That's a common narrative but how do you explain Steam?
- quickthrowman 1y agoMaybe the chargeback rate on porn games is lower than actual pornography, the credit card statement will just say “Steam” or “Valve” instead of ‘Monthly subscription to kink.com”. Do you really think that Visa and MC are ethical organizations who listen to whiny Christian conservatives about porn? They’re giant money making machines, and porn is legal. If it was profitable, they’d allow it, their shareholders would demand it.
- wmf 1y agoWhat's your explanation for why Visa/MC specifically demanded incest games to be banned from Steam? They can't even see which games are causing chargebacks.
- ryoshoe 1y agoTheir shareholders only demand the price stays up. Headlines claiming Visa and MC are associated with legal but morally controversial material is likely to hurt shares regardless of whether such claims are valid
