Valve introduce Steam Wallet

to be fair you'd be dissuaded either way :p


Unless you're PMKeates then you'd be being hacked on a bi nightly basis :o

steam has no reputation for being hacked.

only thing it has a reputation for is retards giving their passwords away.

I mean if you fall for a chat message telling you to give them your password i na window that says "Never tell your password to anyone" and if you click any link you are sent that is not an official valve link it pops up saying

And you still enter your details, you deserve to lose your money.

Short of having a man stand by your computer and kick you in the balls if you try to give your password away there's not much they can do.

One of my mates was ''hacked'' and he said he definitely did not input his password anywhere and a scan revealed nothing.
I'm finding it hard to believe too that it gets ''hacked'' but I do not think everyone has been doing silly things or has infected pc's who has had their accounts hijacked.

They can do more, TAN codes to phone like some banks do... Or some form of an authorizer based on a card like erm, banks do...

I get the feeling he probably used a very simple or easily guessable password. You'd be surprised how many people use the same password everywhere or just add a number to a password when they are asked to change it.

of course someone hacked into the steam servers and stole the account info and password hash for just his account (instead of tens of thousands ) and then decrypted the hash to get a usable password before finally stealing the account.


yeah stealing the account, not holding the massive amount of data he had gained to hold valve to ransom no he's happy to just play soem games.

You're right much more feasible.
 
Kinda surprised there isn't a small incentive for using this as opposed to paying per transaction with Paypal or whatever. Buy £4 credit for.... £4! Grrrrrrrreat!

I'll just carry on buying stuff for the exact cost on a per-item basis.
 
I just don't see the point in these complete arbitrary values. 4, 8, 18, 35, 70? Why? Other than the mention of PS3 i see no logical reason why anyone would use this function. Even if the possibility existed to send a gift which i don't know if it does or not, the values are still arbitrary.

McGray he has a point. If you have a son/daughter using steam and they don't have there own debit card then being able to put funds onto the account is helpful, though just how useful it really is is debatable.
