Requires PayPal or credit card. The suggestion was to pay with your Steam Wallet or whatever payment method already used when you buy a Proton-based game on Steam.

    • IMHO this supports the original point that payment via Steam would be an upgrade:

      Sending cash to a postal address isn't low-effort nor low-risk.

      Payment by cheque is something I have never done, nor would I know how to do it. I'd have to ask at my bank -- not low effort. I don't know if I'm an outlier here but I have never heard from any of my peers who ever did such a thing.

      The same or even worse is true for international money orders. The whole concept of making a money transfer to a postal address is something I have never heard of. Where's the IBAN?

      The Wine team is right to put even PayPal before all of these.

i pay for crossover license (wine on mac), if i understand correctly, they spend this money on development wine core as well.
