More than a request, I think it’s a deserving clarification. We’re getting mob outrage against Valve, Itch.io etc… while it’s just Visa/MasterCard/Paypal laughing on everyone back.

Thanks reading my TEDx

    They could have implented this solution:

    If you use payment service X you can only buy games A, B, C

    If you use payment service Y you can buy all the games

      My understanding is part of it is that payment processor says stop doing it or we drop you all together. Not a we won’t be involved but lose them as an avenue.

      Their way or highway, no real middle ground posible

        The short term strategy would probably be to introduce Y payment processor and make it the preferred method of payment. Encourage it’s use industry wide and encourage consumers to adopt that method as widely as possible.

        If that takes off… Then they can tell the other processors to get fucked.

      Part of the problem is that there are very few payment services and they all seem to be doing the same thing.
