So all people in Germany use a USA company to pay?
At least I think PayPal born in USA, Steam and Itch too. I think.
That I know exist several payment companies around the world that work behind the stores and people don't know.
People just type the credit, debit card number or bank transfer.
But if you can't buy, pay or receive money with PayPal it will have no use at all.
Anyway not telling to Itch cut PayPal out but to add a extra payment method that not disrespect the rights of people sell and buy what they want.
But they that have to search and choose or if not, the developers to find a different game store.
I know some game stores not sure if they all still exist one used to be my favourite ie in Italy allow people to trade games.
I don't know in Europe but in Brasil have payment companies I always see on TV and credit card ones from here at less two or 3.
When I had a store in Second Life I could choose to receive money in my bank account here. But well that not a virtual world.
And just remind me that I started Use PayPal to buy stuff in Ebay, so started buy in AliExpress? then in Mercado Livre both have themselves have their payment companies. I think maybe Amazon too but I never used AmazonPay or AliPay.
Some people use FA, Inkbunny and other stuff probably receive money by bank transfers.
Just funny think I had plans to visit two friends in Germany in 2027 or 2028.
Hope I didn't said to much. When start to type difficult to stop sometimes.
