You can do that currently. Steam already supports the exact process you described: top up your steam wallet and buy games with steam wallet balance. Actually, there are things you can only buy this way (some in-game items, not sure if it's to workaround gambling accusation or just coded so for no reason).

The issue is Visa/Mastercard/whoever is pressuring Valve isn't happy about the very existence of incest games. They don't want to be associated with incest/rape even indirectly.



So are they banning erotic fiction books too or what? I guess the tradwifes actually secretly read that stuff though…


If there was a prominent online marketplace for homegrown literature, I would bet there would be corporate pushback against selling incest themed porn on it. But I don’t think there is such a marketplace so it’s a very hypothetical question.

If a book publisher was selling erotic fiction about children online, you could bet your ass they would have a hard time with payment processors.

I’m not sure you have a case with this argument.


If you read the founder of the "feminist" group she thinks that 50 shades is the equivalent of the book of Satan but about raping women.


There's a book of Satan?



Eh yeah the Levayen Satanist book exists but I thought they were referring to a religious book from the archaic Bible ages. That'd be much more interesting to read!


if there is, im buying it


So she read it? I tried but stopped at 10% or so :)
