Sachys: No idea about new accounts, but it remains optional for me at least (as optional as a big, green "give us your fucking details now, slave!" banner can be when you open the client) right now.
Recently, I haven't been using the client, only the website, because damn the client to death. So maybe that.

Sachys: Aye thats true - on the other hand you'd be complaining about all the cold callers you're getting.

At any rate it does sound like you've been phished / account compromised somehow and thats poo.

May have been covered already but have you "signed in via steam" on any new sites recently?!

Hope you get it sorted at any rate.

PookaMustard: So, are they forcing the phone number for security on new accounts, or is it just optional?

Haha well, yes, they must think of a cellphone number..receiving cold callers or voice mail password changes on the phone which is used by the whole household would turn out to be creepy^^
And it would be quite ironic since they don't want to be phoned themselves.
I'm already glad I jumped out that Facebook glass house before it has leeched the last data out of me.
And no, I don't have signed in any websites via steam so far.^^

You're on the safe side with that! :D
I once experienced an insurance agent which made an appointment at a doctor's office so he could make a proposal personally and without interference.
So why shouldn't steam have a try x)

Zeeaire: Just letting off some STEAM...
Steam is a monopoly. This is why their supports sucks and most likely always will. This is a company that had to be dragged into court to offer refunds and still (though many have complained) has inconsistent and marginal labeling of added DRM requirements like Ubisoft's Uplay.

Ultimately they're betting the social features of their client and cheap game prices will overshadow the bullshit anti-competitive practices and nonexistent support.

Navagon: Check your email. Have you received anything regarding changing your details from Steam?

darthspudius: Surely nothing that stupid? Would never of thought someone would fall for that.
imagine how dumb the average gamer can be. now lower your standards.

you live in a country who mostly voted for tories, in a recession, to cut their own benefits. surely you can imagine?
You won't find any complaints about complaining about steam from me. Lock me out of my X-com with forced patches! Die!
Ah, so that is what that green bit is.
I use Pixelvision skin on steam & recently, a green bit appeared top left, thought had bugged lol

As for phone number, they can fook orf & then some ;)

Yarp. Oddly I find the "discussions" sections on a lot of indie / early-access games to be quite decent on the whole though - but most people dont go to those places.

In fact... its usually just me telling the dev to add graphic options and rebindable controls or I cant play. :(
step 1: make a ticket that your account has been compromised (add ALL the information they ask for in the 1st post)
step 2: contact local consumer affairs office (or whoever handles consumer complaints for Steam in Germany)
step 3: watch as they respond
It sadly sounds like you had the EXACT same thing happen to you that I did-someone hacked your account. What I listed above worked for me except I contacted WA consumer affairs since I am in the US. If you contact them, you won't have to wait 3+ weeks for a response. Once you get your account back, you cannot trade for 15 days.

You are probably right , i curently playing a game which gone out of early access since two weeks or so (Bloodlust : Shadowhunter), in comparaison the subforum is quite relaxing ;)
