Valve had recently implemented a $5 USD minimum purchase in the Steam store in order to accounts to have all features. Predominately, chat features are unavailable to "Limited User Accounts", which is the term used for accounts that haven't fulfilled this minimum purchase. The purchase MUST be through the digital store. Until then, these accounts are unable to send friend invites, put up content on the steam workshop, gain levels for their steam profile and other features.
This comes as a move against phishing, spam and scam accounts that have often plagued the Steam platform.
The Hogwarts Legacy video game is on sale for the lowest price yet. You can get the Standard Edition on Steam for $29.99 down from $59.99 (that's $30 off). And, the Digital Deluxe Edition can be picked up for just $59.99, which is $59.99 off its usual price of $119.98.
50% is about as far as I made it through the game too. It started so strong in and around the castle... $30 feels about right though
It's like they are pushing us away from gaming on consoles. The standard edition of this game is currently on sale on Xbox for $41.99, on PlayStation for $69.99 and on steam for $30.00. The PS store usually have sales on Tuesdays so hopefully, we will see the price being matched when the store gets updated.
The latest update overhauls certain aspects of the UX such as the process of adding Steam games in the cart without opening a separate page.
Multiple Helldivers 2 duplicates on Steam have surfaced, with scammers trying to capitalize on the game's success.
Good too see as much as i like steam they need to invest in more overall protection its crazy how no large deformation suit has happened yet. The community did the leg work here valve was there last it should be valve first.
A simple hey can not name it this ____ as it is already on steam would go a long way as names are copyrighted for the most part.
Lol, you wanna know where you can stick that gabe?
What if I've spent $5k?
Good move, a lot of people get spambot requests which send nothing but phishing links to steal our inventory.
Though I don't understand why retail CDkeys don't count for actual purchases.
This has been there for awhile,yall just finding this out?
Yeah this a actually a big step forward. Most people who have steam have a library of games anyways they paid for, like 90 of concurrent users. This new policy doesn't allow spammers to just make new accounts easily and try to scam legit innocent users.
If you ever use steam enough and play games like CS:Go or Dota 2, you get a frequent amount of spammers messaging you to take advantage of.Most people aren't stupid but it happens all the time still and you hear about it in articles from time to time but this new clause is a huge step forward to knocking back spammers as they have to think, "Do I really want to spend 5 dollars for each account?" Probably not...
Good call Valve!
P.S When the day comes you announce HL3, bring it to PS4/5/6 too please ;D
