But they already can and already do. For example If I wanted to buy ARX for Elite Dangerous, you have to go through Frontier’s website to purchase it.

You can buy ARX on Steam now, but you don't have to.

For the life of me I could not find this while I was playing. It always redirects me to a browser with the Frontier store when I try to buy ARX in game. Thanks for this lol I like using my steam wallet funds for this sort of thing over actual cards.

I think one problem is that although ARX packs are pictured on the game's Steam page, "ARX" doesn't appear in the text, so you can't control+f for it.
