minus-squareteuniac_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·2 days agoTbh I could not be arsed to go somewhere to buy a gift card to then use it. I’m more likely to use another platform to buy a game. It’s not that I don’t have values. I just don’t feel strongly enough about using Steam to make that trip just for a gift card.
