You're missing the point. This is not aimed at Valve, but at Visa and MasterCard. They are businesses. They primarily care about profit, not censorship. Especially when that pisses people off. They made the mistake of listening to the vocal minority of Collective Shout, so we have to let them know that. This isn't the 80's anymore, gaming is mainstream and there are far, far more gamers than puritanical Quakers that get the vapors at the sight of anything mature or complicated. And worst-case scenario, they are not the only payment processors, just the most convenient ones for customers and businesses. For now...

Are you calling them Quakers as a derogatory slur or are they actually Quakers/Religious Society of Friends people.

A "slur"? No. But I was referring to the overly strict, hair-splitting kind of religious extremism that adheres to the letter of the law, not the spirit/intent.

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

So yes, you did. Quakers (used to be) quite progressive.

Okay...? Democrats used to support slavery.

They flipped their beliefs with Republicans. That's a unlikely occurrence.

I do still wait for an answer.

It was 3 in the morning here. Relax.

Edit: Oh, you just wanted to argue. Definitely sorry I was late for that...
