Uh...just use your credit/debit card directly within steam?

Why rely on the scummiest third party payment app that's ever existed in the world?

I agree with the sentiment, but the reason they're looking at third party apps is to avoid the control that payment processing companies have over censorship following the whole Visa/MasterCard issue.

I can keep buying porn games on steam with my third world country credit card. 🧐
