Limited User Accounts
Note:

CD Keys, retail purchases, and gifts do not remove limited user restrictions. See How do I gain access to these features? below for more information.

Steam Support cannot remove this limited user status from your account.

Why can't I access certain Steam features?
We've chosen to limit access to these features as a means of protecting our customers from those who abuse Steam for purposes such as spamming and phishing. Read more...

How do I gain access to these features?
You will need to spend at least $5.00 USD within the Steam store.

Some examples of purchases that grant access to these features are:
Adding the equivalent of $5 USD or more to your Steam Wallet
Purchasing game(s) that are equal to $5 USD or more from the Steam store
Adding a Steam Wallet card to your Steam account
Purchasing a Steam gift from the Steam store (Receiving a Steam gift from a friend doesn't count)

Each Steam purchase total will be tracked in USD. If your Steam store's currency isn't in USD, it will be tracked and converted to USD automatically using daily exchange rates.

What features are unavailable to me?
Limited users are prevented from accessing several features on Steam, including but not limited to:
Sending friend invites
Opening group chat
Voting on Greenlight, Steam Reviews and Workshop items
Participating in the Steam Market
Posting frequently in the Steam Discussions
Gaining Steam Profile Levels and Trading Cards
Submitting content on the Steam Workshop
Posting in an item's Steam Workshop Discussions
Accessing the Steam Web API
Using browser and mobile chat


What will not grant me access to the above features?
The below actions will not remove limited user restrictions:
Activating a retail game on Steam
Playing free demos
Adding a non-Steam game as a shortcut
Adding/playing promotional trials like Free Weekends
Free to Play games (Examples: Alien Swarm, free versions of Portal and Team Fortress 2)
Activating promotional CD Keys from hardware or graphic card manufacturers


I received my game(s) as a gift, will I gain access to all features?
No, games that have been received as a gift or via Steam Trading are not eligible.

What if a purchase is refunded to my bank or my purchase is disputed/chargeback?
If a purchase amount is returned to your bank, the amount will be subtracted from your account's total purchase value. If the refund or dispute amount brings your account's total purchase value below $5 USD, then your account will lose access to these features.

For example, if you purchase a game for $5 USD, your account will gain access to these Community features. If you open a dispute with your bank, these funds will be returned to the bank and you will lose access to these features because Steam never received the funds.

What if a purchase is refunded to my Steam Wallet?
Refunds credited to your Steam Wallet, such as pre-order refunds, do not modify access to these Steam Community features.

What if my Steam store currency isn't in USD?
If the Steam store isn't in USD, we will track the purchase amount in USD by converting each purchase total made on Steam using daily exchange rates. Once you have made the equivalent of $5.00 USD or more in total Steam purchases, you will gain access to the restricted Steam features.

Zal me niets verbazen als Steam zelf een x aantal fake accounts heeft gemaakt. Zodat ze nu kunnen zeggen: zie je wel! Je wordt dood gespamd. In al die jaren op Steam heb ik geen enkel friend invite gehad.

Met al die jrpg aankondigingen voor de consoles de laatste tijd is dit misschien interessant om in te vullen. Game Arts enquete voor pc ports. Ontwikkelaars van Grandia, Lunar etc.

Ik gebruik zelf geen Steam, maar heb toevallig een gratis key voor de game Skyhook. Wie wilt deze hebben? De eerste die me een PM stuur krijgt hem!

€22,48 voor GTA 5.
Het is de Summer Sale, maar dit is wel ERG goedkoop.
