Consumers are revolting against payment processors who seek to ban adult-themed Steam games, movies, and art. A Change.org petition aimed at Visa and Mastercard is rapidly gaining support. Its organizers also wish to limit the power of activist groups that influence these companies.
It would be nice if companies accepted regional payment options, for example, Canada has Interac e-transfer to easily transfer funds from one bank account to another, local businesses in Canada have offered this as an option for payment but anything international it’s either PayPal or CC.
Interac E-transfer is so simple to use and definitely beats having to use third-party apps like Venmo and CashApp.
Most do, Steam accepts a fair few regional ones like the Dutch iDEAL. But it barely matters if a lot of people pay with Visa/MasterCard instead.
It makes no sense for any country to give American companies money for the pleasure of processing their own internal payments.
