PayPal has notified Valve that the acquiring banks are terminating paying for Steam purchases in any other currencies except EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD, and USD.

Do these fucks really want to commit suicide just to ban a couple thousand people from buying porn games?

They are throwing away their century old ploy of monopolizing banks just to stick it to the chuds.

>>717933606
I don't think this is related to porn games at all because they are just stopping processing entire currencies via PayPal, I wonder if there are some money laundering schemes that involve paying third world currencies on Steam.

Third worlders should be banned from buying videogames, period.

>>717933967
>I don't think this is related to porn games at all
It literally is.
This whole thing started over porn, and it's been going on pretty long now with other plattforms like patreon, pixiv, dliste etc.

No.

So are the payment processors trying to kill themselves? Because this is going to force the creation of a new payment processor to operate in the countries that don't use those currencies. One which will have a complete monopoly because of their refusal to operate there.

>>717933606

>>717936187
That'd be immediate failure.
The issue with Visa/MC isn't what you purchase with that mark. It's what's available at a store that uses that mark. The only way an alternative currency would prevent the issues with the payment processors is if they didn't use the payment processors at all. That'd mean
>go to store to buy prepaid card to load on your Steam account
is the only option. Nobody wants to do that. Steam dies overnight. It's best to hope that this executive order sorts out the payment processor issue, and the impending Senate or House bill gets it done on a more permanent basis.

Its not about porn, you're conflating two different issues. What is being displayed in the OP is a new push for the West to distance itself from lesser markets. Transportation and marketing costs are going up, profits from marginal third-world markets are going down, and in the modern day we can clearly see that a thirdie customer is not worth the same amount that a Western consumer is.

We're going to see all markets shrink away from the third world. For the next 50-100 years, more and more products and markets are going to only do business in the West, and a lot of the third world is going to recess into the past Cuba-style, where the last generation of anything they have that is Western just sticks around and gets older and older.

For a little longer. Soon it'll be illegal and no payment processors in the West will process it, same as what's basically already happened to Russia now. They're not ending globalization instantly, they're doing it in steps that people grumble a little over but are able to adjust to.

Globalization of the markets was entirely predicated on the idea that thirdies could be turned into similar assets to Western consumers. That people are interchangable, markets and money are interchangable, and we can clearly see after 80-odd years of this experiment that they are not. The third world is still the third world, and it still hasn't paid off in most markets other than perhaps consumer goods - what's more, the thirdies are starting to get uppity rather than staying in their lane, which produces an entirely new problem.

Either way, profit motive will get us out of this, the same that profit motive got us into this. No company or institution is going to continue to piss money into the third world, that whole experiment is going the way of the Dodo.

The thing is what competition is gonna be, I don't know, Venezuela creating its own local payment system that they cannot use anywhere but there?
They're losing nothing. It's a worthless market.
The ones losing are always the ones being excluded, and even if they make their own local thing, it's worthless because they wanna hook-up with the global things and the global things won't let them in no matter what.
The other part of the equation is that these people have practically infinite money already so that's why they're doing this now, browbeating you is their way to get their jollies now, and they have all the resources in the world to do so and get away with it.

Americans are the sole World Protagonists. We drag Europe along because they're the ancestors that we came from, and we stand on the shoulders of giants, even though their empires are not what they once were. But it is, and always will be, the West that advances the cause of humanity. Not Asia, not Africa, not the Middle East. We may or may not drag the rest of you kicking and screaming into the future, tough to say, but it was never your choice, it was always ours.

No, payment processors have a monopoly on the world, even paypal and Stripe have to go through Mastercard/Visa. You would need billions of dollars to compete with them in any meaningful sense. Even the bill signed by trump only affects banks directly so unless everyone does bank wire transfers or crypto people are screwed.

>>717939317
To be completely honest, globalization has been a complete disaster for western countries, and that was proven true when during the coof, US citizens wouldn't know if when they finished all their drugs, they would be able to buy more to treat their illnesses, since all production was completely offshored to china, the fucking country they're in an active cold war with.

