    Of course, because when everyone buy a game on steam the FIRST thing it comes to their mind is the credit card brand they used. What a load of bullock.

    FFS I don’t even remember which one of my credit card I have saved on steam.

    MasterCard can go fuck themselves. Great job saving your brand
