No amount of emailing and harassing their customer service will. The content people want back is just too objectionable.
The only thing you can do (at least in the U.S.) is trying to get politicians to back bills that prevent these companies from blocking access to people because of their opinions (some Repubs actually do their jobs drafting these things). Anything else is a waste of time.

Then Game of Thrones with its incest and rape will have to be removed too

There is no logic with these credit card noses. They can ban one thing and look at another thing that is similar and just do nothing to that.

>>717105683 (OP)
steam could cook the books slightly to insulate the sale of games with content at risk of being delisted.
for instance, weed is legal in DC, but selling weed is not. so to get around this, you buy a worthless trinket for $60 bucks and get a coupon for "free" weed that you pick up around the corner. the law is followed (not in spirit but technically to the letter), and is effectively bypassed

>>717106915
Agreed, which means it's strictly about control rather than morality and anyone who cares about not being controlled like they live in North Korea should be wary of a duopoly like Visa and Mastercard being able to dictate what legal content they can and cannot buy.

Making noise is exactly how you defeat those companies. Credit card companies can shut down absolutely everybody in the western world, but not at the same time. The more noise you make, the less they can afford fucking around without the government stepping in.

We can "work together" but we need another streamer to do the needful

Stupid people think that if you buy something worth one billion that you just lose one billion, smart people know that if you buy something worth $1b you have something that's worth $1b.

>these are the same thing
you guys just sound really stupid and look like disingenuous fearmongers with these shitty arguments

Another thing to add. If this somehow gets reversed. The media will be there to give Visa and Master Card a PR nightmare.

>>717106915
they are not going for big names because backlash. bear sex in BG3 is obviously wrong for them

just let us pay cash for online purchases. fuck cards

is there a missing fifth square on your chart?

>>717107286
That's exactly what DLSite was doing with their points system and it still wasn't enough for the plastic card companies. They ended up having to geoblock everything the cards found objectionable. Make no mistake, they are going out of their way to impose themselves on things they don't like.

I don't know if this is possible, but imagine if these stores start restricting the sale of certain games to certain cards.
The company that agreed to sell adult-themed games would have a big advantage, because nothing prevents them from also accepting normal games.
So basically every user of Steam or any video game store would benefit from switching to these companies' credit cards.
The only downside to this is that you wouldn't be able to buy certain games because of your card, even though they are available in the store.

Cucked by captain gabe or cucked by visa what's the difference. Illusion of free choice.

>>717106039
This is the way, honestly don't know why this hasn't happened yet.

>>717107286
They could accept crypto for those games but I guarantee they'll still get cut off if they did that.

This site's got some handy blurbs. There isn't really any right or wrong answer, just waste their time as much as you can even if they hang up.


I wrote out a brief script to help out anyone in need of it (including myself). If more knowledgeable anons, feel free to correct anything I might have gotten wrong here. Please call your reps:

“Hi there. I am calling to encourage your support for house bill H.R.987 (or senate bill S.401), the Fair Access to Banking Act. I am a resident of [state] and find the idea of politically motivated debanking incredibly concerning and want to see it regulated before it gets out of hand. It’s already had an impact on personal defense (firearms), entertainment, and other forms of free expression. Those speaking out against this behavior from entities such as MasterCard and Visa have been getting deplatformed in recent days. It is unconscionable behavior that deserves scrutiny.

I would also like to add that senate bill S.1671, Interstate Obscenity enables similarly draconian censorship. Having it pass would severely harm the values of expression S.401 seeks to uphold. Please do not support it.

Thank you”

(You may be asked to leave your name, zip code, and phone number. Add to the script as necessary. Takes less than a minute).

You can find your representatives/senators here: https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member

or they could simply institute wire and generalized bank transfers.
People used to have checkbooks

>>717109186
VISA and Mastercard are going about this in a way that makes that virtually impossible; they demand the complete removal of the offending games or content from the store they do business with, or they will terminate service. It is not enough for them to just not use them to buy the content that offends them, they want it gone completely. There's also the matter that most payment networks across the west and especially in America are totally reliant on them.

If you're not morally consistent then you're too biased to be listened to and are more likely being disingenuous about what you actually want

>>717110240
Sperm bank to give you steamies what you truly want.

>>717109861
using cryptocurrency in its current incarnation for buying commodities is patently retarded because of how volatile those markets are.
their only "value" is speculation

fucking this.
if i want to buy scat porn, i should, as an adult with a job and income, be allowed to buy said scat porn, not having to waddle thru the dark net for THE CHANCE to be able to buy the scat porn that probably wont be the one i want.

regardless of the content, theres no reason for 2 banking companies to decide how to spend the money i risk my life everyday to get! i am from mexico, technically this doesnt affect me yet, but if theres any way i can help with this, please tell me, because if this hits, mexico will be next no doubt.

Cool. Still emailing and calling.

Lawsuit? When the processors can just threaten to cut off America's ability to perform global trade at the breakneck efficiency required these days?
They're rich enough to be able to bleed for awhile, just to make a point that they're the motherfuckers in charge of this country.

i hate jews so much its unreal

>>717112694
It's a cultural phenomena, so mods like ABIB don't care.

the logical conclusion of capitalism. the government can't take your free speech away but the monopolies can. is it time for regulation or are we still pretending like corporations being able to do whatever they want is still a great idea

>>717112141
That sounds like a good way to get your whole company liquidated and its executives executed.

>>717105683 (OP)
No, what we need is an anti-monopoly suit and breaking them up into 40 new competing payment processors. Trying to make them change or revert policies is futile, the only way is to murder them and force their kids to fight to death again.

>>717112141
You clearly don't understand how publicly traded companies work.

>say something
>now you are blocked from using all the money you had
This is next, even for the average Joe, we all know it is possible since they did it to Kanye, with all the ID shit and other regulation from (((them))) you can expect it to happen in a more regular basis.

>>717112934
>the only way is to murder them and force their kids to fight to death again
And then the victor becomes the new monopoly, and the government will become complacent again, allowing the cycle to repeat.
Also, it'd set precedent that all other monopolies must be eradicated, which would cost trillions of dollars given how many bloated and rich twat gigacorps exist in countless industries.

>>717113086
This is next? People have been getting blocked from banks and payment processors for years now. This is only a problem no because coomers are getting hit and they are loud.

>>717108242
so they are getting rid of al the shit porn games literally no one plays. thank fucking god.

>>717111786
>the dark net
Another side effect of over-regulation. Sounds like ideal conditions for increased prostitution and human trafficking black markets.
