Valve asked mastercard for direct communication.

“Hey, your partner is citing your terms and pushing us to pull certain titles, you ok with this?”

Not responding to that is a response.

You really buy that?

Valve asked mastercard directly.

A lack of a response is also a response, in this case essentially an endorsement of whatever their partner was telling Valve.

Even moreso when that partner is citing mastercard terms.

May not have been mastercards mouth, but it was LITERALLY their words.

If they had something to add, they had their chance. They’re only officially saying anything now that they have to.

Yes.

Plausible deniability.

“Oh so sorry that wasn’t us, one of our partners just overzealously applied our policies”

What?

Of course they did.

They just did so from behind a veil of plausible deniability.

You think a citatation of a specific mastercard contract clause came from a concerned partner?

It’s not even that vague.

Valve basically said: “we are not doing anything illegal”.

To which mastercard responded: “yeah but you’re making us look bad, so tough”.

Oh wow that is A LOT more similar than I was thinking.

That would have been Quantum Break. I don’t recall Control having any one cutscene that long.

But Quantum Break did the whole video-game/TV-series hybrid media thing, and was full of “episodes” that were essentially 30-minute cutscenes.

Like for real.

Were the people who actually do nothing really the ones to get axe for once?

You are being stopped from stopping people playing their games.

That’s a double negative bruh, as in, it reduces overrall limitations in the world for what people are allowed to do.

I like your Heather Mason. You’ve found a perfect level of detail to make these work.

Like they’re just barely “too detailed”, making them just a little unsettling, the way horror game art should be.

!gameart

Have you done other characters?

You say “your style”, so my first thought is to wonder what else you’ve done since must’ve done enough to land on a style.

Edit: ah, found your other posts! Feel free to cross-post to gameart, we want to see and celebrate all the art that games both contain and inspire.

This isn’t change.org or a twitter poll.

It’s an official EU citizens initiative, hosted on the EU web portal. The one maintained by the EU for the very purpose of digitally facilitating any and all citizens initiatives.
