Steam is
shite.
So, I've been using my mother's partner's account for years, because this was back when it was used mainly for Valve games such as Half Life 2. Which is all we used it for.
Over the years, my collection grew - Garry's Mod, Left 4 Dead, The Ship, Empire Total War, Civ5 and all my Orange Box games. All registered on this account.
Earlier this year, I decided to start a new account, so that my Mother's Partner could have his account back (lol), not that he uses it. But my name isn't his, and I wanted it to be "Azkanan".
I made a new account, tried to bring my games over - bam. "No."
I message Steam about it, explaining my situation. They copy-paste a link to their support pages, which I had already read. No use. I tell them this, they copy-paste more links. I get angry and tell them to fucking talk to me properly. They say, "Sorry, you can't move games from account to account".
So basically, they want me to buy new games. Fair enough, if this was an anti-piracy thing.
However.
Until I buy a game from them, with actual money, my access to Steam itself is limited. Can't message people, can't add friends, can't accept friends, can't do
shit, other than add games to the list, download free games and play those.
They say this is for "Anti-spam" reasons. Such vghncgkyujk. Money-mongering thsyhseytwhy. [/rage]
Oh, and, none of my credit cards are supported.
