Immoli: What do they ask for as proof...?

StingingVelvet: Pictures of your product keys or your original credit card information.
Seriously? Credit card info? Sounds like something that would be difficult even for the person who legitimately owns the account.
Maybe I just have a bad memory, but there is no way I'd be able to remember all the numbers on a credit/debit card years after replacing it.

It's generally a good idea to keep old credit cards in a safe place in case you ever need the info again, but yes I agree it can be difficult. I'm sure Valve sees that as our problem, not theirs.

Actually, with old credit cards the banks tell you to destroy them ASAP. So I doubt this is viable.

You can do it anyway, but it's a bad idea. And I'm sure Valve thinks that it is our problem, I mean considering what they do to people that report their mistakes to the credit card company.

Very true - I had to cut up my card (through the chip) and mail it back actually.

Valve are just assholes really - I had the same thing happening to me a few years back and they wanted a copy of the receipt of Half Life. This was in 2005!!! You think I keep 7 year old receipts because some anal company wants to be greedy?

So after several messages with Steam support, they said okay, give me a picture of the CD key tied to your account. So I replied, fine, but I have 5 different ones (I bought quite a few copies of HL back before Steam made them useless - mostly to give to friends online so they could play Counter Strike with me). So I didn't know which one I had used on Steam because, at the time, Steam was freaky and ATE several keys!

So I sent a picture of the 5 cd keys I had, with the explanation and nearly lost my account because they thought I was scamming them or something. Idiots. I had to tell them it was for a local LAN before they finally helped me.

Navagon: Oh and why do people keep writing it as GoG? Is the Old somehow meaningless now?
This bothers me too. Let's all stick to this, why don't we?

On allegro.pl which basically is polish e-bay there are a lot of steam accounts for sale. I guess people act on assumption that nobody at Valve can read polish.

well I like writing GoG simply because I think it looks cooler that way

though when writing the full website address I always use correct capitalization, I honestly didnt think it would bother anyone that much
