It's not pointless, it significantly streamlines the process of making purchases. Merchants, specifically, continue to pay processing fees to their payment processor."Īpple Pay theoretically is free but pointless as the underlying payment methods for it are already available. Google Pay doesn't have any additional charges on top of the usual credit card fees, see "Google Pay doesn't additionally charge users, merchants, and developers additional fees to use the Google Pay API for payments. That page is talking about Google Checkout, which as the box at the top of the page notes, "has been retired. which is juicier than most CC fees but 30cents per transaction, which makes it unusable for Steam because too much cheap stuff on Steam.

Valve simply tries to also get a presence on iOS/Mac to ensure the same experience of the service throughout platforms.Īpple blocked that for quite some time and they still block updates to their apps from time to time. If Valve were so furious with Apple that they no longer want to have anything to do with them, why would they make a port of the iOS Steam Link app to Mac? Valve has no real beef with Apple. That link makes pretty much the exact opposite point to the one you seem to be trying to make about there being a beef between Valve and Apple.

I don't think Google will care, so possible that google pay might become a thing, but again up to Steam, the only issue how many people really going to use either of these really. I still think Apple might have beef with Steam because of game content as they were making a big stink about it in the past, as there was updates being delay just for IOS mobile app. But most keys retrails don't use google pay, or apple pay either still. Apply pay still on GoG, thought that was dropped unless that was only for US, or certain parts of EU? I know google play there. GOG.com will also accept Apple and Google pay, however they do not provide Steam keys. One example of such a store is the WinGameStore / MacGameStore. However there are plenty of other online stores that will sell you a game with a steam key and receive your payment using Apple Pay. If you want to use Apple Pay, be it for privacy, convenience, or out of necessity then unfortunately Valve has chosen not to accept it. With the history of Apple towards Valve not letting the mobile authenticator get updates for years on iOS and even the Steam Link situation.Īnd there is the current issue where Apple forced Valve through a court order by a judge.
