WebMoney support

[SkyBon]

WebMoney is russian online payment system. It is used throughout Russia and is the most popular here. So we want Valve to support not only western payment systems e.g. Paypal, but also WebMoney!
Here is the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/wmrsteam/petition.html
Hope, you'll include WM support soon...

[Microshock]

Signed. No idea what's in russia but if it'll be easier for people to pay then i'm all for it.

[AciD]

Its veeerrryy hard to sign up a pay-pal account.

Wow. People use different services in different parts of the world. Excuse them for wanting them to pay on Steam with something they use instead of switching to a new account on paypal.

[AciD]

Oh sorry, they also should be able to use Risa cards instead of Visa ones.

[Microshock]

Oh sorry, they also should be able to use Risa cards instead of Visa ones.

Why are you trolling here?

[Peewi]

Why are you trolling here?

Maybe because the payment options already available for Steam should be sufficient.

I can understand why people want to be able to use what they're also using for different things, but I don't see Valve being that interested in adding it to Steam if it's only used in Russia.

[SkyBon]

And why then American Express is allowed, though it is used in America only? Also the systems used in Steam are not compliant for russian users except Visa and Mastercard credit cards.

[lodle]

amex is available world over. Many people in Australia have it

[Microshock]

Russia is a huge pc market.

I don't get why anyone is denying this when it would benefit plenty of people living there that want to buy Steam games with Webmoney?

[ReBoot]

Its veeerrryy hard to sign up a pay-pal account.
Not really hard. But PayPal tends to stop accepting bank deposit from time to time without any reason. That's what makes PayPal unusable.

[SkyBon]

I didn't mention there are many ex-USSR countries which also use WebMoney and Yandex.Money...

[AciD]

I am living in ex-USSR country and I am using Paypal/Click and buy.

[SkyBon]

Hmmm... maybe you are using Paypal, but there are many users in CIS countries who use WebMoney

[Dwarden]

what about also add support for Kagi (asia), MoneyBookers (EU) then ?

[SkyBon]

Maybe... but anyway, I think WebMoney should be first priority to be added

Yandex.money...that sounds like a virus name :D

Nice for you. I am living in ex-USSR country (well, to be honest - in the Russia itself) and I can't use Paypal, only WebMoney (btw paypalsucks (http://www.paypalsucks.com/)). Yes, I can try to buy credit card with paypal support but this is pain in the *ss (really hard in Russia, impossible in my city).
Adding WebMoney support into Steam sounds good for me (I want to buy a HL anthology >_>).

[JamesTheFishy]

Well any possible way to give steam money should be an acceptible request. Some people don't see how hard it is some times to transfer money.

[Kein]

Yandex.money...that sounds like a virus name
Yandex.money isn't that popular as WebMoney. Nobody cares about YM, coz there is exist a WebMoney.

[Ankarion]

+1
We, Russians, need WebMoney

[Kein]

670 votes get!!!111 :P

[Sorcix]

No they aren't. They all use the same system: credit cards.
In a lot of countries you can't pay on steam without a credit card,
and in most of those same countries, people don't have a credit card.

Here in Belgium for example, it's not easy to buy games through steam.

[Kein]

That's why we need multiple online payment system.

[SilverMink]

You must remember that Valve is located in the U.S.

That's most likely the reason why they don't already accept payment options like WebMoney.

[Kein]

You must remember that Valve is located in the U.S
You must remember that Valve distributing their games in many countries, like Russia, Korea, etc.

[Max32t]

Need webmoney, plz

[Seth.Sekhmet]

Having a payment option that would help ppl from different regions of the world is a good idea.

[BasBalManic]

Depending on the difficulty with which this could be implemented, I don't see why Steam wouldn't leap at the opportunity.

[dedoz]

signed, good idea but I think VALVE wouldn't introduce it(

[st_nick5]

Valve is based in America

Petitions don't do anything. They aren't going to force Valve to implement it.

[Dwarden]

don't forget to demand support for MoneyBookers (Europe) and Kagi (Asia,Russia etc)

[KRONie]

it wont harm steam, so why not add it?

[Kein]

Looks like idea dies.
I guess it is so hard to implement this payment system in Steam.

[gyunter]

If they don't add the Webmoney support then there are some reasons for it.

[stevedadark]

Valve is an american company.

[SIR_halyavshik]

i've already said about this http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=790340 (problem)
But i see a petition here , so , im in. :)

Valve is an american company.

Then why they making steam an international shop?
Supporting different languages / paying for localosation of their games / hiring people from other countries
Why?

[Maxboom]

...It is used throughout Russia
and Ukraine :)
we need WebMoney !!!

