If people had to leave their home to pay for a Steam purchase, they’d buy a lot less. But considering how many unplayed games I have, it’s not like that would be such a bad thing… Lol
In Japan, most of the convenience stores are very well distributed making it that you often times have one close-by. Additionally, a lot of those convenience stores are 24/7 open. With it being open any time and having it close-by, it is still convenient enough if you can muster to go to a store and pay by cash. If you live in the city for example, you have one that only takes 1 to 10 minutes by foot.
That doesn’t sound convenient at all

You could buy Steam gift cards with cash.

compared to just using your card when you make the order it is much less convenient
If I had to choose between that and VISA telling me I can’t buy a game because it hurts their feefees…
I really don’t think this kind of maneuver from payment processors should be allowed at all.
Or maybe there should simply be a more diverse array of payment processors?
I would love a payment neutrality scheme a la net neutrality but that isn’t gonna happen so
not in the usa, unfortunately for you (and us in europa, heck it affects us worldwide). :(
the damn Wero shall expand faster! >:(
Much more convenient than using a card.
If my assbackwards country can do it, so can any other country.
