Part of the problem is that you have to make a clean break from these middlemen. Steam can't say "for these games, we only take this form of payment", it's either only sell games Visa and MasterCard say you can, or no on

Do we know if it blocks you from downloading "game key" cards? In that case you're effectively stuck with Switch 1 titles. Not that you should need a "workaround" for being punished because someone else did somethin
