> One chargeback for your 5$ game can consume you 55$ or more, handful and you permanently lose the ability to accept the payment anywhere including future businesses outside of games This sounds like personal experience. Can you elaborate? Edit: OHH perhaps you are saying this is one of the benefits of Steam; that it shields you from all this. | ||

> Edit: OHH perhaps you are saying this is one of the benefits of Steam; that it shields you from all this. Yes. In a sijmilar way: regular companies get Stripe at commodity pricing, games get xsolla, paysafe, tebex, and a massive compliance questionnaire, games are software (to you) but closer to porn or gambling on risk (to MoRs and processors). People are less "likely" to charge back Steam because of their other games being frozen and Steam has volume to dilute chargebacks whereas you starting out may hit double digit dispute rates in one. Whether this is fair is an exercise best left to the reader ;. | ||
