Valve won't let retailers stock physical Steam gift cards anymore because "scammers have adapted" to whatever security measures they've tried (opens in new tab)

Valve have stopped producing physical Steam Gift Cards for retailers, meaning once the current stock runs out you won't see them anywhere out in the wild. Valve say this is because no matter what protections they've added to the cards, "scammers have adapted". While Valve will continue to sell Steam Digital Gift Cards through their shop, this means the days of trading in old physical games and using the credit to buy a gift card are coming to an end.
