The downside to physical gift cards being discontinued is that Valve is now even more dependent on credit card companies. With physical cards in stores, they at least had something to fall back on for when cc companies try to manipulate them again

Yeah I don't understand this. The cards also dont need to physically exist. The code can just be printed on the receipt when buying from the register.
