I feel like people are being too eager to wash Itchio and Steam of responsibility. Sites have in the past told payment processors to go fuck themselves and been fine in doing it, but these two sites are glorified rentseekers who care about nothing but ensuring a steady supply of free money.

Recently ICE agents appeared on a Little League field in Manhattan. Coach Youman Wilder told a group of kids who were being interrogated to get behind him and said to the officers, “You don’t have more rights than they do.”
ICE Agents Invade a Manhattan Little League Field
Youman Wilder has coached local kids for twenty-one years—including four who have gone pro. When masked agents tried to interrogate his players, he told them, “You don’t have more rights than they do....

"The industry response to Stop Killing Games has tended to be pretty dismissive," writes Rob Fahey. "The hand-waving about impossibility has been joined by some fairly bad-faith mischaracterisation of what Stop Killing Games is even asking for."

Misrepresenting the requests of the Citizens' Initiative or declaring them impossible is unlikely to fly in front of the European Commission

DON'T STOP CALLING.

email them if you want, sure, but the fact that they are requesting people to *email them instead* (presumably because emails are much easier to ignore) means that the calls are WORKING, i.e. becoming a massive nuisance and interrupting workflow.

once again, DON'T STOP CALLING.

They told me they're getting a lot of complaints about this when I called, tried to push me to do an e-mail. Politely told them I would prefer to leave my complaint by phone and they took it. Easy. If you're calling Visa, hit 0 and lead by saying you'd like to file a complaint.

we are going to need to keep up this 'yelling at payment processors' energy for more than just today

Ideally, we will need to keep up this pressure over a span of a few weeks

As many people as possible, each making 2-4 calls a day, for a few weeks, is going to make the biggest impact

Yeah, I worked in customer support and, if it's a 'peak' of one day, they will not care. They'll wipe their hands and say "ok, volumes are back to normal, it's fixed"
If after a week they are still receiving pressure... Then they'll begin to get nervous

the number below doesnt work, as Stripe has changed their number, and is demanding a $2.99 fee to even tell you what it is.

however, this number DOES still work and will let you leave a message:

(877) 887-7815
I actually received a callback from Stripe within a few hours! I got a direct call from a single Stripe employee who was very kind, but the non-personal number he gave me to file complaints or to ask further questions for US consumers is:

+1 (888) 926-2289

Be polite but make your voice heard!
Do you wanna contact Stripe? They don't have a phone number from what i have dug around for (please put it in the comments if you find it), but here is their complaint form.

If you're an accountant or something for a small business like me, remind them why you won't use or are moving away from them

I got through to Mastercard and the supervisor I spoke to said they're actually aware of this, they've received multiple calls and it's been escalated to their global HQ and they're awaiting a response. KEEP CALLING!!

Continually forcing yourself to create when you know you're on the cusp of burnout isn't helpful.

Identify your blocks (they're not always technical) and work through those first.
