>Steam is discontinuing gift cards which means you won't be able to buy games anymore without a debit or credit card>Consoles are becoming so expensive that the average person is no longer buying themI foresee bad things happening here. Very high chance we will witness another crash.
God, I hope so.
You can purchase a prepaid visa gift card with cash or go make a deposit into your bank account and do a direct bank payment.
>>741442583LEAVE VALVE ALONE !!!
I've had a paypal connected to my bank account since I was like 14, stop being poor
YOU DUMBASS
>>741442583This show is painfully unfunny
>>741442583>Steam is discontinuing gift cards which means you won't be able to buy games anymore without a debit or credit cardOnly a problem for underage retards and third worlders.
>>741442795needs ID
>>741442583If you put your game on steam, the platform where you rent, not buy, your games, then you deserve to have it pirated.I do not 'rent' games for full price.
>>741442991it's about anonimity retard
>>741443176Shills will say shit like this and then cry when things don't go their way. As long as you get that measly paycheck, right?
>>741443176>tfw I get gift cards from gift exchanges at work and use them for Steam
>>741442583Who the fuck doesn't have a debit or credit card?
>>741443336Idk what you won't because every time I tried to read it all I saw was brownoid poorfag seethe
>>741443204>Anon doesnt already have a bank accountDo you live day to day by sucking dicks for cash?
>>741443384Everyone has a debit but only stupid people use them. Credit cards are only good for building your credit score but if you don't care about that they're worthless.
>>741443384See >>741443176
>>741442795>>741442991>>741443176>>741443384Have you never received a gift card for anything?
>>741443403Jews are not smart people.
>>741443464Imagine acting like you're above anyone when you rent digital games from Gabe.
>>741443493I'm not underage so no, Im not regularly being given Steam gift cards.
>>741443628I meant gift cards in general.
>>741443573My original Steam account is long gone, but I've never had more than 10 games and most of them were made by Valve.
>>741443464Do you even understand what a debit card is, Ranjeet?
>>741443685Do you? Feel free to explain.
My bank lets you order a visa debit connected to your account free of charge. Unless you're in a third world shithole you have no excuse, and even if you are just fucking pirate anyways if you're that fucking poor.
>>741443652Then you're a retard because this thread is about Steam gift cards apecifically.
>>741443464>Everyone has a debit but only stupid people use them.Explain, I wanna know what retard logic went into this statement.>Credit cards are only good for building your credit score but if you don't care about that they're worthless.So you've just decided that you'll never buy a house or car?
Adult here and I own 7 credit cards, why should I be mad?
>>741443725>i-i totally know what it is...but you explain it first!
>>741443773>So you've just decided that you'll never buy a house or car?Correct. Cars are endless money pits and new homes are overpriced trash.
>>741443773>Explain, I wanna know what retard logic went into this statement.He cant, he doesnt know what a debit card is >>741443725
>>741443879>fucking over future you because you have sour grapes now
>>741443792can you buy me a video game
If you're using your debit for anything other than identification, you're a fool. That's all I'm going to say.
Pretty sure you can buy whores with Steam gift cards.
>>741443879Sounds like poorfag cope
>>741443997>having the foresight not to get scammed like boomers means you're ruining your life
>>741444026>retard decides he's smarter than everyone else but can't even articulate why
>>741443423you don't need to have your parents on steam retarded zoomer
>>741444026There is no place on Earth where you can legally ID yourself with debit.>thats all I'll sayGood because you're a retard and should shut the fuck up
>>741444060>if you have nice things it's because you're getting scammedSad cope.
>>741444046I am poor, and I'm at peace with that. I don't care for competition with the likes of you. It matters not in the grand scheme of things.
>>741442583neither of these have anything to do with the game crash. it cannot happen in the conventional sense people are imagining. what can happen is AAAs with ridiculous budgets finally dying off.
>>741442583People actually go or drive all the way to the store just to buy gift cards with cash so they can buy some indie shitter for $5? What the helly?
