None of that is relevant to the other comment's point that these companies should not have that level of authority to dictate what we can or cannot purchase. If it is legal to purchase, then payment processors should not be allowed to deny the purchase. Period.

I'm not even sure those titles are legal everywhere.

Allowing digital purchase of illegal products can very well be criminal for the payment processor in certain regions.

I mean just look at those titles. "Incest daughter - BDSM".

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Which is why the retailer, Steam, already restricts certain regions from buying titles if they are deemed illegal in that region.

Again, it is not the authority of the payment processors to dictate what people can and cannot purchase. Period. No excuses or justifications will be accepted.

You are still refusing to acknowledge that regional legislation can easily prohibit purchases from sources that facilitate illegal products.

I have never heard of a case where payment processors refuse to authorize payment of a legal product because they don't like the product.

Do you comprehend how big of a problem it is if a payment processor can't authorize payments to steam? That's not something they do for the fun of it. It's because there are legal hurdles. Everyday they can't authorize payments is lost revenue, and risk of losing customers.

I'm sorry, but you will just have to source your incest porn games from somewhere else.
