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.

    AmEx & Discover. I don’t know if steam takes them, though.

        I can’t recall the last time I saw a place that doesn’t.

        The problem of finding places that take amex or discover is not really a problem these days.

          They still exist but it’s usually small mom and pop places for AmEx, in my experience. Just because they take a slightly bigger cut.

          That’s good to hear, just haven’t noticed their logos for years while visa/mc logos seem to be everywhere.

        A lot of places won’t take them because they both of those cards have higher fees.
