Rep7icant: Thanks for sharing the information, debiruman_. If BoaCompra is not a payment option anymore on GOG, I believe its little icon should be removed from the E-WALLETS option. I guess Paypal is gonna be my payment choice from now on here. Do you happen to know if BoaCompra was removed from Steam too?
debiruman_: I've actually bought some games on steam yesterday using boa compra, so i guess it still works fine on steam
Yes, the method still works on Steam... I got the answer from support. Apparently, it was indeed Gog's choice to abandon BoaCompraCard. I asked if they would keep the e-wallet method, but they couldn't confirm or deny anything. Which is... worrying.
Here's what they had to say about it:

Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
Please note that we have changed the payment service provider for payments made via credit card in your region. You should be able to see the option to complete your purchase with a credit card directly in the check-out screen. If needed, we may also recommend using PIX as an alternative payment method.
Should you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know.
Kind regards,
Lue

I see. That can be a problem. Since PIX is an easier way to pay, it's not as practical as the credit card, in my opinion. I'd like to know if the other methods present are subject to change as well, since there's still a similar way of using the BoaCompra service via the E-wallet option. Will gog at least keep this method? Unfortunately, without my main payment method, I am considering taking my money elsewhere, since the same method is present on other places like Steam.
