The moral policing of games and other digital art by payment processors like Visa and Mastercard never actually went away following a spike in delisted and deindexed works on platforms like Steam and Itch.io earlier this year. Even if it were walked back overnight, the fact that this happened at all has sent many creators and stores searching for safe, reliable alternatives to handle sales. Japanese site DLsite, specializing but not exclusively dealing in adult games and comics, has found one by making its own.
As Automaton reports, DLsite announced a new payment method on October 6. The (machine translated) announcement reveals "Minna no Bank Payment," a payment method derived from a new branch of the Japanese digital bank Minna no Bank (loosely translated as Everyone's Bank) opened by DLsite's own parent company. DLsite really up and said it would build its own theme park with blackjack and hookers, but this time, it didn't forget the park.
