hell counts as "things that may negatively reflect on the corporation"
You take preemptive steps to remove everything that could possibly do so.
Kind of like how you would remove sharp things from a home when you're expecting a baby.

>>717039653
Oh...

Just put a tiny scene at the end of your game with all the characters alive and discussing how the entire thing was just a movie, nobody is related by blood, and everyone consented to everything
Just like how incest does the step-mom/sibling thing

What can we do to further damage Mastercard/Visa's brand reputation?

>>717039382
That part is especially stupid since the first amendment specifically protects offensive material, because nobody needs the first amendment for things everyone agrees with.
So don't blame this on america.

And "lacks serious artistic value" is just obvious pr speak for "we don't like it".

>>717039696
idk, look up some tags on sadpanda and see what you get

>>717038049 (OP)
>don't sell stuff that's illegal :^)

DEPICTING STUFF THAT IS ILLEGAL IS NOT ILLEGAL ITSELF

>>717039765
Problem is that "sharp" is usually a quantifiable measure, "things that may negatively reflect on the corporation" is subjective.

>>717039803
>step-mom/sibling thing
I know WHY they do this
But it 110% ruins the immersion for me

>>717039876
>"things that may negatively reflect on the corporation" is subjective.
You may think so, but companies usually hire people who claim to know what those things are and let them do their risk assessment.
Said persons are also usually recommended by the companies requiring you to not step on toes. Funny how that works.

>>717038049 (OP)
>nonconsensual mutilation of a person
You could argue that's like at least 86% of games

>>717039363
Sorry Mr. Delusional CEO, nobody gives a fuck about the logo on their credit cards.

>>717039810
people have been arrested over drawings before. the first amendment didn't protect them because judges ruled that the works had no artistic merit, so that's not just a pr thing. there are actual legal classifications as well

>>717039803

I'm glad it is happening, but it is funny regardless.

>>717039996
Which is retarded circular reasoning because if it was drawn well enough and with enough detail to get you arrested then clearly you applied artistic techniques during its production. If I draw stick figure rape and take it to the cops it'll just get a laugh.

>>717040165
Genuinely the saddest thing I've ever beheld. It's funny because of who she is, but holy shit.

What looks worse for mastercard?
a.) Letting people buy and sell what the want even if the material may be controversial or offensive to soccer moms.
or
b.) Mastercard snuffing creative works they don't like out of existence because they somehow think letting people buy things freely hurts their brand.

fucking retards

>>717039090
It's good that they're afraid of activists, gamers will hound them for years while making a lot more noise. Let's see how afraid they'll be in time.

It's all or nothing. If you won't protect shovelware you won't protect serious art.

>>717040425
Art is a banana duct tapped to a wall.
Who are you to say No Mercy has less value than that.
Certaintly had a lot more labor put into it.

JUST MOVE THE BOARDS OVER THERE, BOARD MOVER

>>717040425
it doesnt matter what you think, it's either all or nothing. you cannot objectively define artistic merit, no one can.

an openers.
Now I think they're completely fucking retarded and I'm genuinely worried about them handling my purchases.

They've done more permanent damage to their own "brand" with this shit show than anyone or anything else ever could have.

>>717040813
they don't ban those because already log and report those transactions to the government

>>717040301
It was already damaged due to their direct branding.

>>717040609
>Why are they trying so hard to hide the censorship using underhand tactics
They're scared of getting sued/regulated. It's the only reason why mastercard would even try to make a disingenuous statement about it defending themselves instead of just ignoring it.

>>717040228
Never fuck with weebs and their goon material.

Credit cards have long since reached the point where they are just considered as currency. Being upset at someone using mastercard to buy illegal content is akin to blaming a 20 dollar bill for being used to purchase weed on a street corner.

There is a good point in their view, like incest in a few states is technically illegal even if portrayed in porn as make believe. Then you have countries like Australia where if someone has a flat chest, even if an adult its considered underage and banned. Easier from their perspective to potentially pull payment processor support to people/companies selling it than have to deal with weird porn laws across the world because in some roundabout way they are selling it.

>Ford asked Goldstein why Jews were dramatically overrepresented in the porn industry. He answered, "The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don't believe in authoritarianism. Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged."

