The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

Always love the a/i disclaimer at the bottom of Steam pages

"a/i imagery was used for store images, the game is a/i-free"

So, you're saying you spent months, if not years, pouring blood, sweat, and tears into your game, but when it finally came time to promote it, you just...couldn't be bothered?

My advice, as a former call center supervisor, is to fish for ways to escalate your call to a supervisor. Upper management HATES when the supe call cue is long. We used to be in perpetual callback hell back where I worked and they constantly devoted extra resources to combating it.
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

if youre calling paypros and looking for a talking point to use as a jumping off point, this is a great angle to go for!

alongside just wasting their time, hammer the idea that their actions are LOSING them money!
I know it's more about clogging their phone lines but I also feel like telling them their stupid policies might prevent (or HAVE prevented) you from getting certain Black Friday deals and that you feel forced to seek other payment methods MIGHT be a good angle for this point in time specifically

IGN is paying attention to censorship again. Use their momentum, call visa and mastercard, tell them you read the article, ask them why they're censoring legal stuff

reminder that you don't need to know specifics of what's at play. It's often better to sound like a normie

with Black Friday being this Friday the 28th, this is the time to maximize the impact we can have via call campaigns

If you plan to participate in this call campaign, imo you should heavily prioritize calling Visa/MC as heavily as possible between the 27th and the 1st of dec

Corporations are relying on shame to stop folks from fighting to keep porn around. An amazing way to fight against this stuff is to simply not be ashamed of sex and sexuality; even if you think some of it is "cringe". You'll do yourself a favor by eliminating your shame about sex.
When you fight censorship, you're also fighting for things you might not exactly like and it's something you gotta get comfortable with. I promise you, the fetish game you turn your nose up at is NOT YOUR ENEMY. You must think of the bigger picture, you must not fall for the bait.

Ive seen some posts like DCS says here, trying to draw a line between Horses [extremely bullshit] censorship and various more explicit games on Steam [with the implication being that THEY deserve it but not Horses]

Please. Those other "nasty" games are your ALLIES not your enemies.
Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.

Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

The Steam build approval process is the most insane, unpredictable things about the platform and the opacity around how to navigate it if you're submitting anything remotely transgressive is unreal. Truly feel bad for Santa Rangione, whose main mistake was assuming Valve is staffed by grownups

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.

I haven't been directly posting about this anymore because I honestly can't express how this makes me feel without getting banned. But if you think this stuff will resolve itself, it won't.

Call campaigns need to come back. This is not just creators at risk. This is everyone.

We all have something to do. While anxiety problems, it will allow you to get some of that fun revenge about how hard they have made it to talk to people because every second you're on the line is another second they sweat.

Keep calling, Everyone, 1 call a day. That is all it takes!
