jcoa: None of the stores I usually go to seem to sale cards, just generic food marts and other places I never go to. And even then, I have no idea how Paysafe works or if it will work as intended. Wouldn't it be easier to just release gog cards at Best Buy like Steam did?
Best Buy is an American store chain with a sprinkling of locations in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada, and China. GOG is based in Poland. Paysafecards are becoming increasingly common in Europe and many other regions. They are available in 37 countries including much of Europe, and quite a bit of North and South America. Unlike a giftcard, a paysafecard is more like a credit card in that it can be used to purchase a variety of goods from multiple vendors, while a giftcard is lashed to one particular store/brand.
It was the more practical move to allow paysafecards to purchase goods at GOG then to create specific GOGcards available in only a handful of countries. Also, less hassle.
