The group responsible is “Collective Shout”, the same org has targeted Steam before.

There are calls on social media now to contact Mastercard, Visa and co. and file complaints.

    Can’t wait for an EU alternative to Visa/Mastercard. Heard Wero is supposed to be that. Europe can’t decouple from US garbage fast enough.

      we already had that: Eurocard. they needed to pay mastercard in order to be compatible with their terminals, and that relationship ended with mastercard just absorbing them.

      they were started for the exact same reason that we are talking about, to get a european alternative. so obviously the answer is not free market-based.

      I hope that as an American, I would have the option to use Wero for all of my purchases. I simply don’t trust my government.