>>717940212
Yeah, it has. The original premise was basically that if we can drag the third world up to the status of the first, that it would expand the market cap and provide more (equal) consumers for the goods. The actual reality is that the consumers are not equal, and usually its the developed Western world subsidizing business done elsewhere.

It started with the best of intentions but the results weren't what we were hoping. Now that markets are tightening, we're going back in the other direction again.

Making a compromise in ourselves to make sure for all time that there's never a Chinese or Indian century, or that Russia never becomes a multi-polar power will be worth the tremendous cost.

you can blame that faggot California judge for ruling on this a while back btw.
They couldnt care less about potential lawsuits, as that's ultimately less money than they would lose due to lost purchases. The problem is "reputation" meaning if shit gets out, people would rather move to another payment processor.

Wartime measures will preclude there being any globalization. Besides, jews and corporations are losing money on the thirdies, not gaining money like they were promised with the older US foreign policy. It depended on us being able to turn the average Russian, Chinese, or Indian citizen into an actual American, worth as much as an American, with the same sensibilities and purchase patterns as an American.

Its actually closer to being the other way around. The global system from 1990s to 2020s was the American Empire in its height.
The US is now in the process of scaling back and dismantling said global system because they don't have the ability and willingness to maintain it anymore.
They are of course trying to do a controlled demolition in a way that leaves the US in as good of a position as possible for the transition period towards a new world order, but I somewhat doubt that their leadership will be able to achieve optimal results in this respect.

Hey, I'm not saying its your fault, and I'm not saying its fair. What it is is what it is. The West spent the last 80 years trying to convert the third world into the first, it didn't work - people are just fleeing here instead, and they're unwanted.

If you're wondering why the tariffs, why the exclusionary financial practices, why the consolidation of markets, why hyper-surveillance from the schools on up, why all the miseducation and misdirection, why suddenly super-plague lockdowns without a super-plague, and everything else, all in the last couple of decades, this is why. The world is preparing to move from a round table of equals to a World Empire. Its not going to be about sovereign individuals or states or ideologies anymore, its going to be about one group of 'us' and everybody else, who all go squarely into the 'them' column.

People didn't rise up against British rule, your freedom was given back to you, you mouthbreather. In the wake of the World Wars, the US started dictating in the 50s and 60s that the old Empires had to give up their colonies and free all of their component pieces if they wanted financial and material help with reconstruction - which they needed. The homelands had been effectively smashed by the war.

America didn't do it out of the goodness of our hearts - it was deliberately done to dismantle the European powers as potential competitors to America, the same way that making all of the emergent Thirdie economies dependent on American consumers and finances was. Everything was in preparation for Empire, you were never really even a player in this game, fren.

The Dollar supremacy hinges on America's reliability as a world hegemon, but since they are no longer maintaining that hegemony the Dollar reserve currency system will begin to erode with it.
In the near-moderate future there likely won't be another single currency taking the Dollar's place, instead there will be several competing currencies.

What (if anything) will come out of the taxes is still uncertain. Sure business owners will be sweating as they always do when anything steps on their toes, but politically it's not quite clear.
After the taxation hit Brazil the president quickly took a trip to India and China afaik, to talk with each one's president seeing as trumps tax tantrum is hitting everyone. In a way, that taxation deal could wind up acceleration the BRICS currency trial. Or nothing could ever happen.

They have anticipated a massive turn in international opinion from the final phase of their siege on Gaza.
They really don't want this to happen to Israel. So, they make heavy handed moves that in turn triggers the US Government (likely this is done in coordination) to produce an executive order that says it is not up to banks to pass moral judgement between transactional parties, they have to facilitate payments without question.

Steam’s support page states that in early July 2025, PayPal notified Valve that the acquiring bank for PayPal transactions was ending processing for any Steam transactions in currencies other than USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, and JPY. No further reason was given. Gaming press reported the same, with no extra details.

Why an acquiring bank would cut to six “major” currencies (and evidence these pressures are real):

>AML/CTF compliance and “de-risking.”
Global regulators note that banks increasingly “de-risk” by limiting higher-cost, higher-risk cross-border flows. This often means pruning correspondent banking relationships. The goal is to reduce exposure to anti–money-laundering (AML) and sanctions risk, but it also cuts off whole currency corridors. This is a well-documented trend.

