I bought few games from EPIC using my ICICI card so it must be specific to your bank. You can ask any member here to buy it on your behalf by sharing your account if you know someone you can trust. AFAIK some ICICI and Axis Bank Debit Cards can be used in international transactions. None of the other Banks' Debit Cards will work.

EGS might show price in Rupees, but the transaction is still an international transaction. 99% of banks don't allow this in debit cards. Steam, on the other hand, does proper local transactions via NovaPlay, so you can use a Debit Card to your heart's content (along with gifting also of course). You also can't look at 3rd party sites unless they are Indian - because their transactions will also be international. Best bet is to take a relative's/family member's credit card (a low limit spare one preferably), and reimburse them if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either - 1) They are proper institutions - in which case you might as well apply for a proper credit card from a proper bank or 2) they are really shady institutions, and your best bet is to stay a 100 km away from them. That said, this is the first time I'm hearing about them, so maybe someone else more knowledgeable can help better.

Frankly, I expect H;ZD to go 899 or less in sales (It was 899 in first sale I think). That said, the extra 300-500 Rs is nothing in comparison to security. Heck, use your Debit Card and get H:ZD for full price from Steam now. 1100 Rs is not much when your security is at stake. I would rather pay the extra difference and have peace of mind, rather than save 300 Rs-500 Rs, and wonder whether my details have been hacked/leaked on the net. That will lead to far bigger losses. @Snake is right. Always go for recognized CC from a reputed, recognized bank. There is no point ruining your life for 300 Rs. You and your security is worth much more than that. Edited June 1, 2021 by roun90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have till 17th June to decide on buying the game. Moreover 750 is a steal deal for Fenyx Rising. It's a no-brainer imo unless you don't like that genre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
