Gaming needs us again, friends. If you’re here, you've probably already heard that Visa has pressured Steam to remove a bunch of games. This kind of censorious attack on art shouldn't be allowed to stand. The Visa customer service number is 1-800-847-2911. Rumor has it that they are paying a third party call center to handle their traffic, and that they are paying by the call -- which would mean that a flood of dissatisfied customers calling in is actively costing them money. Calling is easy and fun! Of course don't harass or insult the customer service reps; just politely yet firmly make it clear that this is unacceptable.
I'm doing my part!
You raise good points. I agree that this may not immediately get the results that we want. However, even for a corp as big as Visa, it will be very annoying to suddenly spend an extra couple of million on call center bills. There is apparently also a bill introduced that targets this behavior: the Fair Access to Banking Act. If we make enough noise, we can potentially help advance something like this -- and make Visa have to believe that it could actually pass. That's another few million for lobbyists.
Additionally, if there is enough public outcry, it's possible that competing payment processors may spring up to take advantage. Musk was already involved in the early days of PayPal, for example. He has the resources and experience to potentially start a competitor (probably tying it in with X). Or Gaben has been directly impacted by this, and has the resources to potentially change Steam cards from Visa branding to Steam branding. Again, even if this was just hypothetical, we may be able to make Visa believe that this stuff could happen, which could itself force them to straighten up.
This is also the type of Direct Action which will have those on the Left be able to cry 'Reform!", 'Change!" and 'Oppression!' but with an actual hook as it is an intersectional attack directly from the hegemonic elite they claim to hate (When it suits them) across an entire class hierarchy.
