I find it hard to believe, you need a credit card for steam.
First of all I bought the orange box, and some other box, in a store, and activated it on steam. It gave me HL2 Portal, HalLlife, counter strike and a few more games.
Secondly you can use paypall.
Third option move to the Netherlands
The dutch steam users were able to explain to Valve that a credit card is not very common over here.
Valve now has an option, which only seem to be their for the dutch, but it comes down to an online bank transfer.
( its called Ideal )
Furthermore I like to add, that pirating because a company stops developers from making a Linux version, is for me oke.
That's what this topic was about.
The reason, I don't have a creditcard, sounds like bs to me.
I also like to add pirating games from the one company, that gave us gaming on Linux, on a never seen before scale, sounds very lame to me.

Originally posted by asdxYou call it lame, but I call it my only option. Seriously? What other option do I have when I can't use PayPal, when I don't have a credit/debit card?
If I could use Bitcoin to pay I would use that, but they don't take BTC.
I understand that piracy is not a good thing when we have these companies offering Linux games, but I wish they were more flexible with the payment options.
That how we ( dutch) pay most bills, and why a credit card is not that much used over here.

DCMA safe harbor rule protects forums like this

Michael can shrug off the bluffing threats about piracy links here-because under the DCMA, only the owners of the copyrights have the authority to send a DCMA takedown\
notice.
Were it not for this safe harbor, Youtube and other video hosting services would face billions in lawsuits over music in videos. Youtube only scans for backing music out of
fear that their sheer size could induce Congre$$ to amend the DCMA under pressure from the RIAA and MPAA. The threats here are like Getty letters arriving from someone
other than Getty!
