    Which is why the retailer, Steam, already restricts certain regions from buying titles if they are deemed illegal in that region.

    Again, it is not the authority of the payment processors to dictate what people can and cannot purchase. Period. No excuses or justifications will be accepted.

      You are still refusing to acknowledge that regional legislation can easily prohibit purchases from sources that facilitate illegal products.

      I have never heard of a case where payment processors refuse to authorize payment of a legal product because they don’t like the product.

      Do you comprehend how big of a problem it is if a payment processor can’t authorize payments to steam? That’s not something they do for the fun of it. It’s because there are legal hurdles. Everyday they can’t authorize payments is lost revenue, and risk of losing customers.

      I’m sorry, but you will just have to source your incest porn games from somewhere else.

        And you’re missing the point where payment processors aren’t the police. They are not the ones to make any decisions like that, yet they do.

        Point in case: hoe many payment processors allow legal porn?

        It’s easy to jump onto child pornography, but it’s completely missing the point.
