Why aren't you going after Valve with this much energy?

>>717047608 (OP)
I dont care

>>717047608 (OP)
>going after Valve
For what?

>>717047608 (OP)
Get a fucking life

>>717047608 (OP)
Because the mere notion that valve, who has been selling these games for years without issues, is suddenly going to shoot themselves in the foot and lose billions, willingly, is retarded.

>>717047608 (OP)
Motherfucker you actually are taking their statement at face value? Theyre fucking lying and everyone knows it and valve outright called out their bullshit today

Who are these lawmakers? Dont tell me MasterCard doesn't know them very, very well.

Because you target the people who make the rules, not the ones that follow them, Kikenstein.

So Valve is just a poor little indie company with no influence and sway?

>>717047608 (OP)
Illegal where? North Korea? Vatican City?
It isn't illegal here in the United States. Fucking hate these people so goddamn much.

>>717047608 (OP)
I'm surprised they're still calling themselves Mastercard considering the racial connotations. What a blunder.

>>717048021
Why are you even posting when you have no idea what a payment processors even is? I hope this is just rage bait because this is peak stupid

>>717048229
So a straw man. Ok.

>>717047608 (OP)
Mastercard is not a video game you shitsucking retard. Go jerk off to your loli porn elsewhere pedo.

>7th post using the image
lmao

Valves response to Mastercard bullshit

>the small hat tribe has threatened us with a refusal to work with us, if we don't kneel. This would mean that we cannot function at all.
>Why aren't you blaming valve, the victim
>"they" are grossly overstepping their bounds and they're about to find out

>>717048602
Fuck kike valve too for their loot boxes and shit games

>>717047608 (OP)
Zoomers are brainwashed and worship corporations, they wont do shit

>>717048424
So they basically told Valve they'll ban whatever they like. And they didn't even tell Valve themselves, they used intermediaries.

>>717048602
>>"they" are grossly overstepping their bounds and they're about to find out
lmao that's the path y'all taking now?
threats?

>>717048774

They tried this with guns a few years ago and got humbled pretty quick by the people. I imagine going after videogames of all things is gonna be even worse. I don't know what they're thinking. You didn't know?

Imagine if we had community notes

Why does no one go after real porn sites? Seriously, just check the front page of pornhub. Literally every video displayed is faux-incest shit. If visa/mastercard have such a problem with that then why does real porn get a pass?

Yes, yes, I know (((the reason))).

Ive noticed that as soon as Mastercard put out their statement faggots like OP have been trying to spin the narrative in other threads that valve is at fault too as if it isnt 100% the payment processors.

This is the stupidest fucking psy-op attempt I've seen when the situation really fucking is as black and white as it seems.

>>717047608 (OP)
>we didn't ban those games, we just had our goyim do it, we're innocent!

>>717049979
>This is the stupidest fucking psy-op attempt I've seen when the situation really fucking is as black and white as it seems.
no one cares. but i'm not saying that to rile you: no one cares about this movement. it's why they keep ticking more boxes in hopes of pissing enough people off to join the cause. look at that post above saying they have no problems threatening people going forward.

>>717049958
Who controls the banks and credit cards?
Who controls the western porn industry?
Do you understand now? It's not that deep.

>>717047608 (OP)
Valve is guilty of being spineless. Payment processors are guilty of forcing puritan guidelines on everybody who wants to receive online payments.

>We don't interfere
>but we do

>>717048021
Valve's money and influence is exactly why anyone is even aware of it in the first place. If it weren't for that, the changes would just take place with no one really noticing. Not defending Valve, but it is what it is.

>>717050236
No one is threatening you, shekelstein. We are merely telling you that when you strike people, be prepared to get struck back in response. I know (you) people love playing victim, but that ain't gonna work any longer.

>We have payment processors of all things on the fucking run
ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH

>>717047608 (OP)
Because VALVE isn't the one asking itch.io to remove games from their catalog
Retard

>>717048021
Valve really shouldn't have bent the knee so quickly but the payment processors are acting like they didn't do anything

OYYY VEYYY GOYIM
YOU WANT TO STOP US FROM RAPING KIDS?
WELL YOU MUST HATE RAPE, WE'LL DO THE WORLD A FAVOR BY REMOVING ALL GAMES WITH THAT FROM THE WORLD, BECAUSE OF COURSE IT MAKES YOU WANT TO DO IT IRL
MMMM YESSS WE LOVE CONTROLLING MONEY AND THUS, MORALITY.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME GOYIM WHEN YOU WANT TO BAN POLITICIANS FROM PUBLICLY TRADING
WE'RE GONNA BAN STOCKS ENTIRELY :)

>>717047608 (OP)
Because Valve wasn't going after various services selling porn for last several years

>>717050240
Funny enough if we could find a connection to visa and Mastercard funding the genocide in Gaza youd get a whole lot more people complaining, being loud, calling them hypocrites,and shitting on them in general. It'd be cause for a major kvetching

>>717050568
of course they are, they want the heat to turn off
they can't point to any indecency lawsuits or any illegal adult content because there weren't any

>>717049979
Not everything is a psy-op. It's literally just BAIT.
People on /v/ just make purposely inflammatory statements all the time because it helps keep your thread active on a board where threads can get to page 10 in less than 10 minutes.

OP knows that nobody will defend Mastercard/Visa, and it's really not worth mentioning because people will just talk about the actual topic instead of replying to OP anyways.

>>717048021
Please stop being a retard. I don't know if you are part of a discord, but this is genuinely one of the most retarded ideas I have ever seen. You might as well ask why the clerk at 711 won't take your homemade money that has your portrait drawn in crayon.

