It has been multiple months since the UK implemented their flawed law, and despite steam continually saying it's a 'new' process and were looking into weaknesses, a massive weakness in their credit card only implementation has been pointed out multiple times and they still have not done anything to fix it.

The issue being, shockingly, some adults in the UK don't have a credit card.

The fix being: Having any other system. Photos, Ids...

I raised a ticket about this when it was implemented and got completely ignored.

Fundamentally credit cards only isn't even a good implementation, as anyone who remembers the battlefront 2 loot box scare recall, where there were too many accounts in the news of children using their parents credit cards to cause massive debt to them. Example: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-48908766 .

I cannot understand how this flaw hasn't been acknowledged yet, it's not like it's complicated or hard to fathom the flaw.

As someone who only buys games now inaccessible to me due to me being unfortunately born in a country stupid enough to implement this flawed law, Steam/Valve's stubbornness to ignore this issue is feeling like persecution; for someone who just wants to buy stupid hentai games.
