Fans of specific games have new hope.

Last year, many games with adult content were removed from Steam. This happened under pressure from payment systems, which were influenced by activists from Collective Shout.

Recently, systems like Visa and Mastercard have again come under pressure — this time from a US official. The Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Andrew Ferguson, sent out letters and reminded companies of their obligations to customers.

A quote from the letter was published online:

«Depriving law-abiding citizens of the opportunity to conduct legal business and feed their families simply because they have aroused the displeasure of individual officials, fanatical activists, or, worse, foreign governments seeking to control public expression — is contrary to American values. That is why President Trump's Executive Order of August 7, 2025, on combating debanking, directly affirms that it is unacceptable to deprive law-abiding citizens of banking services because of "political views, religious beliefs, or lawful entrepreneurial activity."»

Players hope that after this, Visa, Mastercard, and other companies will reconsider their policies and stop putting pressure on sellers. This could lead to the return of adult games to Steam and other stores.
