Gamers Flood Visa and Mastercard with Calls After Steam and itch.io Ban Adult Games

Following Steam and itch.io's crackdown on adult games, gamers have launched a coordinated campaign targeting payment processors Visa and Mastercard. Players are bombarding the companies with phone calls and emails, aiming to pressure them into reversing their policies. While the payment processors claim their actions are to comply with regulations, gamers argue the impact is too broad, potentially affecting other games. The campaign, heavily discussed on platforms like Reddit and Bluesky, demonstrates impressive organization, with gamers sharing strategies and even creating scripts for contacting representatives.
