Valve have added a new rule to the Onboarding guide for game developers, noting that payment processors get a say in what stays on Steam.

    I feel like steam is big enough to push back on this?

    Like its frustrating when smaller operations get told what to do by visa and MC but steam is MASSIVE. They are not going to give up that revenue if steam says no

      Steam is nowhere near big enough to push back against this.

      You can’t argue with the people that hold the money.
