Well, okay, i hate Steam, i really do. But this time round, i need to make there, one, final purchase; the very last one i am ever going to get on that platform. I cannot ignore it and let go, because i promised it to my nephew for new year's present. And it has preorder exclusive bonuses that as an otaku and fan of the specific game's originating media, i cannot afford to miss. It is up for preorder only in Steam. Boxed versions are not available in retailers and somehow, i seriously doubt if they are going to be, at all. And even if they do, whether those will be in time for the day1 content, or not, is no one's guess.

This is a game costing 70 euros. Okay, i am a stranger. Okay, i hate steam and insulted both it and people preferring that service, in the past. But by no means, am i a cheapskate. I owe nothing to no one and my word is always a contract that binds me.

I promise to trade back, for this one game on Steam, the equivalent sum of games from here, the GOG store, in which my card works normally, as intended. And even throw in a few bucks more as a gift (like around 5 euros, this translates to an extra gog game of low price).

Think you could be a partner and help a bro? I swear on my honesty and honor, you will never regret it. Many people call me vile-mouth, poison-words, bad-person, but no one ever called me a cheater, swindler, or crook; and i take pride in that.

My offer is 75 euros of GOG games of your choice, for that one 70 euros game on Steam. Take care that gifting it is allowed towards my locale, though, i remember an issue about steam banning trades and gifting from certain locales to certain other ones. Thanks in advance...
Try GOG's (General) Trading Thread.
Really bad time to be having this problem sadly. Not only do you need someone's trust to get a 70+ game for you, but it's right after the sale, so finding someone who actually wants ~70+ on GOG games right now is already a small chance in itself.

Since you didn't mention the name of the game (again) I figured I'd have a look but there's no preorders on Steam for 70 as far as I can tell, unless it's a special edition?

Edit: Ah, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 + season pass I imagine then.

My bad luck, as usual. Nothing can do. Game appeared in steam store not two days ago.

Strange thing, though, GOG allowing my card and business to run smoothly here, but steam refusing my money. Maybe they don't need my money, then? Another reason for exclusivity and monopoly to break down. Games should be distributed from all possible online distributors. This is cyber fascism.

UPDATE:

After a multitude of failed attempts and a phone from bank at Athens (during which the representative told me the inability of the transaction to Steam to occur)... I simply decided right now, on a whim, to try once again. Expecting a failed try, as usual. This time round, though, i used the browser to log in to steam, not the client, to attempt the purchase. And miraculously, it was DONE! Case closed! Finally! At last!
