This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

A source reached out to me claiming MasterCard contacted Riot Games about the ongoing Steam/itchio controversy. MasterCard is a major Riot esports sponsor. This is the message going around internally from Riot, paraphrased:

* MasterCard has asked Riot to keep an eye out for negative sentiments on official Riot streams
* Riot has asked esports content creators working with official Riot properties to watch out for any negative sentiments toward MasterCard
* Moderators have been told to look out for any unusual activity around the MasterCard issue

ChatControl is back, and we have GOT to fight back

The EU wants to scan our private messages, removing all forms of encryption using the same shitty "wE mUsT pRoTeCt ThE cHiLdReN" excuse

We have got to spread awareness, and you gotta contact your EU Parliament Representative

Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use
