Steam's censorship issues have broken PayPal support in some regions

Steam's censorship issues have broken PayPal support in some regions

The article discusses the recent issue with PayPal support on Steam, which has been disabled in certain regions due to a decision made by one of PayPal's banking partners. Valve, the company behind Steam, has stated that the bank's decision was made "regarding content on Steam" and is related to previous comments made about Mastercard's policies. This suggests that the ongoing censorship battle on Steam and Itch.io, where certain NSFW games were delisted, may be linked to this PayPal issue. The article notes that while Valve wants to offer PayPal payments in the unsupported currencies in the future, the timeline is uncertain. The article also suggests that the bank's decision may be a response to similar pressure from conservative activists, as was the case with the Mastercard issue.
