    since Mastercard and Visa would absolutely block them if they tried it.

    They didn’t block Steam back when it accepted Bitcoin, or even complain afaik

      Steam wasn’t using it to bypass their policies and demands.

        Yeah, but it wouldn’t be realistic to say “we accept crypto now and also are refusing to comply with credit card content policies” right away anyways, because that would just lose them all their business. The better plan would be to do what they seem to be doing; comply in the short term as best they can, while simultaneously looking to branch out with the payment options they accept, so that at some point in the future credit card companies might have less leverage.
