Bree dlc is compatible with gog version?

Hey, maybe try BLIK as an intermediary. Payments should flow from most EU countries and all Revolut users worldwide. This is one alternative.

Hmm, I recently raised the issue of Mastercard and Visa with my MEP. I even got a response that they were investigating what could be done through official channels. I hope something actually happens. Mastercard and Visa are crying over the constant phone calls already. 

You're making me want to start this initiative. Anyone who wants to signs and shares should respond to the post if enough people respond,  I'll  get it started ;)

In EU you can use BLIK :D very friendly and fast payments. 



They should change this info :D "itch.io is an open marketplace for independent game creators. We are completly dependent on our masterscard gods and will force any policy they ask us to. It's completely free to upload your content but we can always delete it without warning if visa gods ask us to. Read more about polices we are force to respect and remember they can change without any notice." something like that.

Yep, but you need no simple petition but a citizens' initiative. Mastercard and Visa blatantly broke art. 102 TFEU. 

To start we need at least 7-8 ppls.

Hello all,

In my opinion, any standard petitions today are pointless.

Instead, we need to follow the example of campaigns like "Stop Killing Games," which effectively targeted developers. We need to approach Mastercard and Visa in the same way.

We need a citizens' initiative that covers a broad area, like the EU, and that has real legal force. We need to clearly and loudly demonstrate that corporations are already violating EU antitrust laws, and draw the attention of those in positions of authority to this. It's not a matter of potential threats—it's already happening.

Fines of up to 10% of global turnover are possible—a scale that can appeal to any corporation. This is a much stronger means of pressure than any "collective shout."

Feminists from Australia—they didn't attack content creators themselves, but targeted the money that flows from this content. It was an effective strategy. And we must do the same – hit the revenues of payment processing companies, because only then do we have a real chance to oppose what is currently happening.
