They send emails now. It used to only be sent if you used the https://store.steampowered.com/account/registerkey page but it now does it for all places you add keys.

so now even if i receive a key from a dev i will receive a email. thats so stupid. it should be only if i bought a game because of the receipt.

People have been requesting email records for game keys regardless of how you obtained them and Valve finally decided to do so.

How many games do you activate so that an email is an issue for you? I don't get it.

Get yourself some bundles from Humble Bundle or Fanatical and let me know.

I activated 48 keys today, because I was going through my old Humble Bundles and decided to register a bunch of stuff I had forgotten to do at the time.

So now I have 48 emails to delete. And I only stopped because Steam told me I was activating too many at one time. I still have at least another 100 unregistered keys, possibly closer to 150.

Edit: I miscounted. It was 48, a couple were from Steam purchases.

Filter them out

Really, how hard could it be to filter and bulk delete them or make a rule that autodeletes or moves them (or simply add them to the spam filter)? BTW I'm glad they send those now since it got hard to track activations after a while.

Same question here, I have a very powerful and clean mailing system that I do not tolerate spam on, I'm about to signal Steam email as phishing. Also it's illegal in europe not to have opt-out options for emails

Just do not use Steam if you do not like it! :)
Problem solved.

You can opt out of marketing emails but not transactional emails.
