30ish, Geek, Lawyer (not the kind you're thinking, probably). That pretty much covers it.

@alf_304 @Sakastas @JAYovr @TheTeshTube @mattRlive @Steam Mate I don't give 2 shits if Steam can link my face to my email address - lord knows Facebook already has. I just don't want to go through the hassle of getting a fuckin credit card.

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@108r5meme 'ssid' what does my wifi network name have to do with this

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@Sakastas @JAYovr @TheTeshTube @mattRlive @Steam So let us pick out poison then. This approach that just straight up requires something half the Australian population dont use is fucked.

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@TheTeshTube @mattRlive @Steam Can you point me to where the requirement for multiple verification paths is? I don't think that applies in relation to this Video, unfortunately:/

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@adm1nistr4tor @Greenjaws18 @stejambo @Steam_Support Some people steal credit cards, how is this any better?

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@Cheekybaka6767 @ashlikuwu @TheTeshTube @Steam Yes, but the takeaway is that particular debit cards working is the exception, not the rule. Mine doesn't, for instance.

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@BlackStarKKG @TheTeshTube @Steam Most debit cards don't work for this you stupid fuck

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@Axsonth @TheTeshTube @Steam This law was actually passed by ScoMo, several governments ago.

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@Cheekybaka6767 @TheTeshTube @Steam They absolutely do, CC is not the only acceptable way to validate under the code, it is however the only one Steam is accepting.

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@Steam @Steam_Support My account is 21 years old, for fucks sake.

[Matt @Mattemeo]

Why the fuck are Steam making me use a credit card to authenticate that I, with my over 20 year old steam account, am over 18.

[Matt @Mattemeo]

What a clusterfuck of stupidity from @Steam and the Australian Government.

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@TheTeshTube Two main reasons I can think of: it justifies owning an Xbox (rewards their purchase) and it (in player minds, at least) benefits development (by allowing for optimising specific for one console)

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@TheTeshTube I mean, Marathon was just straight up plagiarism. That wasn't 'based on' antireal's art, they straight up used her work in their game without permission or credit - different question.

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@TheTeshTube I mean, if the subject of the video is 'how the ban came to be' I would probably mention that it was originally a project of a State and only went federal later, but that's just me. I don't particularly care, I just find it amusing.

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@TheTeshTube I just find it hard to take these kinds of posts seriously when they're like 'these guys are behind the whole thing' when they don't even know the genesis.

[Matt @Mattemeo]

@TheTeshTube I mean some of the point of the time pressure is to make you go with your gut without thinking. The time pressure isn't so bad though, and you can almost always savescum it if you want. Iirc you can also 'pause' the timers by opening the menu as well.
