OK. So you believe that the credit card industry really really really wants to be in the business of moral policing. I, on the other hand, have experiences with payment processing for NSFW material, and based on these experiences my understanding is that the CC industry doesn't particularly want to be in the moral policing business, but avoids NSFW stuff because of legal and profitability concerns. However, as an outsider I admittedly have no direct insight into what actually happens inside the CC industry. So my question to you is -- what are YOU basing your opinion on?

Based on their behavior. Nothing they do makes sense otherwise. > but avoids NSFW stuff because of legal and profitability concerns This, for example. They weren't enforcing a law, and there's no "profitability" issue as they could simply make the fees and reserves higher. So they might say that's why, but it obviously isn't the case. If it were, they'd demand a lot more than a few random handfuls of games be removed, and would target a lot more than adult content. They also would be totally fine if you sell that content through another payment method, because it's not their liability or profit at stake. However, if they're trying to censor content that isn't to their liking, this behavior makes sense.
