Valve: “We need a credit card on file to prove you’re 18”
Me: “My account is 23 years old”
Valve: “That just proves your account is old”
Me: “A credit card just proves you know someone with a credit card”
maia // magmaus3@SecurityWriter meanwhile this one has had a card long before turning 18

@maia aren't you, like, not British?
Steam requiring a credit card is only in the UK. where people under 18 cannot get a credit card by law. they can have a debit card, but Steam demands specifically a credit card for age verification.

@lunareclipse @sodiboo @maia my guess is it's a language issue
in france for example, the only distinction language wise between debit card and credit card is in your bank, to anything outside, it's just a bank card

@SRAZKVT @lunareclipse @sodiboo @maia from one of my bank, I have three different cards
A girocard
A debit card
A credit card
And these are all sometimes accepted/not accepted by different stores all over Europe with no clear pattern
