Valve is phasing out physical Steam gift cards due to scammers

After over a decade, Steam will no longer sell physical gift cards in stores.

In a support page spotted earlier by Windows Central, Valve says it will no longer restock its gift cards once they run out, citing scammers who "continue to have an impact on Steam customers and other unsuspecting individuals.

" In its post, Valve links to a Federal Trade Commission article outlining how gift card scammers attempt to convince victims to buy a gift card at a store and give them the code.
