Valve's New Aussie Age Verification: My Thoughts
0
So, Valve has decided to make age verification for R18+ games in Australia all about credit cards, and honestly, I find that pretty frustrating. I get that they’re trying to comply with the law, but tying this to credit cards feels really exclusive. It discriminates against a lot of adults who might not have one—whether it’s due to financial reasons or just personal choice. What about those of us who prefer to budget with debit cards? Sure, you can still buy keys from other sites, but the whole process just feels like a hassle. It’s high time Valve reconsidered and provided more flexible options that can cater to all gamers, not just those with credit cards.
