Signing Mass Effect @ Essen! @ithayla.bsky.social · Jul 25

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

we can beat them

phone numbers and a script:

⚠️Are you a creator who risks censorship by payment processors whose work is available on their own website, or even just a creator who prefers to distribute independently?⚠️

SHOW ME YOUR WORK! I am making a list so people can easily find you!

Reply or DM with links, or fill out the form in thread.

WE ARE MAKING A SITE LIST! If you are an indie game developer/ creator affected by steam and itch.io's crackdown on NSFW/erotic media and you are going to put the mesia that was taken down by the site or yourself on your own site OR a general itch.io creator who has their work available on their own website, send me the link!

the number below doesnt work, as Stripe has changed their number, and is demanding a $2.99 fee to even tell you what it is.

however, this number DOES still work and will let you leave a message:

(877) 887-7815

I actually received a callback from Stripe within a few hours! I got a direct call from a single Stripe employee who was very kind, but the non-personal number he gave me to file complaints or to ask further questions for US consumers is:

+1 (888) 926-2289

Be polite but make your voice heard!

Do you wanna contact Stripe? They don't have a phone number from what i have dug around for (please put it in the comments if you find it), but here is their complaint form.

If you're an accountant or something for a small business like me, remind them why you won't use or are moving away from them

Yeah, I worked in customer support and, if it's a 'peak' of one day, they will not care. They'll wipe their hands and say "ok, volumes are back to normal, it's fixed"
If after a week they are still receiving pressure... Then they'll begin to get nervous

Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social · Jul 24

we are going to need to keep up this 'yelling at payment processors' energy for more than just today

Ideally, we will need to keep up this pressure over a span of a few weeks

As many people as possible, each making 2-4 calls a day, for a few weeks, is going to make the biggest impact

The saddest thing about this itch censorship is that it hurt the devs that made the most efforts to put warnings on their games, to keep kids away, to protect people who felt uncomfortable by certain subjects. The more warnings a game had, the more it seemed to be punished for it

as someone who answers phone calls for a living by the way my suggestion is don't just all do it at once, if you want to piss them off you need to not forget about it in 3 days. maybe set a reminder to call them in a week or something

Yes, Favor is still being worked on 🫡💕

As a reminder, I have been posting monthly updates to Tumblr b/c they are a bit too long-winded for twt.

This month I wrote 28,591 words, the game now has a grand total of 200k+ words, and I'm still going! #favorvn

ask me about Pixelart programs if interested in that aspect specifically because you *definitely* don't need PS for that, lol

Someone I used to know died lately and I guess the only way for me to process it properly was to write something. "Black Coffee" is out now. Tell someone you love them today, or whatever feels best for you.
