So, I lost access to my gmail account that as attached to my steam account (read: deleted it) and one day I had to reinstall Windows...big mistake...this brand new shit that Steam was doing, verifying accounts on a "new" computer, I was screwed. It sent the confirmation to the fucking deleted gmail account.

so, I considered it a lost cause.

That is...Until I got a bug up my ass and checked out my backpack http://www.tf2items.com/profiles/76561197994872428

HOLY FUCK DEM VINTAGE ITEMS!

Okay, so I called my bank, and some time in April I made a transaction to Steam for $7.99. Sweet. I just sent Steam the info about the card used, and now I think I'm golden. It's funny. I don't care about the 32 other games on my account, just the TF2 items.

Also, screw the blogs, no one reads them anymore.

I lost my account, forgot the email attached to it, and some other stuff and Steam Support swiftly and painlessly helped me regain my account.
I was impressed since any and all other ___ Support services are complete and utter shit.

God I still remember trying to regain control of my fucking hotmail...
I gave them my full name, list of contacts, list of emails, email folders, iP addresses used, etc...everything they asked in perfect detail...and they're like "Yeah, uh, can't be sure it's you so you can't use your own email account, sorry."

Yeah, Steam is awesome. I got my account back with so much ease. Just a little email and they turned it back on a couple of hours later. If anyone is wondering they banned me because they thought I was using a stolen credit card.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
