There is no option to go public

You account is private, so that is why. You have too many privacy settings on your account. For example, i cannot see your account info since it is private. This also will effect screenshots and posts. You need to make your account less private and set alot of the settings to public.

Hi, no. My account says public.


I did some googling, I think I have to spend money to unlock it. I was gifted the game by a co worker, but that doesnt unlock limited status it would seem. I am new to pc gaming and steam. So if I stick around I will have to toss some money at the problem. Money seems to make most problems go away lol.

Oh yea, you might have a limited account. At first i thought your account was set to private, but that also would explain it. You need to spend 5 dollars to unlock it. You cannot get the money gifted to you. You need to put the money on yourself and spend it. Easiest way is to go to a store and buy a steam card. It is very easy to do.

If a screenshot is public then it can be viewable by others even if the author's account visibility setting is set to private. In this case it's a limited account but for private account, just paste in the profile URL and then add /screenshots at the end and all public ones will be displayed.

That's because your screenshots are private and your account is partially public. I am talking about people accessing public screenshots from users on privated accounts.

I am new to steam, I set the pictures to public but they are still not accessible. Ill just buy a game once I beat this game and it will hopefully fix my issue.

I can fully understand the buying a game to unlock access to a full account, free vs paid. I dont have to like it, but I fully understand the reason for it.

As already been said in this thread, you have a limited account. You must either add $5 or more to your wallet or spend this amount or more in the Steam Store to remove this restriction.
