Ew, no. Proprietary currencies are just a way for companies to trap extra money into their ecosystem. It’s not a solution to anything. Just an excuse for additional bullshit.
Also, Steam already has this and has for a long time.
It literally doesn’t, as those companies can make these demands for whatever reason they want. The problem to solve isn’t “how do we appease the unreasonable processors”, it’s “how can we stop relying on these processors entirely”, and that’s a much bigger issue than Valve can solve on their own.
Also, again, Steam already has this system. If that isn’t enough to avoid the issues, adding another proprietary economy certainly won’t.
Not only is this already in place, Steam literally proposed it to unsupported territories as a way to bypass the issue.
I thought that was borderline unacceptable, honestly, but so is everything else about the whole payment processor mess that’s going on for no good reason.

it literally skirks the entire issue that a credit card company can tell you, as a vendor what you are allowed to sell and or not sell…
propse a better way to circumvent a payment processor from telling a vendor what they are allowed to sell then instead of just saying no.
