    They also don’t let you transfer purchases if for instance you’re being stalked

    Had a friend lose a thousand games that way

      Friend could have in theory just authorized their steam library on the computer and played them through a different account. The “family sharing” thing.

        Don’t you have to be friends for that? I believe there was a website that showed your friends list, even if your profile was set to private.

      Wait, what does stalked mean in this context? Aren’t you able to block people on Steam?

        You can but they can just go to a steam profile site and see your previous names/the id doesn’t change

        And if they have a link to your profile (since it uses the id) they will always find you

        For this case they made her player of the week in a group she wasn’t apart of. It’s still there today but the profile is deleted (hence the question mark)

        Blocking an account doesn’t really solve the trauma of being scared to accept any friend request since it could be this guy

        Steam support did nothing
