You know who could really take advantage of this situation? JCB. It’s a credit card processor in Japan similar to Mastercard and Visa. If they went to the game platforms and offered censorship free and opened up their card use in other countries, things could get interesting.

I don’t really get how this thing works, but I heard JCB uses their own infrastructure (network?) domestically and just piggyback off of Visa and/or MasterCard overseas. Is it as simple as JCB just saying hey we wanna let people living outside Japan apply for their cards?

Ignorance is bliss on both sides of that foil-wrapped turd coin.

I’ll bite: what’s wrong with the other side?

The lack of forethought when casually allowing broad censorship.

PS: I’m really surprised by the amount of downvotes given the platform we’re on so I have to assume my meaning wasn’t as clear as I first thought.

Your answer does reveal that I may not have understood your previous message, but it only confuses me more…

What are the 2 sides we are talking about here?
