  I don’t know how much truth there is to it, but one compelling reason I’ve heard is that adult content has a considerably higher chargeback rate than other content, making the risk much higher for payment processors. This makes sense - I could absolutely see some horny person buying some adult content, getting off to it, then doing a chargeback in their moment of introspection.

    But that’s only using like 2 minutes of the 2 hour return window

    Wouldn’t the cost land at valve? I guess not with a chargeback, but no way someone creates and account everytime they buy a porn game.
