"Just dig the hole, hole digger"

Jesus girl would side with the payment processor.

Damn, am I really going to have to start going to bank regularly, getting cash from the cashier, and boycotting card-only places.

Meh, I guess I've nowt better to with my time.

They’re payment networks, not payment processors

Isn’t this misinformation?

They just missed very old news about how games that depict illegal activities do not really cause people to do illegal activities. Therefore they can't be illegal themselves.

Still itch.io deindexed all nsfw games

Edit: Okay so they now reindexed them.

Today, we are re-indexing free adult NSFW content. We are still in ongoing discussions with payment processors and will be re-introducing paid content slowly to ensure we can confidently support the widest range of creators in the long term.

sure is, fraud even

Plus, where do you draw the line?
Social media where users discuss illegal activities? Movies that depict illegal activities?
There are a lot of illegal activities in the bible.

and stripe apparently plans to allow NSFW content in future, which is super promising.

I hope itch.io finds an alternative in the meantime though

So... that means they do ... what? Network the payments?

Would you rather they had shut down because nobody is able to pay them anymore? They complied with the demands for the time being because they have a business to run - and then they immediately started looking for a solution.

They provide the digital infrastructure to have payments and money flows

Payment processors are other companies which use payment networks to process said transactions. Then often have their own rules which are more strict than payment networks

And the difference that makes for me is what?

One of these moron payment companies is going to realize what's up sooner or later.

Patreon is for creators to do creative stuff professionally. Onlyfans tried to be the same thing. The only difference was they allowed NSFW stuff. Now guess which one pulls significantly more revenue?

If you become the payment processor for NSFW stuff, you can do whatever the hell you want and still be rolling in cash.

I wonder why the payment processors went on the backfoot.

Immediate and harsh criticism.

I committed genocide in age of empires 2 yesterday, but lewd games is where I draw the line!

That it isn’t Mastercard and Visa's fault but the payment processors'

Making this meme disinformation

allow

Shouldn't be their decision in the first place. Process the fucking payments, payment processors.
