Still hit the flags of a recent German ban.According to pretty much all sources, it was indeed Dlsite that initiated the block, though they claim that they didn't want to, compared it to the situation with Russia in 2018, you know your country is winning when its compared to Russia, no solution in sight currently. The most likely scenario from what I have read is that its due to Dlsite selling pedophile content, which yeah it absolutely does, Germany doesn't take too kindly to that, which is a mindset that normally would have my support if it wasn't for the fact that its A, pedo content about fictional characters thats technically harming nobody, and B, totally optional with plenty of products that do not have it.
While being unable to purchase from DlSite is quite annoying, it is managable, hell I even save money with it, losing some comfort but getting something out of it too given how easily available many products are within a day or two of release. Not all releases can be found online though, especially not the smaller ones, at least not by me, and not being able to support devs on Ci-En anymore either because the only non credit card way to do that was Dlsite points sucks a lot, for both the devs as well as me.
Edit: could be a mutual "fuck you", while the ban is recent, talks about it would have been going on for a while.
For PayPal, my wild guess is that they learned how many people use the workaround and want DLSite to stop it.
