I know this is a weird question, but here it is
Why buying/selling/trading accounts is against steam subscriber agreement?

More than hundreads of steam users has accounts with 14 years badge, some of them made on sept 2003, some of them uses for business,some of the uses to people think "look everyone im legit xdxdxdxdxdxd".

Even with evicences, valve don't evem care about them.

If they dont even care, isnt better to rewrite the SSA, since almost nobody on steam community follows SSA?

If acc is yours = your responsablity.

If the user tries to sells accs = user responsablity.

I dont even get it if nobody follows the rules

Because alot of accounts contain personal info like phone number and email and its also done to prevent scammers along with the fact i think you could get games for cheaper if someone in china had u.s dollars in their account.

Valve already terminate accounts if they have enough evidence.

Because you'd be able to start your own business that way. You'd buy games cheap, then sell the accounts, for a little profit. But you're not paying for the actual licence. Which would make it unfair.
Good point.

Because original owners can submit proof of ownership to regain access at any time.

If an account is contested enough, no user will have access to it anymore.

What if they dont?

Like a fresh 14 years old account with 5 games minimum and 0 hours on record?

I've had my account for a long time, and I would never give it away. Even for a million dollars I wouldn't... There's not much to gain if you just end up having another account later anyway.
Good argument

Most are used to try to scam others and eventually get some type of ban.

Why is this any of your concern though? They are NOT your accounts.

:qr:
Nor are they meant to be sold as you cannot buy the rights to that account in any legit way.

Yeah it`s rare, in the last time i found a user that was dumb enough to write his age on this 14 years old account (after he bought it, and claimed it on the forum) , and he is still using this 14 years old account, even when he is just 13 years old, he removed all traces of the former owner , and is not collecting + reps and high level friends, sadly i already reported him, but nothing happend.

They are NOT your concern because they are NOT your accounts.

:cfacepalm:
Okay, whatever you say.

So you kinda support users to buy/sell/tradr accounts.

Copy that