>>741444118The bank makes you do it, genius.
>>741442583Honestly at this point I welcome it. Give the industry a hard reset and go back to nerds in their basement making video games as hobbies and passion projects for a small niche audience
>>741443997>fucking over current you by playing Jewish debt games that only profit [[them]]. You're kind of dumb but you do you bud.
>>741442583Milk chan wheres the rent
>>741443423Having transactions tied to bank account or credit card company, lol. Better get used to being a slave in the future when they start blocking buys for saying that really mean thing called the truth, in public.
>>741442583You dumbass!
>>741444437Suit yourself, dumbshit tourist.
>>741444167>needing a credit card to have nice thingsSad.
they are disabling gift cards thanks to SEA and Indian Shitskins constantly scamming Grandma and grandpa steam basically said that is the reason.you can't except high trust society things in a world filled with people who take advantage of it and brag about doing so
>>741444550>they are disabling gift cards thanks to SEA and Indian Shitskins constantly scamming Grandma and grandpaWhich is why theyre all crashing out over it in this thread rn
>>741444517Damn, sick burn credit nigger enjoy your interest rate.
>>741444437>I'm blowing most of my paycheck on rent that I'll never have anything to show for but it's the people who aren't who are getting scammed!!!
>>741444550That's fine.>Steam sales plummetNothing personal.
>>741444629>implyingSure bud keep gargling your credit lords cock
>>741444628I pay off my credit card every month so I actually have a credit score, thinking you're being smart by never having one is a classic retard move.
>>741444629>what is property taxEveryone is fucked until another revolution happens.
>>741444712>playing Jewish debt games for [[their]] amusement and profit is actually good.Next you'll say insurance is good too cattle
>>741444508Yeah, I'm sure they would not just arrest or fine you for that, but instead hit you where it really hurt: actively block you from making your precious Steam purchases.
>>741444508>I dont have a job or the means to pay for anythingAnd yet you are on the internet. Go fuck off and live innawoods if you really believed in staying off the grid.
Are you sure? I have not bought these in ages but I still see them very often in most computer and gaming stores. is it in certain countries?This used to be used to be given as gift, so I don't see why they would remove that
>>741444908Living off grid costs money.
Ranjeet it doesnt matter how many times you use the words "Jew" and "Jewish," you are still poor.
>>741445000By 2027 they will all be gone. Google it.
>>741444871This literally happened if you were in the North American trucker protests as a bystander lol.>>741444908Cash is great, I have never gotten an ID theft on cash, while I get jeeted every time I use a credit card on some pizza joint. I pay currency when I can.
>>741445087Don't see anything on the official Valve newsletter. are you sure you are not getting bamboozled? There's a lot of fake news being made around Valve
>>741445000checked
>>741445187Look harder. It's the second result.
It was due to scammers, another thing to blame on them.I used to buy them when I was young as I didn't had a credit card at a time. I wonder if they will find a way to bring something back for those who still like to buy things physically.
>>741444790You do you but when you're regretting being such a pigheaded retard later I hope you remember that I warned you.
>>741444727Property taxes are horseshit but they’re also minuscule even in places that set them high to offset not collecting other taxes.
>>741445504You called people kids I guess they have to run out now and get a credit card.
>>741445562>regretting I have never once regreted my actions or choices. If I was going to regret them I wouldn't have committed to them. I'll hear no more words from you pig dog cattle jew slave whore.
>>741445645They're no different from rent. Go ahead and ignore them and see what happens.
>>741445504>browns and wannabe Jews ruin yet another example of western society trying to be niceIt’s all so tiresome
>>741445738>I have never once regreted my actions or choices.t. every living jew
>>741445092You know stuff like Google/Apple/Samsung pay gives a temporary number on transactions so even if someone manages to intercept the encrypted transaction, the number is worthless after the transaction is authorized, right?
>>741445763Do you really not understand the incredible difference between building home equity and paying rent? Property taxes burning off some of your money still leaves like 80% of your mortgage payment applying to a real asset, compared to rent which leaves you with nothing ever.
