I’m fabulously wealthy and still mostly pirate things just because I can’t be bothered dealing with online credit card payments.

Half the time I try to sign up for any of these services I get blocked for fraud because I’m in one country, my billing address in another and my bank in a third. Oh, and when something does work, it only works for a while until they lock the whole account with a bunch of paid content on it.

That is my experience with Adidas.com.

I've not had issues with Steam, though my Steam journey was early into online purchasing adventures

Which services exactly do that? Because Steam or GOG for sure don't.

Steam has done that to me many times.
