They already have a lot of rules in place about what their cards can be used for, I'm actually surprised they didn't do this themselves.
Comment on Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs
PonyOfWar@pawb.social 1 week agoBut why do Visa/Mastercard give in to them? If it were governments, or even a very large popular movement I’d get it, as there might be consequences to ignoring those. But Collective Shout is really quite small, there would be no backlash to just ignoring them. I guess maybe they have powerful connections.

Either Mastercard and Visa already agreed with them and just needed to be pointed in the right direction and needed an excuse OR direct action actually works by being persistent and annoying enough.