>FX settlement/operational risk and cost.
Settling lesser-used currencies carries more risk and expense. FX settlement risk (“Herstatt risk”) is higher when liquidity is low, and mitigating it requires specialized payment rails and counterparties that may not be available or cheap. Sticking to the most liquid major currencies avoids much of this burden.

>Fewer correspondent rails = simpler, faster settlement.
If a bank doesn’t have direct clearing in a currency, it has to route payments through correspondent banks. This adds fees, delays, and compliance overhead. De-risking often leads banks to pull out of these smaller corridors entirely.

>Commercial viability / low volume.
Maintaining compliance controls and settlement access for many currencies can be uneconomical if transaction volume is low. Trimming to high-volume majors is a common business move.

>Summary:
Valve confirms the basic fact: PayPal’s acquiring bank limited support to six major currencies. The most consistent explanations, supported by industry and regulatory sources, are a mix of compliance-driven de-risking, settlement simplification, and low-volume cost cutting.

This is why the sanctions also boost EU security since by cutting down Russian trade there will be more incentives within the EU to find trade alternatives, to treat Russia as a security threat and to invest in the defense of Eastern Europe accordingly so more wars can be prevented.
At some point I recall US tried to get EU to remove their sanctions but thankfully they refused.

Russia won't ever try to take anything west of Poland if it came down to it. Americans don't really care about slav nations being taken over by Russians because most see them as roughly the same people, but Germans/Greeks/etc is something we actually care about for having inspired culture in the states and will basically always have a vested interest in maintaining for popular support and other reasons like we actually see them as completely different peoples.

not just chavez though, we argentinians have an article in our constitution (made in the 90s) than would approve a joint latin american currency should we ever make one.

there were plans for one back when mercosur was first established but we never got that far

Trump is literally the only one fighting against this shit anon, you may not like him but he’s your only hope

kinda exciting. valve already did trial run taking crypto. but they canned it because payment processors said they would drop them if they did it.
now there isnt an reason to not accept crypto.
>but crime! they said there was too much crime as well.
he put lootboxes into games for children. get real for a second. they tossed the crime part out there to make themselves look good to the payment processors. doesnt matter now lol.

Russia actively contributed to the creation of the energy crisis via influencing politicians like Schröder and is actively preventing solutions to the migration problem by influencing parties like Afd who were kept out of government due to their pro-Russia stances.
Whether Americans care about Russia's wars or not isn't really relevant anymore since only the most die hard Trump fans in Poland still think that the US would honor any of their security commitments to Eastern Europe.
The EU seeks security in Eastern Europe in order to preserve itself as a regional actor and more wars targeting its member states would would compromise the existence of the EU itself, and the major economies of Western Europe have invested too much into the EU project in order to let it fail.
Whether eurosceptics will admit to it or not, the EU is the only chance for Europe to remain relevant this century and the powers at be in Europe know this.
Besides, Russia is likely to bleed in Ukraine for several more years so there should be enough time for building up defenses in Eastern Europe in the meanwhile, and that investment would be much smaller for the EU than dealing with more wars targeting its member states.

Russia will do indirect war on Europe, but never direct. Any "security" issues that Russia brings up are things that a competent leader could overcome with savvy diplomacy.
I mostly agree with what you said but the EU is too indolent to do anything and is more focused on pushing really shit flavor of the month agendas like carbon zero and humanitarian aid instead of actually pursuing stability and European autonomy.

Everyone is a serf including me and you, there is no escaping it, why are we bullying the image of Russian versions of it when your race is no different

In fact they are doing quite well over there under the BRICS bwanking system, wish we could all opt into that bank internationally.

Don't forget our common enemy is the international banking and not where a serf lives

The Obama administration empowered payment processors in order to censor its opponents, since the constitution applies to a much lesser degree on "private" companies.

It is just a result of the WEF trying to establish their own world government
They are trying to force control through payment processors and digital ID >>717956237
