Is this the start of the end? there is a lot of talk on the forums of people saying they cant or wont get a credit card so what happens when this gets implemented in the USA?
Epic allows you to use your webcam to get a photo of your face, do you think users will migrate there?

If only they still sold games inside boxes that you could buy with cash in a store and install offline and their only form of security was some dumb CD key that you could get around if you lost your case. But I guess muh convenience was totally worth it eh fellow steambros? I know some fag will bring up later forms of disc drm but that’s why you were supposed to boycott those releases. Not abandon physical entirely and jump onboard an even worse system.

In Japan we get around not needing a credit card by just using the "pay with cash" option.
It emails you a QR code you take to the convenience store, they scan it and you pay with cash.

This is so fucking stupid because Valve implemented this from a clearly American perspective:
>Well, everyone has a credit card, right? Let's just have them verify with a credit card
But Australia isn't America. In America, debit cards are rare while credit cards are everywhere; in Australia it's the opposite. Who the FUCK even uses credit cards in Australia? Valve just fucked over their Australian sales by mandating CREDIT cards.

Someone should sue Valve and say requiring a credit card is discrimination against black people because their credit scores are too low to get credit cards.

Speaking about this whole identification and actual motives behind it, I'm genuinely curious about incoming EU idea of "digital passport" that would only provide "this user is over 18" info to sites upon asking without any other private information. On paper this sounds like good solution to this whole "how can we provide method of age verification that won't ruin people right to privacy?" dilemma, in reality I'm honestly curious how Meta and other companies will react once it's out, given that their primary goal is to harvest as much data as possible.

Normal independent adults have credit cards, its a buffer if you have some unexpected expenses one month. You can go temporarily over what you have in an emergency and then pay it back the next month. Its quite tellnig the amount o0f people who don't even know what one is never mind have one. Either not independent adults or some kind of third worlders

So why are anons bitching and moaning about this when they know full well the normalfaggots wont do shit about this or vote to stop it and will simply comply? Might as well look for other platforms since steam and valve are compromised and will eventually do the same in their countries and globally.