>>717050568
Valve cant do anything, this is like having a mango juice factory and the city just says "well we are gonna turn off the water". Like what are you gonna do? Make your own water infrastructure?

Reminder: protesting only works when you push on an open door. Visa and MasterCard only "listened" to Collective Shout because it was the direction the Agenda was already going. The real goal is to lock down communications around the Western world to avoid discussion around one or more upcoming totally unplanned events. I'll leave you to speculate what that might be, while inviting you to keep in mind the last time a totally unplanned event had significance over many people's lives...

Just keep contacting them non-stop. Every call a callcenter jeet answers wastes their time and money.

>>717048021
Compared to payment processors that could essentially kill them overnight? Yes.

Valve cultists can not speak ill of their cult leader, you should know how cults work by now

>>717049579
isn't the first one still around?

>>717051556
>Just keep contacting them non-stop
It really will be non-stop, because they're never going to reverse this. It's the Agenda, stupid, just like that time going outside was considered a social faux-pas...

>>717051468
>last time a totally unplanned event had significance over many people's lives...
Which was?
Don't fucking say covid, that was China.

>>717051703
>that was China
With collaboration from America's Doctor™, who was "on the same page" (his words) as the President at the time, yes.

>>717051557
>>717051310
They could easily accept alternative forms of payment like crypto.

>>717047608 (OP)
You work for satan

>>717051817
>Anon really thinks China would bend down to the nose
Adorable. I'll give you another (you) for making me smile.

>>717051840
They have already tried that and given good reasons why crypto sucks.

>>717051901
>Anon thinks Chinese and Western Elites don't collaborate all the time
I'd return the remark ("Adorable") if I thought this was born of naïveté and not ignorance.
>>717051980
See? They even pick the same scapegoats.

>>717051980
>The professor took things one anti-Semitic step farther stating
I don't know why this line made laugh but it did.

>>717048424
>nonconsensual mutilation of a person or body parts
a lot more games should be banned then

>>717051840
they already have tried crypto you underage retard, they literally said it was impossible to keep up cause the price fluctuates so rapidly that purchases were not consistent while processing

>>717051939
>>717052172
Ever heard of stable tokens you fucking shills?

>>717048021
>valve going against the people that have a monopoly on how money is spent and processed in an age of digital currency
you CANNOT be this fucking stupid

>>717052247
>valvefag talking about monopolys

cute

>>717052262
You lost, little Timmy

>>717052215
Onus is on you to prove it's not dogshit. There's a reason practically nobody uses or accepts crypto as actual currency. It's damn near worthless outside of speculative value and dark web shit.

>>717052262
You don't have the first clue what you're talking about if you think Valve is anything more than a rounding error to the banks.

>>717052215
Until they have no transaction fees or wait times or, you know, anyone even actually fucking uses them, they're worthless.

>>717047608 (OP)
Payment processors are the biggest evil today. They get free cents for ever payment that goes through their fully automated system, earning trillions of dollars every month while they sleep, and yet have the gall to dictate what people do with their own money.

>>717052262
a video game store being a monopoly because it provides the absolute best service out of all it's competitors is not the same as payment processors being a monopoly because they exist out of necessity to function throughout every day life,

>>717047608 (OP)
Valve isn't the cause of this, and its not really about pornographic material, thats a coverup its about control. All Mastercard and Visa had to do, was tell the feminists to fuck off and not virtue signal. Though I'm sure they're not even the spearhead of this as its probably some globalist fuck trying to rile up people for supporting self saving causes and politicians who will reverse the brown invasion into western lands.

Eventually all major manufacturers of food, all major electric companies and all major water sources will be fucked with because the "chose people of god" behind all of this shit think because their skydaddy book tells them that they're better than everyone else, that because we don't bow, that its a problem.

>>717048021
Compared to Visa and Mastercard?
Yes.

>>717052169
Valve is doing the absolute bare minimum in removing games. They basically just went after shovelware and games with incest right in the title as a show of compliance. Itch went the full scorched earth.

>>717052169
I would assume they mean sexually.
Blowing people's brains out and screaming america, fuck yeah, is totally okay.

>>717047608 (OP)
>tl;dr: We didn't look into any games and tell people to remove them. Our policy is we allow any legal purchases and don't allow any illegal purchases :^)
so why did they act against their policy?

>>717052976
Its corpo speak, they are either straight up lying or their intemediary is about to get executed for being a colossal fuckup

>>717047608 (OP)
This is definitely an attempt by a shill to deflect blame away from the payment processors, who have abused their position in this way before with gun retailers, political groups, and Japanese 18+ game devs, artists, and porn retailers. These payment processors are a much bigger threat to your liberty than Valve. One day they're going to turn your credit score into a social credit score if this continues

>>717052262
this is your brain on /v/

>>717049802
Reader notes is one of the best things Elon's ever done.

>>717052976
because they are lying

>>717053283
That's disproven

>>717053445
>That's disproven
no it hasn't lol, lying by omission is still lying.

>>717049958
Visa and Mastercard already went after Pornhub several years ago and made them remove over 10 million videos and required all future uploads to be done by verified users.

>>717047608 (OP)
>we allow all lawful purchases on our network
>we ensure Mastercard cards cannot be used for unlawful purchases, including illegal adult content.

>>717053227
I was reading about MasterCard's statement on other news sites and the community notes is included in the embed, so people can read how MC are a bunch of lying fuckers even if journalists are too shitty to do their job correctly. It's a sweet feature.
