This summer, various adult games began to be removed from Steam and other services. Activists from Collective Shout put pressure on VISA and Mastercard, after which payment systems began to influence stores that distributed "incorrect" games.
Gamers began to get indignant, some began to make attempts to stop such censorship. Users began launching petitions, including those addressed directly to the governments of their countries.
Gamers from Great Britain, Canada, and Australia (it is noteworthy that Collective Shout is an Australian group) have been noted. They demand to «Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services» and «legislate that payment processing companies cannot set terms of service regarding the sale of otherwise legal content».
