Cyber cafe account to personal account
Hi

My question is if it's possible to change my type of account to a personal one because i want to buy new games and trade items on steam and i cant do it.

This account was to time an cybercafe account that is closed for many years.
For that reason i want to know what i have to do and if you can help me solve this issue.

Thanks in advance!

I have already created a ticket and the answer was that:

Hello Andre,

the account belongs to the cafe, not to you, create your own account.

@wuddih This account it's 100% mine...

And the cyber in the one I was working no longer exists for a while already ... and I would then change type of account because it no longer serves a lot and make it mine for personal use ...

That cyber cafe account is still not yours even if the business no longer exists. All Steam accounts are non-transferable.

@Brujeira ... You also do not really understand, eh ... at the time, the boss of cyber is a member of my family, and cyber was bad and empty, I proposed to work for him then with him, so I buy this Account steam type cybercafe with my own mony so that it has more youngster and more client, understood?

Ah, I see... you bought the business iself, right? In that case, your question should be "I have this spare cybercafe account that the business no longer needs. How do I change it to a personal account for my own personal, private use?"

And the answer would still be... you don't. That account belongs to the business and not to you personally, even if you're the business owner. Accounts are strictly non-transferable and there's no way to do what you're trying to do.

Its possible to you to keep the same account but its gonna be wiped and you have to buy the games again. I had the same issue.
