    Because many “players” are refunding after a fap, which is logged and reviewed. Also, suspicious or new transactions are often flagged and reviewed. So a lot of such side content is being pushed in front of the banks and payment processors by horny clients who unwittingly expose their kinks.

      If a large number of refunds came from a single source it seems like Steam would be the one addressing the issue, not payment processors.

      Seem like an easy solution would be to have certain transactions be nonrefundable.

      I say easy, but I guess it would involve quite a bit of software changes, and then you’d also have to deal with angry customers who ignored numerous warnings that a purchase would be final.

        That’s even less consumer friendly. If you purchase a game and it turns out to be shovelware that barely works and has a bunch of gamed reviews on the store page? Oh too bad sap, you got conned this is non-refundable.

        Consumers had to fight for games that do refundable, I don’t think we should be quick to consider loopholes.
