Visa & Master Card blocked Payments for steam games.

Alt text: Fancy guy with Visa/Mastercard logo on his head in suit says: I do not think people should be allowed to buy these type of games. itch.io and steam reply: nobody is talking to you. Just process the payment, payment processor.

    For the record, it sounds like Payment Processors and Credit Card companies are two different middlemen, and the Payment Processors are claiming the Credit Cards are the ones with restrictive policies.

    I want more people to know about GNUTaler. Let’s try to cut out all these middlemen, they aren’t necessary!

      credit card companies isn’t really a good term: it could cover many things

      what you’re looking for is “card networks” - that’s visa and mastercard… and you’re right; payment processors are a different part of the system
