i and a groupd of about 300 THOUSAND others are currently working on a MASSIVE callout against Mastercard and Visa regarding this blatant abuse of power. no real people are being hurt with these games, so why in the world should it be illegal to buy them is the question we are asking at first. i have people inside of Collective Shout (around 700+ atm) that all gather information, and they all say the same thing. they are doing this not for concern or because they find it disturbing, but just to hurt people that make actual money off of it with their work. by doing this, they are not hurting the people that deserve it, but EVERYONE, and that is absolutely unacceptable!
trust me, i am working my hardest to fix this. i have even sent a message to PayPal regarding this to get them to rethink joining in on this stupidity. i am also in contact with Valve, and specifically Gaben himself believe it or not regarding this whole thing. i have suggested adding their own Payment System, or even outright making their own cards and Payment Processing Company to combat this madness, to which i assured them that they would 100% succeed with if they did. this would also pressure Visa and Mastercard out of the competition as they have shown what hand they'd rather choose, similar to how modern women chose the Bear, we gamers would rather choose Valve if we had the option. with this, Valve can outright gain the largest share holding in the entire world, and that is a good thing.
now, i want to make a Petition, but i legally cant due to some binding issues in my own country, so that is out of the picture as a whole. but someone should 100% make a petition and make it go viral. any and all input and sharing of this opinion WILL make a difference. every single voice counts. if Collective Shout is gonna scream injustice against something they know nothing about and only care about to spite specific groups of people (not unlike what racists do actually, or Hasan for example.) then so can we, and a heck of a lot louder then they ever can. they number in the tens of thousands. WE number in the millions! let's make OUR voice the loudest and show them that we do not take any of this nonsense in any way, shape or form from people like them who do all of this out of nothing but uneducated spite!
