We already have numerous threads about this and multiple suggestions about this.

The point is most likely to have such content removed from the store, so steam wallet purchases would do nothing as it would still be for sale on the store which still uses those methods for other purchases. They'd rather lose the rape/incest/pedophilic "games" than lose the payment processors altogether.

my main problem is ye losing games from the steam store
I see this attempt from the PPs is to test if it will work or no
and maybe next they will go to games that loved by the community and they don't like
lets say for example after this they go after "Steller Blade" or "Nier Automata" or any games they find "offensive"
thats what I don't like to see and afraid of, them controlling the store
which I don't think valve will let them do that

A blessing to be honest.

why not instead of removing the games that the PP don't like
instead, they become only buyable through Steam wallet or any PP that approve of it

for example

Game A and Game B

PP approves of A but disapprove of B

Game A can be bought with Steam Wallet and through PPs
meanwhile Game B only through the Wallet and any PP that approve of it

Valve isn't going to create a multi-tiered purchasing system where some games can be purchased with some FOPs and not others. Too much user confusion. I mean you see it every time payment options change or are removed. And to do it at a per game level would make the store inconsistent and that's generally not a good experience.

I expect the affected games just aren't going to be worth the fuss. Just like Valve didn't bother creating an elaborate age verification system for German users and adult games.

And as far as mainstream games getting banned, you're gonna have to wait until it happens. What-ifing might be fun, but it's not always very practical and is not very good at predictions. It is quite possible for people on the sidelines to overreact and it's clear lots of people are prone to doing it.

Arguably this might be a blessing in disguise for Valve, they might have had thoughts of curtailing certain products and explicitly stating existing policies from payment processors that aren't really new is a way to not be the bad guy. Because if Valve had made the judgement call themselves, look how people are acting... and now all that impotent energy is mostly directed elsewhere and is confined to making ridiculous suggestions that aren't really feasible.

Censorship is never the answer and just makes people double down.

And it's a good decision, there are plenty of places for trash like that, no need for it to be on Steam.

OP.. The PP's don't know what game you're buuying./ They just know a game they disapprove of is sold at that particular store so they will essentially not process any payments going to that store.

Which in your example means you wouldn't be able to load money into the wallet anyway.

The situation isn't 'The payment providers don't want their cards used to buy those games' but 'The payment providers don't want to do business with a company that sells these games'

This seems to be your favorite talking point in regards to your discussion. I've seen it in dozens of your posts related to the subject. Quite frankly just looks like virtue signaling so that you can look morally superior to people who are rightfully complaining about corporate overstepping and censorship.

Keep defending it bro, it'll look real good when they start going after more than just gooner games. Maybe you'll even get a few good boy points from Visa.

It is hardly a sincerely held belief as the same people saying this were quick to say "Just let people enjoy things, puritan" in the periodic "Get rid of all porn games on Steam" thread.
