Speak with your wallet if you disagree with these bans
Money is our only power here. If you can not stop spending money on games at least cut your spending in half. Most people disagree with this ban and if just half of those that disagree stopped spending money on steam I promise 100% steam will wake up and fast to solve this issue in a fair way.

If Steam wants my money they need to tell Visa, Mastercard etc to shut the ♥♥♥♥ up. If I purchase a game and it gets censored afterwards (yeah I'm talking about you Ready or Not) I demand a refund no matter how long its been since I authorised payment.

If my demands are too much, fine. I won't purchase games on Steam anymore.

That would still be a much smaller loss than getting banned from using VISA and MasterCard.

Valve is not going to risk their business no matter what you do.

Valve needs Mastercard and Visa. Mastercard and Visa do not need Valve. Boycotting Valve will achieve nothing. Even if Valve refused to bow to the payment processor's demands, they would just pull Valve's source of revenue, and Steam would be shut down by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, good luck getting by without Visa and Mastercard in your life. Chances are your bank card uses them. You could just use cash, but what percentage of commerce is online these days?

This problem needs to be solved in legislation. Support the Fair Access to Banking Act[www.congress.gov]. Call your state representative.Write those on the senate committee for banking, housing, and urban affairs. Spread the word. Everyone who needs to know should be made to have zero doubt as to where the people stand on this issue.

Then Valve doesn't need customers apparently.
Oh yeah, VISA and MASTERCARD are friggin evil. QUICK EVERYONE. LETS ALL BOYCOTT STEAM.

You do realise those payment providers would not even notice if Steam went under?
I suggest getting cash and buying Steam giftcards if you are able. then you are bypassing Visa and Mastercard and even paypal.

So a very small group from Australia just influenced visa into effecting millions of gamers developers and billion dollar companies but you have no hope and just give up. Your attitude is exactly why they win..Very sad...

If you want to fight. Actually fire at a target that is actually worth firing at. Boycotting Steam is laughable at best. Valve's hands are tied, it's not a fight they can truely get involved in. That's your fight now. Call whoever cares about this if you want things to change but valve ain't it. All they can do is protect their lifeline.

lmao, "stop using money".

You'll have to boycott Mastercard and Visa, boycotting Steam is silly. I mean, I get it, but Steam's hands are tied.

You think it's bad now, wait until these laws start going into effect and you will have to ID yourself to use the internet.

On the upside, it should do away with a lot of trolls.