This is why pure profit motive is insufficient to explain MasterCard's behaviour. It is MC's best interest to just collect the transaction fee from anyone wants to use it. Why attempt to build up a brand for this service? If everyone just perceives MC as a sort of common carrier, indifferent to what it is used for, nobody will blame it for transactions they personally do not like.

But here is the kicker:
The only porn being taken down now is independent porn, drawn porn and porn not funded by big industries.
Visa/Mastercard is doing nothing regarding the big porn sites with their professional porn, but instead go after the porn made by people not funded by thousands or millions of dollars. Ignore the degeneracy aspect of porn for this conversation, if their true goal was to stop obscenity then why would big companies still be able to film, distribute and sell their pornographic works while those without funding outside of direct donations and intermediate sales are targeted?

>>717043023

A lot of audio works on DLsite have this in an audio often called “free talk” or with a similar title. Unfortunately that didn’t save them from getting hit by Visa and Mastercard.

>>717039328
>but muh GoT, muh GTA!
in reality this like the 500th time and nothing more over multiple decades of them just specifically not wanting to support these specific materials. Payment processors have no interest in being cultural censors at large because it runs against, you know, making money, but they consider the cost-to-benefit worth to to not enable the dissemination of content that has no cultural value like rape simulator 3000.
go ahead keep calling, maybe it'll shift the calculus but they were looking at 'we defend rape game No Mercy' >huge media uproar drawing attention from millions of women and potential boycotts

Do they not have ANY idea how poorly this reflects on their brand?

>>717043270
Because you go after the little guy before you go after the big guy.

>>717043432
To an extent yes, but consider that most of these ID implementations are prohibitively expensive for a lot of smaller sites to comply with and on top of that still isn't a ban to the pornography in general. The big companies are still able to make their products and sell them, it is just a bit harder. Compare that to what the little companies or individuals would have to do to sell the same product, if they are able to.
I know it is silly using Deus Ex when talking about porn, but this type of shit happens with other types of rules and things for "the greater good" that isn't something that would ONLY affect big companies. It is a global issue of rules being applied haphazardly to individuals and smaller groups while the big groups are mildly inconvenienced at best but can still continue doing what they are doing.
>>717043657
And how long will that process take? There are historical examples of smaller regulations for entire industries that were supposed to ramp up to the big guys, but all it did was kill the competition and allowed them to continue making their own products/services. Going after the little guy if they are doing wrong is correct, but it rarely if ever ramps up to deal with the big dogs, especially if we are going down the rabbit hole of who funds who doing whatever they are doing. Most of the time it just puts power into the established people rather than letting the market naturally expand with new ideas from individuals and smaller corporations.
You gotta find ways to smack the big guys down early, they use the smaller groups as a canary in the coal mine. Once they are entrenched behind rules they can afford to follow but no new upstart, that's how you get the corporate hellscape that has been permeating since the 1980's.

The only reason there is any sense of alignment is because of the muddled political identity of the perpetrator, in this case credit card companies. Nothing matters in the post-truth world besides tribalism. As soon as they want this matter to go away, they will find a way to label it as a sufficiently right or leftwing movement, at which point it will drown in tribal squabbling.

>>717043962
>Have we been going after the wrong target all this time?
No, what matters is the REASON you hate someone. For instance jew hate is allowed if you hate them for bombing the innocent brown people. BUT if you hate them for being child raping, demon worshipping, usurious scum then you're a nazi.

Do you think they've realised they've fucked up yet?

Even ignoring the hell they've ended up causing Visa/Mastercard employees (the majority of which were probably women) they're going to end up achieving the exact opposite of their goal. Since Visa/Mastercard were doing this bullshit for years now, but it was just isolated cases that people weren't motivated to really do something about. But after this, especially with a law being passed, Visa/Mastercard aren't going to even try this shit anymore. Really we should be thanking them.

