“Steam started blocking Australian users from viewing or buying 18+ rated games on September 9, 2026, unless they attach a valid credit card to their account. Valve’s rollout affects hundreds of mature-rated titles, including Cyberpunk 2077 and Doom Eternal, and it doesn’t matter whether the account is brand new or fifteen years old with a library full of paid-for adult games. Without a credit card on file, those store pages, search results, and even home-page recommendations simply disappear.”

    Sure, do what you want, of course, but you said “I can’t install it.”, and that’s not true.

    I wish you’d have opened with that…

    Not that it makes any difference. I’m unlikely to play cyberpunk again any time soon, and either way, it’s a massive red flag from valve that has destroyed any confidence I had in the future accessibility of my steam library, and destroyed any willingness I had to give valve money in the future.
