Visa/Mastercard told two major game distribution services to remove certain games, because a religious organization pressured them. Gamers are pissed.

That's great news for online, but I'd also like a card for offline and that still means either Mastercard or Visa :(
AFAIK, Wero has planned payment per NFC, but it might take a while. I wish some Austrian banks would have already joined in on Wero, but alas...
Wero already can transfer money between people btw, sending to phone numbers - if the other side already has Wero, it's direct, if not, they can supply a bank account for deposit
You can get Amex in Europe fairly easily, but acceptance is spotty. I used to have a card in Germany, and while it was usually not a problem with online purchases (domestic and international), shops were 50:50 at best.