Firstly it's not just outright porn fap games.
It's anything with adult content. A game that contains a scene where a woman is brutally killed by a villain using a blade to set a motive for the main character to go on a quest to kill him, that also counts if the scene is nasty enough to up the age rating. A scene where a weapon goes off and a mother and child are killed by shrapnel in a war counts. A scene depicting child abuse negatively as part of the narrative counts. A scene where an obviously evil character is extremely graphically executed by being drawn and quartered counts.
The technique of getting your foot in the door with niche fetish content and killing off anything adjacent in maturity is as old as media as a whole. I don't know why people keep falling for it then acting like it's a surgical strike against only the things they hate instead of a nuclear bomb.

>>717045591
>You think Jews don't watch porn?
ah well the real problem is elite jews and the schizophrenia the jewish religion and christianity has given jews. normal jews are probably not as humiliation ritual'd as goy cattle but it wouldn't surprise me if "Jews love black cock" begins to be a thing at some point. in Israel there are significant disturbances when a Jewess marries an Arab.

Not really cause the kids will be Jewish. The problem begins if it's a rural Arab who takes the girl back to his village and never lets her leave or have contact with her family.

Why are they like this?

>>717046664
yeah this shit is dumb. by their logic bg3 and gta6 are not allowed.

>>717041713
technically they're a financial technology "network" like owning the roads infrastructure between banks but not the point of sale terminal transaction. When you use Visa/MC on Steam you're using the card licensed with their brand issued via your bank

>>717044670
shut the fuck up

>>717046664
They have to play favorites otherwise they'd face backlashes just like this one that they were so scared of. They wanted to boil the frogs, not just straight into the deep end.

>>717046683
not sure, better call and describe it to them to be safe

God I wish some rich gooner would try to sue Mastercard and Visa. Or one of the game devs that got hit by this. Maybe a class action.

A man can dream.

Private banks are loaned money by the federal reserve at 0% interest and face 0 risk and they are perfectly insured and will never face any loss or any market force. They exist to give jews free money.

>>717038495
That's the point. The old "I know it when I see it" judicial ruling. It allows you discretion in what to ban or not ban. If a large corporate partner releases a gore slop, all good. If an indie does it, ban.

They have to start small. That's why they targeted the japanese first, that's why they're going after porn games now. The end is to get bigger things like BG3/GTA banned.

>>717046694
Because reputable activist groups didn't complain probably.
Anons and persona non grata magatards screeching about pedos online has little affect on major companies, while a well connected christian feminist group who are experts at intimidating people with "brand threat" speeches can make them seriously rethink their position.

That's not even fucking remotely true. Common carriers have protection. Ironically, by curating clients and their products in this way, they actually open themselves up to litigation!

now millions of people hate them, what a bunch of retards

>>717046997
cucking the gore, violence and blood mechanics to be less cool, realistic, fun and grisly is one of the gayest things you can do

>>717039090
It already is the same with credit cards. Back when governments were trying to shutdown crypto, they tried to paint it as complicit with drug dealing. Which it was. But it didn't work as a campaign, because people, as you said, are like "it's the money's fault someone buys drugs?"

Define "normal" here because someone who plays Fifa and CoD is obviously unaffected.

If the content is in the game it will get hit, no matter how you try to justify it within the context of the game's narrative.

The REAL way to handle the situation, is to sell a stripped down version of the game with no objectionable content, and then host for free download a patch or mod that adds the shit people actually want back into it.

>>717046738
>>717046976
No. The rules are the rules. Games like Baldur's Gate 3 should be removed from stores without delay

I've never seen a commercial for MasterCard or Visa. I've seen bank commercials, I've seen PayPal commercials, but I've never seen a single "brand image" of my credit card.

They have been arrested in the U.S. too, and not even for pedo drawings. Just for gore. Under obscenity laws. It dried up in the 2010's, but in the 90's and into the 2000's they would use two tactics.
A. Have an undercover officer go into a book store and buy an "obscene" publication (this included written text too) and if the clerk did not ask for I.D. they would arrest them AND the publisher
B. Order the book or movie online or through mail order to a state like Florida and then convict them of obscenity.

Call your US congressmen.

Matters to complain about:
VISA threatening companies to stop selling legal games & art in the US, claiming they're illegal globallly.
MASTERCARD threatening companies to stop selling legal games & art in the US, claiming they're illegal globally.
PIX, an alternative that does not block legal purchases, is being hindered by the US government from becoming an alternative in the US.


