Credit Cards are basically the only real option for payment online. If you want to reach 95% of people purchasing things online, you must go through a Payment Processor - so Visa, or Mastercard, who had quite the kerfuffle with Steam & itch.io during the waning days of summer
Putting that aside for a second, I want to talk about the many times in which companies acted in contradiction to their customers' desires. Countless occurrences of corporations completely missing the mark on where their statements, values and actions should be.
Whether it's Bud, Target, Gillette, YouTube, or one of the many other companies involved in the corporate equivalents of 'Ukulele Apology' -tier PR moves over the years, the lesson remains the same:
*NEVER FORGET WHO YOUR CUSTOMER IS, your own values and beliefs are irrelevant against what they want.*
Back to the topic at hand, Visa & Mastercard have been quite heavy-handed in handling various questions of commercial ethics over the years. Again - regardless of what you believe or value - I can't help but grow increasingly concerned with how much these 2 companies are allowed to mess with our modern Bread & Circuses
People aren't doing well - continue to not be doing well - and increasingly reach for others when looking for the exit.
This trend will only be accelerating - HOPE YOU LIKE SPEEDING

LOOK I'M SORRY FOR THE WAIT, I HAD TO MOVE - Very busy last month+, but I'm finally back at it! I promise to post more
I did do a few big things while away - programmed a MacroPad to speed up the mindless repetitive parts of editing that drag on so long, got my audio stack sorted (as if it's ever finished...), and started learning how to score my own videos! I ran out of time for this video, so the background music is the same 7/4 MIDI horror chords I downloaded, chained together & ran through a variety of VSTi's I &DEFINITELY LEGALLY PAID FOR*
...give it time, and I'll (ideally) get good at it - God willing
