1) Liability
Having too much privata data is a huge liability for Valve.
2) No verification
It is impossible to proof if the uploaded picture is legit. It's a picture. You can edit pictures for free, isnt that hard.
So I think it's just a question of high how a priority your request is, versus the cost to implement against the value of the revenue that would be gained. There's probably also questions about how they would have to store that data and how accountable to even more laws they would have to be.
If it was cheap and easy and valuable, Valve would have done it I'm sure. Seeing as they haven't, there might be some issues that "optional" doesn't address.
Our (as in European, really) ID has checksums to verify the validity, expiration date and DOB. There is absolutely no need to store anything but a flag per transaction that the verification was succesful.
Or a flag per account. There is a multitude of ways to get it.
There are absolutely no problems on that matter. It's just Vavle's reluctance to resolve it.
How does Steam verify it is actually you on the photo?
Secondly Germany has very strict pornography laws so Valve are protecting themselves.
And finally this is not an issue for other EU member states.
And if it is not you submitting the ID picture or Credit card info but a minor how does Steam verify it is you, which goes to your point of "could never be 100% sure".
In other words they aren't always the best example of something being done right or in a method that fully satisfies the multiple layers of intertwined laws that need to be handled.
That's IT Talk for go away we can't help you. They are aware of the issue and looking at how to address it which sadly might entail doing nothing. Valve would have to either develop a system that meets germany's standards, or integrate with an existing one that comes with costs. Unfortunately sometimes the best decision for a business is not making a change that a country sometimes demands.
Germany is more restrictive then 99% of the world sadly when it comes to this stuff.
That is completely false, please don't spread misinformation. The restriction is well documented to be a result of stricter laws passed in germany regarding their regulations. Valve didn't wake up 1 day and go Golly gee, how can we screw over people in Germany today......
However, we also have optional digital IDs over here, with which verification for the means of buying alcohol, tobacco, digital games and other things can be officially verified.
So Valve would have the option to create a verification system to users who are otherwise prohibited to buy these kinds of games if only they chose to implement it. But as others have stated, that might not be the most lucrative option for them. I suppose at this point all we can do is hope that they eventually create such an option.
That's a possibility. And that possibility costs money.
Phrase is: "Juice not worth the squeeze"
problem solve.
Probably the cost of implementing whatever goverment-supported age verification system (And they can be a PITA to adopt) outweights the revenue they were getting from selling the now 'forbidden' games.
Not much different than when a developer decides not to sell on a certain region o translate their game to a certain language(s).
And you'd be mistaken ...
There is not even a requirement to have something 100 % verified. There is a little phrase that is applicable: "beyond reasonable doubt".
As said, plenty of solutions out there. Ranging from PostIdent to a simple checksum verification.
