I just learned (and successfully tested) that we don't need an account to use PaySafe. I thought that was mandatory in order to pay anywhere, like PayPal is. And Steam allows paying (or adding to wallet) directly from the PaySafe code. Meaning, we can buy the code in a local shop anonymously and just add it to the account.

When asked to pay in Steam, just select PaySafe as the method, then the webpage to PaySafe will open where you enter the code from the receipt. After a minute or two, you should get a notification (usually through email). It's almost as easy as using a Steam Gift Card. At least here in Germany, Europe.

This is relevant for me, because physical Steam Gift Cards are official discontinued (the rest in the market will be usable, they just don't produce any anymore). And PaySafe works for me. In fact, I wonder to where I can pay with PaySafe else, outside of Steam. But that is a bit off-topic here off course...

Did you know this? Can you use PaySafe in your country? I hope PaySafe will stay as it is. What about the other Gift Cards, will they go away too or can people buy them for the consoles and other shops like Epic Games on PC?

Also I was curious why the list of Linux distros is unsorted, when switching to Linux only:
