That, is the reality of steam/other steam like program users trying to buy digital items(games without retail or DLCs) outside united state.The new Google Pay app came out of beta this week, and it marks the first step in a major upheaval in the Google Pay service. If I use paypal, I might rather just buy a airplane ticket only to fly to US soil to grab the giftcard on site. If it is a must, I'll still have to pay for it even I am unwilling, cause its the only way I can pay on steam to buy stuff I want without those dirty banker arsehole rip 20000% fee (Yes, thats the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rate they charge me here, 300-600 usd every month just for credit card fee, minpay without repay the credit loan) for the price that I have only pay for once by each month for the credit card I won't use much.Īnd paypal? Forget it, they are using VISA credit card for oversea transfer. Unlike Paypal and the like that are for paying and things like that, so i think there fee is much smaller (i may be wrong how ever) so Valve takes that on them self Google Apps is a store like Steam, so they ask for huge fees for it, as you selling on there store (Like Steam sells there games) If you add 100$ you will need to pay 30$ to google for using it. Originally posted by Black Blade (Cart Idleing):well i am not sure Valve will want to pay the 30% fee google ask for in-app peruses:Īnd will you want to pay 30% of what you buy for the card? Of course, nothing stops either side to take the initiative and ask the other side.Īnd for all we know they don't even know it is possible. Similar if they think that it's a good idea to offer pre-paid through Google's PlayStore, they have to talk to Google or find a partner who deals with it.
Valve looked for a partner to offer that payment and struck a deal with them. PayPal or Credit Card institutes don't ask every small business there is, the business has to come to them.įor exampl the Steam pre-paid cards I get here are issued by InComm.
You usually look out for what payment options you want to offer and talk to the company. Its like the games, Valve doesn't go asking publishers to put their games on to Steam, the publishers go to valve and ask to have their games on steam.Īnd for all we know, they already talked and one of the companies wanted too much or they just could not agree on stuff. Valve and other companies don't go out looking for stuff like that, the other places ask Valve to include their payment method. Originally posted by Gwarsbane:Thats not how it works.
