Sadly both Mastercard and Visa have supported this practice and thats the 2 big ones.

Dang, looks like I actually have to do some reading.

Steam accepts major credit and debit card brands, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

Digital wallets, such as PayPal and Skrill, offer a convenient and secure way to make payments on Steam.

Steam gift cards can be purchased from various retailers, both online and offline, and can be redeemed on the Steam platform.

In addition to these payment methods, Steam also supports other region-specific payment methods, such as iDeal in the Netherlands, Sofort in Germany, and WebMoney in Russia.

Looks like there is a way. Is there a will?

Use your Mastercard to buy yourself a Steam gift card then buy a product that is offensive to Mastercard with the gift card.
