darktjm: I just got an unsolicited Steam Privacy Policy Update email from noreply@steampowered.com. Looking at source and headers, I believe it's genuine. I have never signed up for anything on Steam's site. I am not, nor have I ever been a Steam customer. How the hell did they even get my email address? (well, I guess I don't hide it very well, but I never gave it directly to them) I can't even complain to Steam about it. Not only does the email not have an opt-out button (in violation of several nations' laws), but I can't contact Steam *unless I create an account there*.

Sorry for bringing this up here, but I'm not about to create a Steam account just so I can complain that I don't have a Steam account but yet am apparently in their email database. Does anybody have a way of contacting them that doesn't involve me getting a Steam account? I guess I'll just have to forward it to spam@uce.gov and be done with it. I don't think that will get my email out of their databases, though.

Edit: I have gone ahead and forwarded the email to the FTC, for all the good that will do.
