Steam account I won't use anymore ?

rippling · 12 Sep 2011 at 19:31

Is there anyway I can sell it ? Over 20 games on it ?

No, against the rules

You can do it but it goes against the steam subscriber agreement that you agreed to so there is a chance the account could be banned and a lot of people won't buy accounts as the original holder can just claim it back as soon as it is handed over,

Steam subscriber agreement said:
When you complete Steam's registration process, you create a Steam account ("Account"). Your Account may also include billing information you provide to us for the purchase of Subscriptions. You are solely responsible for all activity on your Account and for the security of your computer system. You may not reveal, share or otherwise allow others to use your password or Account. You agree that you are personally responsible for the use of your password and Account and for all of the communication and activity on Steam that results from use of your login name and password. You may not sell or charge others for the right to use your Account, or otherwise transfer your Account.

yes but it's best to do it to somone you know irl, selling them online is just full of scammers.

Why not just hold onto it in case you decide you want to play some of the games on it again? :confused:

Better than some poor mug getting buying it and having it banned from them.

why would it be banned?

unless the guy claims it back or starts trading lots of accounts they'll never know or care.

Steam have banned many accounts for being traded on against their T&C. :confused:

He might get away with it, but why risk it?

Normally from those two categories though, they arn't going to be putting massive effort into trying to discern if you've just moved or used a different pc to having sold it.

He wants the money? :confused:

You can't sell games any more anyway really, pretty much all games come with a CD key that is useless once redeemed

Yes. Just give the details to the person you are selling it to.

Its not allowed but im sure people do sell their username and password to people.

Just be careful who you sell it to

Sadly not, I wish I could change mine too. If only someone had of told me the repercussions of trying to be a cool 10 year old!
