For those who want to buy a game on Steam, there are usually two options: Either they pay for their purchase directly online, for example with a credit card, Paypal or an alternative. Or they buy Steam credit at the local supermarket. However, Valve wants to abolish this for good reason: Steam is abolishing its legendary credit cards because they were not only used for games