[llitank]

I don't really care about this issue, but I wish you luck with that.

[DarkMess1ah]

/signed, and those people arguing against... why? how does this affect you?

[Ana4kin]

This is a very good idea in Russia is often used payment system WebMoney.I think that Steam will support WebMoney, because many Russian consumers will be easier to buy the game in Steam.:)

[Fortesque]

Nice Idea!It will be great if Valve will support Web Money payment system

[SkyBon]

Valve is based in America
Though Blizzard is based in the USA too it implemented the WM support in WOW although players could simply buy activation cards in every computer shop throughout Russia...
BTW, 5 votes and the petition will make 1k.

[ohn03s]

I'll also love Ideal as a payment option(The most used online payment method used in the Netherlands. VERY SECURE). With Ideal you've to verify ownership of you're bank account with the system of te Specefic bank(ING uses Tan codes or a Calculator. Other banks uses Calculators).

Its a great system :)

[SkyBon]

The petition has made 1k!

[berkut1]

Valve not support webmoney, i'm not have card :( therefore i'm use pirates copies, please made support webmoney and I buy licenced TF2, HL2, CSS and so do many, and pirated copies in Russia greatly reduced

[Koolker2]

If valve won't add webmoney, what about petition to PayPal for support Russia?

[SkyBon]

Actually there's one story on no-steam.ru about "dealer" with nick leffko.
"Steam Dealer" in RUNET is the one who buys games using credit card and sells then these games as gifts to simple users for WMRs (WebMoney, Rouble) or WMZs (WebMoney, Dollar).
So Leffko sold VCPs (Valve Complete Pack) for 10-15 WMZ (!!!). On January 22, 2009 there was a BIIIG PROBLEM. All accounts which got sold gifts from leffko got banned and leffko himself went out of business. So now there's a real hunt in real life after Leffko.

That's why it'd be good for Valve to add WebMoney support to Steam.

Not only Leffko. Same story with Bzzz[Fallen]. And now Steamru.net sells VCP for 25WMZ.

lol really?

MoscowGolem shows the actual checkout process where you can clearly see WebMoney as an option and you use an arbitrary screenshot that shows an outdated collection of accepted payment methods that nobody really checks anyway.

I fail to see what your argument is.

NVM: clearly a troll.

[rupunk]

ухаха! получилось))))
всех поздравляю с наметивишимся позитивным направлением. Теперь надобно, что б Steam Wallet можно было купить ч/з QIWI

Yeah, right, and I'd post non-actual payment systems list from STORE module.

Time device I have, indeed.

[Koraboros]

What do you have against WebMoney anyway?

And I have the WebMoney option in my payment lists AS WELL as on the logo of accepted payment methods.

So why are you choosing randomly outdated screenshots arguing that WebMoney isn't available?

[DIMICH]

Good news webmoney support has been added but webmoney acc steam wants me to send money to looks quite suspicious to me. Check this link http://arbitrage.wmtransfer.com/asp/claims.asp?wmid=362311291686

[KageTsuki]

I'm from Moldova and I still can't see Webmoney payment option on the checkout page. Moldova is a member of CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States (СНГ in russian)) just like Russia and Ukraine. I hope support for Webmoney in my region will be added soon since I realy want to use this payment system to buy games from Steam, it is very easy to use.

[SilentGhost3]

I'm from Moldova too and i agree with the post above me.

[Rultes]

I'm from Ukraine and I can clearly see the WebMoney option!
YAY!

[Failwin]

No WEBMONEY for Moldova. Give it.

[Devil_Inside]

Yeap, please add it to Moldova as well.

[tukimoshi]

Maybe because the payment options already available for Steam should be sufficient.

I can understand why people want to be able to use what they're also using for different things, but I don't see Valve being that interested in adding it to Steam if it's only used in Russia.

Some people want to use local websites that support interac. Some people can't use PayPal for various reasons (PayPal disabled my card for no reason, they won't re-enable it. Those ♥♥♥♥♥es.)

[limnique]

When WebMoney support will return? I want to buy BioShock... :(

[Gone'Postal]

When webmoney fix the security issue, Valve can't do anything about it.

[ReZoMbiE]

I've read on a Russian forum that WebMoney is back on Steam again. Can anybody confirm that?

[Andreson]

http://www.petitiononline.com/m7410/petition.html Hey please include this one too, I am from Moldova and as long as Steam is my only trusted shop I can't buy anything because Webmoney isn't open in my country. Please sign this one too, because for some reason we were forgotten and nobody mentioned that about us. I hope you will understand my point of view.
