Selling Steam accounts with games on them

[BountyHunter]

So i didnt know about this one but looks like alot of games are sold with a steam account so you prety much have to go on that account to play the game. Why is steam not doing anything about that ? Isnt one of the Rules of Steam so you not allowed to sell accounts ?

They don't need to stop it on that site. They can take action on the accounts after they are sold.

Most of the time, you will never know they took action on the accounts by looking at them.

How do you suggest that they stop it?

You should remove that site from your title.

That site gets censored for a reason. Please do not bypass the word filter.

Fast forward to a future forum thread saying something like:

"Help I can't get into my account and Steam Support isn't helping unless I provide them with some oddly specific piece of information about the account I don't know because potato"

And how do you suggest that they do that?

Note: It's not as easy as you seem to think.

Also, why are you advertising that known shady grey market site in the thread title?

Going after 3rd party sites isn't that easy nor is it efficient. Even if that cesspool of scammers got taken down or they stopped selling accounts, there's countless other sites that still sell accounts.

Every time you squash one, two more pop up.

prety much so they dont go for that site. Is i just say a random site they wont know about what site im talking about. And im not advertising anything just by saying hey there is that Y site that is doing something wrong and after u read this you go there ...then you dont realy understand what we are talking about here then.

it is advertising it by forum standards

that is why it is intentionally blocked and you had to go out of your way to post it

steam does not like it advertised that way

if you have a way that can effectively remove these sites

i suggest you cash in on it and sell it to the companies

they would love to know what it is

You didn't answer the question: How do you suggest Valve stops that site?

The website is filtered on Steam. You wrote the name explicitly like this and are circumventing said filter. People will look it up, because they're curious or might actually even be interested in what they're selling over there. You are advertising the website this way.

I wish Valve could do something about all these gambling sites too!

Unfortunately, Valve can't do anything about third-party sites.

As stated above, they don't need to take action against websites, they can just take action on the account itself and all other accounts owned by the person who sold or bought the account. It is one of the worst things that can happen to a Steam account. Even worse than a VAC ban. To make this more clear, If you buy or sell or trade Steam accounts, all of the accounts that you own are restricted.
