Visa and Mastercard just declared war on your freedom to choose what you buy.



Crypto is the way out — here’s why:

A very troubling precedent happened.

A group of unknown feminist activists called Collective Shout published an open letter, urging payment processors like PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard to ban payments for NSFW games on Steam.

Just a short while later, up to 27,000 NSFW games were completely removed from Steam and itch .io.

Valve (Steam) has confirmed:

Credit card companies pressured them to delist certain adult games from the platform.

Interestingly, back in 2021, Steam banned NFT and blockchain games for the exact same reason.

Because they’re under pressure from what are essentially payment monopolies.

Steam’s survival depends on them —
and the payment processors know it very well.

--------------------------------------------------------

Payment processors like Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal hold significant influence over what products and services can be sold online, often enforcing their own policies on content, morality, or risk, even when the items are legal

--------------------------------------------------------

This isn’t just about NSFW games.
This is a warning shot.

1. They’ll keep banning whatever they don’t like.
2. Payment monopolies will choke out everything they can’t control.
3. Crypto payments aren’t the future — they’re the only way out.

Traditional payment systems can’t be trusted anymore.
They censor, they threaten, they dictate what’s “acceptable.”

Crypto ends this madness. Let's raise our shields to protect freedom.
