GoG doesn't, and a couple of other high-profile sites don't (Amazon for example), but the vast, vast majority of card payment forms on the Internet require a full address as for fraud prevention. Do you not often buy things on the Internet?
- Ygg2 13y agoI do buy things often using GoG, or Amazon, or Kickstarter or PayPal. I've never had to enter my address before. Hell, smaller companies asked for address but never checked it against my CC info (which is outdated anyway). I never had to enter the correct address for one of them. I want to donate, but this form just bounces me I've so far tried at least 10 different combinations. I have no idea what bank entered as its information.
- vertex-four 13y agoPayPal definitely asks for a full address when you sign up or pay by card directly. And I don't know about Kickstarter, but I just checked Indiegogo which I regularly use, and they require a full address for billing. My understanding of the system is that usually the address can be wrong so long as your card/connection/purchase/etc doesn't look suspicious, but different payment processors have different fraud profiles, so some might pay more attention to the address than others.
