As much as I'd love to, ain't going to happen. KYC payment and non-voip phone number lets them minimize the number of cheaters. That would probably be the official PR reason from them when it's more about building a profile of your gaming taste and habits and selling that data to 3rd parties.

if they are doing that, monero support would not make that harder to do
TBH I think pr0n and cam sites should lean in to Monero.
Dude can you imagine if OnlyFans decided to accept Monero. Other companies would immediately follow
they need a phone number to sign up wnd are properaitary. shouldnt those be more focused on before talking about payments?
Well I agree with the open source aspect of this but they are a us company and us companies have to have some form of traceable payments or at least to attach the payments to an identity whether it be online or your real actual identity so the phone number stuff is never going away.
And I'd suspect that if they ever did accept monero or other Cryptos as payment they'd have to use a 3rd party payment system like coingate which doesn't avoid the problem of 3rd party payment processors overstepping their boundaries.
If they set it up to where they did it all themselves the IRS would almost certainly make them KYC you to accept any crypto payment.
It would still be awesome to happen though because even though it wouldn't be completely anonymous it would avoid dickhead corporations trying to control my thoughts through controlling what kind of media I can consume.
