Effecting the brand?? Who in their right mine would associate them with anything but payments? That's ridiculous
Like for real, the only reason I'm associating them with these games now is because they've actively brought it into the limelight, so we can see that
I wouldn't have even thought anything of association if they hadn't done so.
But now, anytime I see an NSFW game on Steam, I'm immediately associating it with Visa and MasterCard due to the fact that the news is that they're trying to get rid of those games, which I assume is not what they wanted, but you know it's what's happening.
This is actually ruining their brand. I now associate MC and Visa with Christian oppression
They think they're more than a money pipe.
A competitor to MasterCard and Visa could show up with double their combined budget and do what they do to massively disrupt this particular industry. The average Joe would not give half a shit and continue paying for stuff with whatever card their bank gave them just like they always have.
The specific brand of payment processor a card uses is just not a thing people care about unless they have an Amex and that's essentially because places don't always take it.
The astonishingly hypocritical part:
Guess who does payment processing for OnlyFans?
Visa.
And MasterCard.
=D
All you need to verify your id is a credit card!
Then you get all the pr0n you want!
Hope you didn't borrow one from your parents!
No child has ever thought of that before!
I associate them with religious pundites and discrimination of payments. A payment is a payment, for christ's sake! If it's illegal, report it to the relevant authorities.
