Mastercard’s ties to the esports world have led to more evidence of censorship. A source leaked messages from the Riot Games sponsor to livestream channels during the Valorant Champions Tour. The payment processor asked moderators to delete messages accusing it of forcing the ban of Steam games.

I feel like we came to the same conclusions for very different reasons…
molloch is the personnified logic of someone doing something selfish for their personnal gain, but when everyone does it, everybody loses. In this case the belief that one can churn rewards and come out on top with using a credit card but the result is that ALL prices are jacked by 3%, nullifying any apparent rewards, at best you can claw back a little bit of this corporate tax. But here’s the kicker, if you don’t have a credit card, the price is also jacked, because credit card company do not allow passing the fee to end customer. So non-credit card user, still pay the 3% tax, it just gets pocketed by the vendor. I cannot overstate how evil credit card company are. When I am Earth dictator, all credit card employees will spend time getting acquainted with a brick wall
uh huh. but why? why express it in biblical fluffery, when it’s faster (and clearer) to just say the greedy selfish bastards?
if it means the greedies get shot before me I can accept this.
