Comment on itch.io now seemingly affected by payment processor rules as Steam

soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

Are there trustworthy sources that it’s VISA/MasterCard, or is this speculation?

I mean, I would not be surprised at all, since they have a history of misusing their power (iirc they were the reason OnlyFans nearly went SFW), but before calling names, I’d like to be certain.

  Sorry for being pedantic, but the only confirmed information in that article is “payment processors”. The author seems to just assume that this means credit card companies (what is a reasonable assumption, as said), but it does not sound like that part is confirmed…

No longer an assumption - from itch themselves: itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content

  They only mention “payment processors”, not Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,… So, this does not answer which payment processor(s) are behind the push.
