All from this tiny account, too.

I had 0 followers 3 days ago, and I still have only 30.

But it only shows how passionate people are on this topic👀

NEW: Earlier today, Mastercard denied playing a roll in the Steam and itch.io purging NSFW games.

But Valve now says Mastercard communicated concerns indirectly through payment processors and banks.

A possible explanation of what exactly happened

An adult game creator, "ASLPro3D," shared this on Twitter.

A possible explanation of what exactly happened between Steam, Internet Merchant Account, and Card Companies.

It's really long, and I'm not used to BlueSky, but let me try to copy paste the content.

Given their unbelievably wide influence and previous history of censorship, I wouldn't be surprised if they are hidden players behind Steam censorship and Internet censorship.

BlockRock, State Street, and Vanguard must be punished to the ground.

An adult game creator offered a very possible explanation for this.

This is unverified info, but it sounds very interesting.

This doesn't change what we should do.

Even if the story is right, and THEY told IMAs without research.

Visa and Mastercard carelessly made an extremely important decision, which impacted millions of people.

Keep calling them! I'll try to look for IMA info.

SO… in part, Mastercard is being truthful here… they likely DIDN’T contact Steam or Itch.io directly, instead, they likely just contacted the Internet Merchant Account/Processors and told them to ‘make this problem go away’… so the Internet Merchant Account/Processors did

I KNOW THIS because I am one of the creators and used to be one of the owners of Renderosity and Renderotica and I had to do this B.S. dance on the whims of banks, processors and credit card companies on a regular basis… even as far back as 1999/2000.
