Default Are You Letting Visa/Master Card Know You Support Free Speech

For those that aren't aware, Steam, Itch.io, and a number of other online game vendors have been forced to remove "offensive" games from their store, because Visa and Master Card essentially blackmailed them. They told the vendors that if they didn't remove the games, they would stop processing payments for them (effectively putting them out of business).

To be clear, Visa and Master Card just decided that no adult in America can buy a video game unless the credit card companies decide it's inoffensive enough for them. If a US citizen wants to buy a video game with naked women (or men) online, they now can't, because Visa and Master Card decided as much.

Anyhow, gamers aren't happy. If you have a few minutes, please consider contacting Visa and/or Master Card (that link has phone numbers and URLs), and let them know how you feel.
