I can't create a second account.

[VorteX]

Im creating a second account because i want a backup for when i get banned on a game or if my account gets hacked or something like that and it won't let me unless i spend ANOTHER $5 ON A GAME?!?!? why is this a thing? it's irrelivent and i don't know why its neccisary for me to bassically buy an account when they are free. can someone expalain why this is a thing? or if not then why isnt it removed? because i thinks it's pointless.

Games are linked to your account. Not to your computer.

Just don't get banned jeez

I don't get why it's necessary for you to make a second account.

You will have a limited account until you spend the $5. I don't get the whole 'in case I get banned' bit. Just don't do anything to get banned. There is nothing that makes it necessary to have a second account.

He/she is probably concerned about the 'accidental' VAC bans that occur often.

I wonder if they get freaked out by Bigfoot too.

Even if you were to get a second account, it wouldn't help do what you say you want it for.

Games are tied to the account. If the account was hacked, you would lose access to those games until you get it back.

Bans...If you shared the games with your second account and get a VAC ban using the second account, both accounts get a VAC ban and the first account loses the ability to use family sharing, removing game access for the second account.

The $5 requirement is to prevent phishing accounts from adding people randomly and sending phishing links to them, as well as other activity that can disrupt other users.

The in case part i get banned part is the 21 hour timeout on csgo. i would like to play more than 2 game at a time. until i get ranked obviously.

And is their a way i can make a completely separate account?

For that, you need to re-purchase the games anyways and that would satisfy the $5 requirements (assuming the game/s are equal to, or more then, $5).

This.

And its how it works...

Think about it this way, if all accounts were free...CSGO would have an even bigger smurf problem than it does now

Not exactly. To play the games your first account has, click on the first account's game, click play. It will pop up saying you need permission from the account. Blabity bla, another thing pops up assuming you use the same PC for both of them, click yes, done.

If ya have TF2 just spend 5 dollars on that.

So what i can gather is that people think i was going to smurf, (i'm no ranked) and i don't plan on creating a smurf account at any time. also it seems that i would have to pay $5 to have a second account so i'll just stick to one.
