    I’m with you but I also can see them useful to a degree. Children often want to get games from steam/nintendo store/EGS vbucks/etc and parents really do not want to enter their credit/debit card data everywhere under the anxiety of child abusing that card. Gift cards solve this problem.

      Couldn’t they just implement a credit system? Parent does a one time purchase for Steam bucks and then they use that until they run out.
