Valve's Steam Gift Cards have been a staple in major retailers throughout the world for quite some time. But today, the firm confirmed they're being phased out.
I’ve had to look up what that is, that’s how rare credit cards are here. It seems to exist. However, I’m reluctant to adopt a whole new payment method for one single use case. Also Visa and Mastercard aren’t necessarily more trustworthy than paypal and co.
You could pay cash for the visa gift card, and just load the money into your Steam wallet. Then the only thing they would know is that a person (presumably) bought a visa gift card and put the money in Steam.
Prepaid visa’s not an option?

I have never seen a visa gift card in my life but I’ll keep a lookout. Thx for the suggestion
Visa and Mastercard are the reason steam removed a bunch of adult games and itch.io removed all adult games.
Because a payment processor is a moral arbiter for what you spend your money on.
