C'mon Valve... Make me a credit card pretty please.

Based on the screenshot someone else posted, they do have some kind of payment/currency system of their own, Steam Wallet.

I guess you could buy a physical Steam gift card in a store via any mechanism the store accepts, including cash, and then transfer it to that.

Yeah, that seems to be the best option for people w/o credit cards. It was useful for me before I got mine.

Maybe it's possible that they can make some sort of pre-paid card esque solution, rather than fixed amounts?
