So now there’s no way to buy Steam credit without a card?

It’s cool trying to stop scammers, but I feel like this move could hurt privacy.

There are digital payment methods that don’t require a card.

I remember when I was a child there was “paysafe”. Where you paid to a physical machine and get a code to spend online. I imagine it still exists.
