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
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.
Your original post sounds like a nitpick about the term “processor”, not about who is actually responsible (which you aren’t actually certain about either). Idk, maybe elaborate next time.

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
sure, but far too much trust is given on some journalistic sources which just spread a potential lie without checking further
The way it was explained to me is that porn sites are a more secure source of income which trumps every other concern.
I don’t believe many people chargeback adult games on steam and itch
