This is why on steam I don’t store my credit card information, nor on basically any other site that I can get away with it.
Yeah it is a pain in the ass for the times I want to buy something, having to put it the card details every single time, but it’s worth my peace of mind if a breach happens. By this point I have memorized my card numbers so it’s not too awful of a pendantic habit now.

It's a credit card, you can dispute charges and will likely get a refund.
I've done it a few times for different reasons.

i use privacy.com with a virtual card with a vendor lock and max limit. it also helps remind me when I’m spending too much there … 😂

Yeah, but you lose out on credit card rewards, aka free money, going that route.
I’ve used them a couple times where my privacy was worth more, and once where I didn’t want a company having a card to put recurring charges on
Technically it costs money even if their fees are forgettable.

Just accidentally memorize it from having to manually pay a bunch of bills online in a short span!

So far it either sounds like they are replaying the message, or it's just a (partial) list of numbers that used steam. Might be good for targeting, but that is about it. They would have to know the associated account to do any intercept attacks.
