Considering their volume, I find it hard to believe that Valve couldn't find another, more lenient payment processor with similar fees.

Controversial games being restricted to purchase only with Steam Points. The credit card is only ever charged to buy points, which can then be used to purchase items on the store. Similar to fortnite.

Or similar to DLSite and Fantia, where it didn't work.
