Steam had already shown its true face, itch.io and GOG are fighting censorship alone. (reddthat.com)

Boycott Steam.

They were not even willing to fight back with the power of 5% of their annual revenue.

Steam gift cards with codes have been working great for me so far to recharge my wallet. They can switch to those

Cash-only? Off the rack, at CVS?

[–] JubJubBird@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah. You can get them at supermarkets and sometimes gas stations where I live in germany

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, I am aware they exist. I am asking if you expect Steam's entire business model to hinge on cards you have to buy at gas stations and grocery stores.

I would say it gives them enough security to test if the payment providers would actually pull through with their threat. Which as far as I know they didn't try.
