Hi @all!

I am unable to buy Factorio on factorio.com. All I get is an error message:
Communication with braintree gateway failed, error:

Using a german Master Card. I do not want to buy it on steam.

You can try to use paypal,
But at this time there is nothing else we can do

So this is a known issue? Is there a solution available in the next days/weeks?

Neither do I have paypal nor bitcoins. There must be a way :cry:

PS: Thanks for the very fast reply!

Okay, thats sad.

IFF you, as a staff member, could assure me, that if I buy the steam version, I will eventually get a drm free version/get an account upgrade too, i would do a purchase on steam. Getting the drm free version is essential for me.

You don't need to have a Paypal account to use paypal as an online payment service. You can pay through Paypal. Have you tried to do so ?

It depends on the country the person is in. Some people will see a way to use a credit card to pay when clicking the pay pal link (with no paypal account needed), but not everyone will.
