Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.
Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

This thread says we should be aiming to keep payment processors phones occupied for a week to get them to notice and then go from there! Let's check off today together and call back a few places 🫡
Remember that people were reporting that visa is already begging us to stop.

So, WFM guy here, I crunch call center numbers all day and advise management on performance and staffing requirements. Here are some concrete goals to keep in mind with any sort of calling campaign: 🧵

I took the "confused and asking questions" route on the phone with Visa today and in my initial questions, I didn't mention video games at all and the person on the phone said "Visa doesn't block payments to video game sites" so I KNOW they're floundering under these calls.
Cheat Sheet v.2
nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information

“Don’t call because it won’t work” => MasterCard and Visa both have started saying things to get people to STOP calling. Whether “we escalated and are expecting a policy update” or “here is a boilerplate statement we read to our callers”
If they didn’t care, they wouldn’t be deescalating us

Getting messages back from the Better Business Bureau that my complaints have been forwarded to their respective companies and that they have been asked to reply promptly. This is an avenue where we can copy and paste but change processor names and was very easy.

You guys should subscribe to this labeler, helps you see when someone is just tracing AI. It's completely unreasonable to expect the average person to spot this stuff, but it's nice to have a label applied just to get a second look before you RT or boost someone.

As the impish Holly sucks her into risky scenarios at the busy university library, Libby finds herself edging toward exhibitionism. Just how far can they go before they get caught? ⤵️

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate.
The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵

this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal
