Appreciate it, thanks for checking!

I’d wager this person who spoke about it to me is on the younger side - probably early 20s, so some more of this is making sense.

I also believe Steam doesn’t allow Visa Debit - at least, it doesn’t here, so perhaps it’s the same over there.

I just want to be clear, what my post meant to say is that it’s (apparently) not as common to use a credit card like you would in North America (basically a necessity if you want to get a car, apartment house, etc).

This person that I got the information from was very up in arms about this, so I’m not sure why they would lie about this. Again, I looked this up after. You can find posts about people discussing this very issue from a month ago.

My whole point wasn’t even about the credit cards. It’s about the anti-privacy laws.

Thank you for some further explanation.

Regardless of this, I believe these changes should be protested. None of this is ever looking out for children, and I’m sure if stuff like this succeeds over there, it’ll just be a matter of time before we’ve got the same thing in the Americas.

I don’t know what to tell you, I got my information from an Australian, and everything I’ve seen online confirms this.

I’m not an expert, I’m just being told this from an Australian. They do have credit cards, but it’s not as much a necessity to do things as it is in North America. So, from what I’m told, a lot of adults don’t have one.

For anyone that doesn’t know, currently because of stuff like this, people in Australia can’t even access their Steam games that they’ve already bought unless they have a credit card, which I’ve learned most people over there don’t. Valve isn’t allowing the third-party ‘steal your data’ options like face scan and government ID, so Australian folk without a CC are out of luck.

Australians, please fight back against these anti-privacy laws. If these are successful, they’ll come to other countries.

I was the opposite. Loved Hollow Knight but couldn’t get into Nine Sols. I tried for about 5 hours before deciding it wasn’t for me.

Recently been getting into MIO, which has been great.
