Steam Stops Selling Gift Cards in Stores

Valve is making a change that will make things a bit harder for players, just weeks after raising the price of Steam Deck devices.

Valve announced it will stop making and selling physical Steam gift cards in stores because scammers use them for bad things. Valve cannot find a way to stop scammers, so it is stopping gift card production.

Valve said, 'Scammers keep finding ways around our rules.' They are still hurting Steam customers and other people.

The good news is that people can still buy digital gift cards on Steam. Last year, Valve made it easier to buy these cards without needing a Steam account.

This change feels like the end of an era because gift cards have been sold in stores for a long time.
