Fuck'em, as someone has said, they should start their own payment process

Marking this down specifically against Valve is not the way to go.

For example Walmart shutting down whole stores simply to stop unionization (and their evil propaganda they run for their poor employees).

Imagine an Assassinโs Creed where the several thousand body count referred to the number of satisfied sexual partners rather than decapitated guards.
