It’s not overreacting. Valve has to guess what Mastercard finds objectionable and what not. Guess wrong, and Mastercard could ban them.

MasterCard probably makes too much money from Steam to permanently ban them.

Maybe, but would you risk it? Also, there’s a payment processor in between. Like Valve, the payment processor needs to guess what Mastercard finds objectionable.

Honestly, yes. If they’re having to guess what is or isn’t allowed, it’s only a matter of time until it actually happens.

And sure, having a Visa influences my stance on what Valve should do! Haha
