Thanks steam for locking me out over a credit card

Discussion

I am nearly 30 years old and I can't buy 18+ games any more as I don't and refuse to get a credit card. And there are zero other options.

I found out resident evil 2 is on sale. So I went to go and buy it to find out I'm not allowed to cuz I don't own a credit card. So unless I go to the bank to let them lock me in another contract for a card I don't want, or need. I can't make my own choices apparently.

As much as I dislike the idea of using my ID to use the Internet. Steam was the one group I trust to let that rule slide this one time. But I don't have the option. My Visa card does nothing. And there no other options to use.

Get a credit card or piss off to the child corner.

I needed to rant about it. As it's been annoying me for the past few hours.

I am waiting on customer support. But this is something I shouldn't have to get them for. This is a big as fuck up on there end.
