Steam has officially removed PayPal from its payment options in many countries around the world, including Malaysia. According to our sister website Gamerwk, this change affects millions of users who can no longer use PayPal to buy games or add money to their Steam wallets.
The reason behind this change is that PayPal will now only process transactions in six specific currencies: EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD, and USD. This means users in countries that use other currencies, like Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, and many others, have lost access to PayPal as a payment method on Steam.
This situation adds to Steam’s ongoing payment troubles. The platform has faced pressure from payment companies before. MasterCard was reportedly pushing Steam to remove adult content games, and PayPal was also involved in these discussions. Now PayPal has created new problems by limiting which currencies it will support.
Valve, the company that runs Steam, said that users in affected countries can still buy games using other payment methods. However, neither PayPal nor Valve has given a clear explanation for why this happened. The only information available is that PayPal told Valve their bank no longer wants to process Steam transactions in certain currencies.
Valve has promised to look for new payment options for affected regions, but they haven’t said when these new methods will be available or what they might be.
The impact of this change is huge, especially in countries with large gaming communities. Without a quick solution, gamers who are used to paying with PayPal will have to switch to other methods that might be more difficult to use. Many players are now wondering if this is just a technical issue or if there’s more to the story that hasn’t been revealed yet.
