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 care about bad PR. Angry, organized people can create lots of bad PR.

    Look, this whole subthread is jumping to conclusions based on speculation. Maybe they are using legal strategies, but that’s not obvious.

            Copy the whole thing:

            How do they apply pressure though? (they threaten to sue)

            Beside the fact that it wasn’t even you, they made a specific answer to that question as if it was authoritative. They were not “just asking questions”, either.

              You’re being needlessly pedantic. If it makes you feel better, I can ask the question again:

              How do they apply pressure?

                  You didn’t answer anything about why they would care about PR. Is it your position that people would stop using CCs because some entity got noisy about them being used to buy pr0n?
