Handling payments like this puts the responsibility of dealing with fraud at Valve’s level and significantly increase their workload, instead of being the payment processor’s responsibility.
I don’t blame Valve not wanting to deal with this.
They also did that, still higher rate of theft according to them :(
I guess the store I went lost more money than what the cost of maintaining these barcode scanners and the system itself was.
We had those handheld scanner at the store I usually go, but they removed them as the theft rate was supposedly higher.
Can’t have nice things…
…are you trying to tell them what their gender should be?
And for Linux handhelds there’s PortMaster to easily use some of them on the go.