>>741445092>This literally happened if you were in the North American trucker protests as a bystander lol.And Steam still offering gift cards would have helped this situation how exactly?
>>741445092Anon you can dispute fraudulent charges if your credit card number gets stolen.If you arent monitoring for that shit you've probably had your identity plainly available to the highest bidder on the fucking clearnet, hopefully you dont use your bank passwords anywhere else that has been long since compromised.
>>741445847True but it doesn't stop the bank blockages. Also giving more data for those 3 and their datacenters at this point is like going in for a suicide pact. Ill wait a bit before using techbro solutions.
>>741445504For now they added a feature to give digital cards without needing any account, if you need to gift things to people there's that. But it doesn't beat physical.>>741445686Woudn't it be a "debit card" instead? Like, the weird locked cards things.That actually could be an alternative to this. Some kind of rechargeable Steam debit card coming from an official steam debit card machine, that can be feed with physical cash and credit cards. the machine then add money on the Steam credit card. Japan has a few things like that.But having such machine would be really costly and complicated to put in stores. It would make things a lot less common than regular gift cards.
>>741445908Why are you defending the broken system? Are you, mayhaps, a jew benefiting from said system?
>>741445986Yea but the fact that we have to take extra time of the day to log in/call and go through this ritual just to pay for shit is kinda retarded.
>>741446139What kind of shithole backwater country do you live in such that you need to make a goddamn phone call to swipe your card
>>741446139It is retarded, and don't let them hypnotize you into thinking otherwise.
>>741446045There is nothing broken about owning property you shitbag commie, especially compared to the alternative which is owning NOTHING. Enjoy being a rentoid debt slave for the rest of your life I guess.
>>741446242I will. Enjoy your property tax, fool.
>>741442721Kek jocko is based
You can pay in cash for Steam and even Amazon in Mexico
>>741446139Where the fuck do you live
>>741446016So you're insane. Check.
>>741446404How does that work, you mail them the money?
>>741446525That doesn't work anymore, jew. Being called crazy is like a badge of honor at this point.
>>741446139And constantly withdrawing cash, walking around with wads of cash, paying for things with cash at the counter, buying gift cards with cash so you can use those for internet purchases, is not a ritual?
W-Why are people agaist cash now?I refuse to believe these are not just bots or terminally ill contrarians now
>>741446657They're also actual jews who get paid to post here.
>>741446657>nowWhere i live the only people still regularly carrying cash around are people in their 50s and older.
>>741446586QR code or/and Bar codeyou go to the near store (Oxxo for steam), pay in there with cash, that's it
>>741446802That just sounds like buying a giftcard
While it's probably more cumbersome, I'm sure there's still way for people to buy stuff without owning a card, they must know there's still a very small percentage of players doing that.Though I don't really see why someone would really do this if they have a credit card like 99% of Americans, unless they are some kids.
>>741446859well, it works fine and Oxxos are everywhere
Same boring tactics over and over. 200+ iq by the way.
>uhm actually I'm free from the jews because I use cashNot when they also control minting and central banking retards
>>741447219Wrong
>>741446859>>741447057also the QR/bar code is generated with your order, so you take a pic, print or just open the app, and pay in there, its easy and it works, sometimes it takes some mins for your order to appear paid but that's a minor issue
>>741447046Asia still uses cashLatam still uses cashEurope still used cash, and its being aggressively taken away for obvious reasonsUSA by all means, should use cash but holy shit people there just do it for the sake of being lazy and in debt>>741447219cash is national, actuallyalso gives some privacy, yeah you are not to have millions lying around, but its the best to micromanage spending, for me at least
>>741447592>USA by all means, should use cash but holy shit people there just do it for the sake of being lazy and in debtYou realize in the US that using debit isnt debt, right?
>>741447660im obviously talking about retards just using credit for everything and just paying the minimum
>>741447793>>741447592do not redeem
