Does Steam purge level 0 accounts every now and then? (NOT Limited users, just level 0).
Just wondering.

Just so you know if you don't, private profiles always show as level zero.

I know, but that was not what I was asking

So if a user was not limited but still level zero, you would have Valve purge their account ?

I was wondering if Valve does. Just asking.

As far as I know and according to the SSA...

accounts are not ever deleted.

Accounts with games are never deleted, they do (or used to) routinely delete old accounts without any games on them.

It is possible to have a "0 Level" account with games, due to activating a retail key. So, no, they don't specifically delete level 0 accounts.

So if I understand correctly...

Level 0 account, not limited, with Cd key activated = immune to deletion?

As far as we know, yes, they're never deleted.

I've a ~5 year old, level 0, still limited alt account made for testing purposes I do not access from a Steam client since 600+ days and it's still there.