Bills of beneficial interest:
Fair Access to Banking Act [S401,HR987]
Makes it illegal for payment processor to refuse transaction for reputation or politics.

Bills to have killed:
Kids Online Safety Act [S1748]
Gets ball rolling to Internet ID, encourages device ID (for example, logging into Microsoft Store, OS ID, or Hardware ID)
Screen Act [S737]
Same as above, digital ID.
Interstate Obscenity Definition Act [S1671]
Scraps the Miller Test for obscenity law making near everything illegal depending on the jury.

Visa and Mastercard are responsible for 63% of GLOBAL EXCHANGE
The other 34% is literally only China
97% of GLOBAL COMMERCE is done through two international companies and China alone

It's interesting. I just happened to listen to a long podcast by some dude who is meant to be the expert on the Epstein case. He said the blackmail situation as reported by most people is backwards. Epstein's perversions were not used to blackmail powerful people, rather Epstein laundered billions for individuals and institutions like Bear Sterns, and they used him because they knew he was a degenerate pervert who would never roll on them or argue. He was one of the key people in the GFC/occupy wall street fiasco, because his companies would buy dogshit loans, wait for the regulators to assess and clear a bank as "financially sound" and then sell those shit assets back for nothing.

No because it's illegal. Not necessarily to protect the profits of Visa/MC, but to allow NATO aligned governments a lever to pull against their opposition. Like when Stripe stopped processing payments to Russia after the invasion of Ukraine. If you look at Stripes TOS (and Stripe handles the bulk of the worlds money movements) they theoretically can't process ANYTHING that isn't Disney tier. But obviously they do until the government tells them no.

>>717048361
That's what the guy said (he is some Tucker Carlson annointed researcher, so keep that in mind). He pointed out that Epstein would only incriminate himself and run the risk of being killed or at the very least jailed if he tried to blackmail all these people. But all these people through the 70s and 80s were happy to give this seemingly retarded man huge control of their money to hide in offshore businesses where they don't pay tax and that he could be trusted because he had so many "issues" that meant he could never co-operate with investigators or regulators.

>>717048530

No shit? How do you think rules are written? They are vague and open-ended enough so that the people enforcing them can apply them to practically anything if they deem it a problem.

Why are these jackass devs and businesses constantly making it hard for me to spend money? These corporations have, if not all, the power to stop this stupid bullshit, but choose not to. Are they masochists?

I can go to my local adult store and buy porn, dildos, and lube and fuck myself silly all with my Mastercard AND I get cash back if I use a credit card.

stop asking for the epstien files and talking about migrants goy

the average consumer sends 5 to 50 dollars per month to visa and mastercard in fees. Just stop using payment systems administered by visa and mastercard

It's not the people they're worried about thinking about the brand, it's entities like Collective Shout which is operated by key individuals from the pre-20s antifa movement and enabled the BLM riots. Regular jackasses like us aren't exactly able to lobby and petition national governments all day every day, nor do we have an army of "political activists" that travel the world burning entire cities to the ground. That's why a corporation as big as Mastercard is willing to bend the knee to them, they don't want to deal with that shit happening to their main headquarters, branch offices, or various acquisitions they purchased over the decades.

Most of the ones targeted up to now didn't have much power. They could have been run out of business entirely and their loyal and pissed off customers wouldn't be enough to bring down visa and mastercard. Steam could have fought it, though. All they had to do was call their bluff and tell them to either fuck off or try and deny them service. Steam is big enough, with enough customers, and (before this) a good enough reputation that them being debanked would have resulted in immediate legislation to classify payment processors as essential services and strip them of the right to decide who they do business with.

Blackcube Private Investigations.

They're continuously pointing the finger at others instead of just fucking owning up to it.

If its all about saving their brand image then why are they so afraid of admitting "yeah we did it because it would hurt our image" its almost like admitting the very action would damage their brand image which means this entire thing is fucking stupid

>muh precious Steam
They're in on it, you fucking goy.

>>717051303
That's what I'm saying, retard. Other businesses had plausible deniability because they genuinely could not afford to fight back against the payment processors. That's not the case for steam. They had the power to resist and chose not to. They are willingly complicit.
