    Then people would have to get specific cards or crypto or whatever that aren’t Visa/MasterCard in order to buy Steam games. That, of course, is if you can get banks to agree to carry “Steam cards”. Either that, or everyone would need to buy Steam gift cards as an exclusive form of payment.

    All of these are much less convenient than keeping your existing debit/credit card to pay for Steam games, and less convenience means less sales.

        Steam removed games because visa and mastercard threatened to blaclist it, so yeah. That’s the whole point.
