Is there any other payment method that works? Use them instead. If no, then just boycott MasterCard and whoever else, it’s not like you’re going to be able to buy your games anyway.
Dang, looks like I actually have to do some reading.
Steam accepts major credit and debit card brands, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
Digital wallets, such as PayPal and Skrill, offer a convenient and secure way to make payments on Steam.
Steam gift cards can be purchased from various retailers, both online and offline, and can be redeemed on the Steam platform.
In addition to these payment methods, Steam also supports other region-specific payment methods, such as iDeal in the Netherlands, Sofort in Germany, and WebMoney in Russia.
I wouldn’t know, I don’t buy games ever since I found out I didn’t buy games, merely licensed them. Which is kind of ironic as I would assume most of the censored games are available on the high seas.
They’re a lot smaller by comparison. Not a lot of places accept American Express (and the few that do tend to do it for an increased surcharge), where many more would take a Visa/Mastercard.

Sadly both Mastercard and Visa have supported this practice and thats the 2 big ones.

Looks like there is a way. Is there a will?
Use your Mastercard to buy yourself a Steam gift card then buy a product that is offensive to Mastercard with the gift card.
Now you’re thinking with portals!
I haven’t heard Amex mentioned in any of this so, I guess they’re ok?

Good point, they have a reasonable purchase and backup policy.
