Collective Shout pressured major payment processors like Mastercard and Visa, leading to the removal of many adult games from Steam and Itch.io. This sparked significant backlash from gamers who suggested that using cryptocurrency could offer a solution for developers affected by traditional payment restrictions.
As part of their ongoing campaign, Collective Shout has indicated plans to also pressure crypto payment processors in the future. This move raises questions about the centralization of payment methods in the gaming industry and its potential repercussions for both game studios and the LGBTQ+ communities that depend on diverse content.
