How To Fix The Issue of Content Purchase Interferense.
To fix the Issue of companies that run Visa/Master Card/ any method a person uses to pay for things.... interfering with people being able to buy certain content.... All Steam (Valve) needs to do is encrypt all purchases to all those companies can see is the price of the purchase, & an encrypted code that represents the product but only Valve has the decryption software to know what game was purchased & no one else has it to find out. Problem solved. Visa/Master card etc etc can't decide what people can purchase because they won't be able to see what the product is. Now please share this message with everyone that can make it happen.

Again people really need to READ what is going on. It has nothing to do with the PAYMENT for those games. Visa/MC said they won't do business with steam if they CARRY the game.

So steam has to remove the game or lose access to Visa/MC.

TYhe COmpanies don't need to know what you purchase m8. They just know that the store sells something they don't like.

This like the other threads would not change the situation. This is also suggesting intentional breach of contract after being warned to resolve, which means they'd lose the ability to use visa/mc and also be sued into oblivion by them.

The only solution to this problem is going to have to happen at a government level. It's going to have to be made illegal for banks and payment processors to stand between customers and the legal products they want to purchase. In the US, there's the Fair Access to Banking Act[www.congress.gov]. Write your state representative and urge them to support it.

Payment processors and banks are forcing Steam to dictate what can and cannot be sold, it's surveillance, slavery, and censorship... Just let them add cryptocurrency payments!

Payment processors can't sue their clients just because they list restricted item... They will just block them from accepting payments... We need to boycott payment processors, bank, card brands like visa/mastercards to make them cancel their request to delist games that they do not want to be purchased via their payment methods! They can't rule what we buy! We are not their slaves. We must convince them that we are here for them, not they for us. They wouldn't exist if people would use crypto or other payment methods daily/mainly...

Visa and Mastercard aren't "deciding what people can buy". They don't care what you buy. You are not part of the decision process. They are deciding what they don't want THEIR brand to be associated with, which is their right.

This demonstrates a complete lack of understanding the current situation.

Please, read up on what is actually happening.

They control all commerce as middlemen. They're not going to let you hide from their arbitrary bans. Come on now. They put a lot of effort into this. They want this stuff censored extralegally, and they don't want you being able to purchase it. They put effort into making this happen.

Valve tried cryptocurrencies and around 50% of transactions were fraudulent. They're not going to try that payment method anytime soon.

People and businesses get sued for breach of contract if failing to resolve, and in this case if they did something to intentionally breach a contract like the suggestion.
This is nothing new.

They're not going to risk losing one of their biggest payment processors, especially for some "games".

Your still not reading, even if they added crypto currency back they'd lose the ability to take MC/Visa payments if they don't remove the game which is the majority of their payments.

Most people won't use crypto even if its available, credit card is the most common payment method.
