I was told I needed to submit age verification to Steam. I'm 43 and My account is 22 years old....
But they need to make sure you're not a kid who stole the time machine of their parents to travel back in time for experiencing gaming as in the ancient times.
Exactly, this shit. I got hit with an age check on ebay for buying a bladed weapon, a tiling trowel, had the account since 2006
People sell their steam accounts . Age don't always mean much
Cool so there's a new market for age-verified accounts.
Therefore, the only logical step after the current law proposals (to keep them relevant) is a continuous verification of who is in front of the screen, i.e., big brother watching you all the time.
