Steam should accept bitcoin or some other crypto as default for all titles and only use card for "safe" titles

Steam users are mostly tech savvy enough to do it

Gamers on Lemmy think Steam is THEIR corporation and Gabe is THEIR billionaire. You get downvoted for criticizing steam for anything, or even pointing out that they’re a corporation run by a billionaire and they don’t actually care about you.

So… why tell payment processors exactly what was purchased? Why not call it “Steam store transaction” and that’s it?

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

in some previous times something like this happened (I forgot specifically which), visa/mastercard would deny all payments with a platform until whatever offended them was removed (don't know if they only threatened that or actually followed through)

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They shouldn’t be allowed to do that. They should be required to process any legal payment. Even the icky ones.

If the US used something like pix, MasterCard, visa, etc, wouldn't have any power to do this, but they want to make Brazil delete pix from existence. Interesting.

Edit: grammar
