Valve's Steam Gift Cards have been a staple in major retailers throughout the world for quite some time. But today, the firm confirmed they're being phased out.
We see today how bad it is to rely so much on visa and paypal for steam payments when they can control what they want and what they don’t want to see being sold on steam. I think gift cards could be an interesting alternative but idk.
That concerns are also really inconsistent. They don’t seem to have a problem with cigarettes and alcohol, and are quite prepared to authorise payments to strip clubs.
But they have a problem with porn games. How does that track?

IMO we need regulation. Banks and payment processors should not be allowed to refuse service to any legal activity.
