FAQs

Is buying a Steam account legal? ›

Steam accounts cannot be bought or sold. An account is for the personal use of its creator only. What are the consequences of selling an account? When Steam's support team notices an account has been sold, the account will be permanently locked whether or not it is currently in the possession of the buyer or seller.

Valve has no recurring fees or monthly charges unless otherwise explicitly stated as part of an online game subscription. Any charges from our company are for video games or in-game content (weapons, armor, currency, etc.)

According to steamladder.com, the profile owned by Steam user Abacus Avenger is the oldest Steam account in the world. Like all of the first Steam accounts, Abacus Avenger is a game developer at Valve, which owns Steam. Abacus Avenger has earned 54 badges, 72 game cards, and 603 achievements.

The only legitimate, supported, and ultimately protected way to use Steam is through an account you personally created. If an account is discovered to be in possession of anyone other than its creator, or Steam determines the account was sold to someone else, the account will be locked.

From a legal standpoint, the distribution and downloading of pirated games through platforms like Steam Unlocked is generally considered a violation of copyright laws. These activities fall under the umbrella of digital piracy, which is illegal in most countries around the world.

Since subscriptions are a recurring payment, we need to make sure that your card is legitimate and your bank allows us to charge your card monthly. To do that, we send a $1 charge request to your bank to verify your identity and validate your credit card.

Steam is a digital game storefront and a social platform that lets you see what your friends are playing. To sign up, select Login > Join Steam on the homepage and enter your information. Steam is free to use, but you typically pay for games.

If you mean just the steam client, then yes. Most of the games on steam, or rather 98% of games and software on steam are paid, but there are free ones too. The most famous free game is DOTA 2 - A free game played by millions of users around the world.

According to data from steamladder.com, the most valuable Steam profile comes in at $279,114. I should clarify that the value of a Steam profile doesn't mean that it's what any one player actually invested in it.

Who is the highest level person on Steam? ›

After almost two years the Steam Community kinda managed to "beat" Steam Level 5000 from St4ck with granting him about 35,000 Steam awards! Now he is level 5001.

In November 2004, Half-Life 2 was the first game to be offered digitally on Steam, requiring installation of the Steam client for retail copies. During this time users faced problems attempting to play the game.

Steam accounts can not be merged together. Per the Steam Subscriber Agreement, Steam game subscriptions / CD keys are nontransferable and cannot be reset / moved between Steam accounts.

"Can I buy or sell my Steam account? Steam accounts cannot be bought or sold. An account is for the personal use of its creator only."

Since it's no longer possible to buy the game on Steam, whatever activation keys that were left out there became quite valuable. They're only worth what people are willing to pay for it.

It's a “subscription” in a purely legal sense—even if it's a one-time payment—and Steam's side of the agreement is to give you access to those digital files, not to confer or transfer ownership of them. Your Steam account can't be transferred to another person. Ever.

Proof of Ownership is established by submitting payment information previously used on the account or providing retail product codes that have been activated through Steam.

Even with the rise in digital content, the same rules have always applied. A copy of software of any kind, whether it be digital or physical, is a "license". You don't own the rights to the game itself, the company does.

However, controversially, in most cases, this is not illegal. It is against Steam's rules to sell a Steam account or any Steam game keys. This stance against reselling is standard practice for most digital distribution platforms. It is there to protect Steam and its users as well as game developers and publishers.
