The Financial Stranglehold

Every major payment processor is being pressured to comply

Already Weaponized

These processors are actively enforcing content bans

Under Pressure

Currently being lobbied to join the censorship regime

⚠️

Soon there will be nowhere left to run

When all payment processors comply, legal content becomes effectively banned worldwide. No appeals, no alternatives, no escape.

Why This Matters

Creative Freedom Dies

When payment processors dictate content, artistic expression is replaced by corporate compliance. Indie developers lose their ability to create challenging, adult-oriented content.

Precedent for Worse

Today it's NSFW games. Tomorrow it could be violent games, political content, or anything else activists target. The infrastructure for censorship is being built now.

No Accountability

Unelected payment companies are making decisions that affect millions. There's no appeal process, no transparency, and no democratic input.

Economic Devastation

Thousands of developers, artists, and small studios depend on adult content markets. This threatens their livelihoods with zero warning or recourse.

Fight Back

1

Contact Platforms

Tell Steam, itch.io, and other platforms to resist payment processor censorship. They need to know gamers support them.
