Mastercard’s ties to the esports world have led to more evidence of censorship. A source leaked messages from the Riot Games sponsor to livestream channels during the Valorant Champions Tour. The payment processor asked moderators to delete messages accusing it of forcing the ban of Steam games.

    I read that this is actually coming. I forgot what it was called though. Fingers crossed.

        I have seen it mentioned quite a few times on websites. Can you actually pay normal shops using that?

          I’m afraid it’s not expanded to many countries just yet :(

          Maybe a few in Switzerland. I haven’t seen any news about it specifically.

            We have our own system, Twint. Wero was based on it, but so far they’re not interchangeable.
