Freedom To Buy Join the 48-hour giveaway and stand for the freedom to buy games.

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free.

This doesnโ€™t mean to stop calling by the way. The execs in those meetings are shifting the levers back ever so slightly so they can see where it is weโ€™ll stop calling.

Donโ€™t stop calling.

Ok I just called Visa since that's my card issuer.

1. Played dumb with frontline customer support ("why can't I buy my friends game on Steam / Itch"). They tried to dump me to email but I escalated to a supervisor.

2. Played smart with the supervisor, and caught them in a lie... ๐Ÿ‘‡

WHY?
On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells
games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the
group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,
and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing
restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell.

Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell.

If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

1. VISA:
(US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3

2. MASTERCARD:
(US): +1 (8001-307-7309
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1
Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111

3. STRIPE:

Stripe: complaints@stripe.com

4. PAYPAL:

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy. Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

I made a quick and dirty anti-censorship cheat sheet to help onboard people and direct their energy in a productive direction. This isnt as comprehensive as various websites being shared around, but it should be easy to share and save.

Visa and Stripe, in particular, are now at the point where their support numbers will go 'is this about steam/itchio?...' when called. So, it's working. Keep going. And don't fall for the trap of 'well, it's kinks -I- don't like for now, so it's not so bad!'

Heres a web page with some consolidated info/scripts/phone numbers etc made by @cereza.zone to help folks who dont know where to start when it comes to calling/emailing payment processors.

the number below doesnt work, as Stripe has changed their number, and is demanding a $2.99 fee to even tell you what it is.

however, this number DOES still work and will let you leave a message:

(877) 887-7815

Corp accountant here, Investor Relations is the team that is legally obligated to handle investor concerns.
If you have a fund with MC or Visa in it, I suggest calling and demanding to know what your compensation will be for the reduction in Earnings Per Share caused by cutting off income streams (:

They told me they're getting a lot of complaints about this when I called, tried to push me to do an e-mail. Politely told them I would prefer to leave my complaint by phone and they took it. Easy. If you're calling Visa, hit 0 and lead by saying you'd like to file a complaint.

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!
