If you want actual good features like deep research or chain of thought, eh, not sure it’s a good choice

The models will also not be very powerful

This is basically a "if you don’t want your data to be used, run your own internet" comment

It’s just not doable for pretty much everyone

Their ship sinks with them

I don't believe many people chargeback adult games on steam and itch

afaik Valve and Itch have not disclosed the names of their payment processors, so no way for me to know, and companies could lie anyways

Idk, maybe elaborate next time.

sure, but far too much trust is given on some journalistic sources which just spread a potential lie without checking further

That's what is infuriating to me, don't point your fingers at a random company and say they're responsible if you don't know

From my opinion it clearly seems that the payment processors got scared and preventively banned those games while saying it was network rules, while the network refutes those claims.

I’ll inform myself further on the subject but it sounds weird that visa and mastercard would ban those things. You’re able to purchase pornhub subscriptions with your visa/mastercard card (which can only go through the designated network on your card), so why wouldn’t you be able to purchase other type of adult games? So far all instances I’ve seen of banning have been from payment processors. Saw a post where a network said that they accept anything that’s legal

😍

That it isn’t Mastercard and Visa's fault but the payment processors'

Making this meme disinformation

They provide the digital infrastructure to have payments and money flows

Payment processors are other companies which use payment networks to process said transactions. Then often have their own rules which are more strict than payment networks

What? Again
