So how do you clean them with this scheme? By registering a game on Steam or selling something on Amazon?

Also made me think why in the country I live, in stores like 7Eleven you cannot pay with a credit card for gift cards, google pay cards, etc.

From what I understand the scheme works like this.

Create a very basic "game" that technically meets Valve's requirements. As long as it runs well enough then it won't be blocked. Have people buy Steam gift cards with cash, then buy the games you have published.

Valve takes 30% and you get a nice check with a verified source of funds from a legitimate company.
