Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content

I don’t disagree with you on the first point. I put “unlawful” in quotes to imply that lawful/unlawful is ambiguous and gives Mastercard the cover they need to not really be lying in their statement, even if effectively they are.

Its corporate doublespeak to a T.

I get that you weren’t disagreeing on the main point. And I think we agree that Mastercard is trying to have the cake and eat it too - it wants to be a censor without being acknowledged as such.
