MasterCard lied? No they would never

Anyway, thanks MasterCard for introducing me to porn games a few weeks ago

There was an entire subreddit devoted to porn games but it's not made it over to Lemmy.

Maybe once I get laid off I'll start a community

If it was about money, MasterVisa would have already given up. There are people who claim that MasterVisa bent the knee to Collective Shout for the sake of money, yet when a much bigger demographic speaks, MasterVisa tries to ignore it.

This is about the power to shape society.

Ana Valens recently resigned from Vice following an article about the censorship of games. On social media, she shared communication between Mastercard and Riot Games.

Looks like Vice can't be trusted as a reliable source of information if they're willing to fire journalists after a little outside pressure is put on them.
