Any words on the UK steam age verification?

Still cant access certain restricted items, hell even on my discovery queue, random games seem restricted while others dont.

But all that's besides the point, why the hell can i still not verify my age, it's been months now and its getting ridiculous. Has there been ANY news? Apparently UK parliament is gonna talk about it but god knows that's gonna go nowhere.

Is steam still set on their half arsed method or are they actually gonna do something worthwhile? I can imagine there's been alot of people go to other services due to steam's blatantly poor and lazy decision regarding this.

Well, that's not Steam's problem.
Blame your government for creating the requirements to age verify to begin with.
Steam is simply picking the quickest and easiest way for them to abide by UK law.
“Quickest and easiest”, my point exactly. It lacks efforts and inclusion for UK citizens. I also never said my lack of access to CCs is steams problem, just proved the people who said I can’t get a CC wrong.

Valve has already shown they have no intention or interest in dealing with government IDs to age verify users.
Look at German users, the German government only accepts government IDs to age verify and Valve does not want to be responsible for that level of private info from users.

And your account age is not a legally recognized way to verify your age.

If you don't have a UK issued credit card, you cannot verify your age. This has not changed. It likely will never change.

Well obviously, that's the whole point of my post. It's bull tbh, i cant even apply for a credit card, neither can a large amount of UK citizens, and out of those that can, most wont. Making that mandatory to access certain games, many of which shouldnt even have this stupid restriction applied to, is downright idiotic if not simply lazy.

They can keep the CC verification for all i care, i, along with countless other UK steam users, just want an alternative that can actually be feasible.

Valve doesn't want to collect IDs for privacy reasons.

You asked if it would change:

I gave you your answer. If it was so obvious, why did you ask the question?

Now, given that the alternatives all require you to hand off HIGHLY personal information to third parties -- third parties that have proven they cannot be trusted with that information -- can you not see why Valve don't want to go that route?

If there is truly a problem with the majority of UK adults not being able to get credit cards then you take that up with your banking ombudsman. No one outside the UK can fix that problem for you.

Nothing stopping you from getting a credit card.

Pick other stores that will ignore the UK law, worst case scenario if they block those stores use a vpn to see the content and buy it.

And Steam blocks users from using VPNs to buy things.
Pretty sure many other online stores do the same or in a limited fashion.

All you did was state the obvious, not an actual answer. I asked if there has been any news, you just stated what the original policy was. There is indeed a problem with CCs in the UK, but our banks won’t do anything about it. People have tried.

“Quickest and easiest”, my point exactly. It lacks efforts and inclusion for UK citizens. I also never said my lack of access to CCs is steams problem, just proved the people who said I can get a CC wrong.

See now this is an answer I can accept. Thanks for actually telling me valve’s intentions. Thankyou.

Granted, still disagree with the policy but it is what it is I guess.

Also, I’m very aware that account age doesn’t mean actual age, that’s never really a point I made but okay.
