More than a request, I think it’s a deserving clarification. We’re getting mob outrage against Valve, Itch.io etc… while it’s just Visa/MasterCard/Paypal laughing on everyone back.
How do they apply pressure though? (they threaten to sue)
Beside the fact that it wasn’t even you, they made a specific answer to that question as if it was authoritative. They were not “just asking questions”, either.

Where did you ask a question in this reply chain?
Not me but
Copy the whole thing:

You’re being needlessly pedantic. If it makes you feel better, I can ask the question again:
How do they apply pressure?
I answered that above already. Good bye.
