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.

Newly added rule is:

Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content.

If Steam or someone went to crypto just to kick the processors out, that might be one thing that would actually make me look at crypto with something other than derision.

That was originally one of the intended purposes of cryptocurrency, or at least claimed to be. Too bad we can't have anything without needing to make it an investment engine.

Government essentially guaranteed that by classifying it as such, e.g. SEC regulating crypto

Huh? Investment people definitely didn't wait for that classification to start turning it into a speculations market. The SEC actions were largely reactive.

My local bank's investment and wealth management bros were already all about crypto long before regulations.
