It feels weird defending Spotify as I have always disliked them and preferred YTM
Yes. Can you imagine my surprise when my drug money suddenly became mainstream? You could also buy weapons and order an assasin online.
I still don't know a single photorealistic game except for some military simulators or flight simulator
Just like with debt, we can just raise the ceiling and the problem is fixed

~~Another side note - If it was Visa/MS themselves, they could not switch to other payment processor as all card payment processors work with visa/ms.~~
~~Steam is awfully silent, but that's pretty normal of Gabe, transparency has never really been the strong side for Valve. Then again, steam never mentioned Visa/MS. In fact, they never mentioned any company names, only itch dared to do that, but seeing as both got hit at the same time, you don't need to be a genius to figure out steam has likely the same problem as itch.io~~
UPDATE: Valve finally responded. MS now clearly looks complicit in this. There is some serious chain of blame game going, the whole thing seems rotten. What's seriously worrysome about this is rule 5.12.7 mentions mutilation of a person or body parts, which would potentially also put many shooter games under the ban. Still unclear where Visa stands in this and if they're involved.

Apparently payment processor. Singular. Stripe. Visa/MS never changed it's policy and still allows NSFW content, they're not even a payment processor. It feels a bit bonkers now that internet bombed them when they weren't even involved with this mess and it was just Stripe. On the bright side, itch.io already announced they're ditching them and are in talks with other payment processors.
Pretty sure that's actually a crime since kids can't be on platforms, which is why companies ban you if they find out you're under 13.

Did you just insult them? Counter-ban

For some of us out of loop - what is deadnaming?
