Comment on WTF?! Players in AU have to use a CC for age verification via steam just to view "violent" games!
snooggums@piefed.world 2 weeks agoMy guess is that the law doesn’t allow wiggle room for using account age.

It does, it also allows multiple other forms of ID (some are far worse than CC though, face scan? GTFO) and is required as part of the ‘fairness test’ to offer several different ways of identifying.
Valve have opted only for CC, which is actually against the regulations (only allowing a single method, method that only ~40% of adults as per Parliamentary inquiry have access to)
