Steam - is possible to upload my own game, if I'm only 17?

[Bylem]

Hi. Sorry for my not very well English. I want upload my game to Steam but I'm only 17 years old. Game will be ready to upload in October (I hope). Is it possible? I can get my parents permission to do this but They don't have account on Steam. I want upload game on my Steam account. For now I accepted all regulations on Steam works and I have to pay 100$. I won't do this because I don't know what will be next? ID scan or what? If it would be ID scan then they will be know, I'm not 18. (In Poland you have to have 18 years to be adult)

And what about earning money on games? Is it possible to withdraw earned money to Steam Wallet? I next year I'll create business and then want earn real money.

I don't know how to help you but if your game makes it to Steam then advertise it so i can find it and play it.

There will be a legal contract between you and Steam you'll have to enter into so you'll have to be old enough to be able to sign that contract (or be able to get someone else to sign for you). However this should just all be part of the process you are already going down, you make one submission from one Steam account, pay the money, fill out the legal documents for the "company" that is producing the game, if you need your parents to sign they won't need a Steam account for that you'd just have to include them in your "company". It will take a few months to get the game up anyway (as they don't let you immediately release you have to have the store page up for a certain period before you will be able to release the game.

The money from your game will go to a bank account not to a Steam wallet and you will have to provide those banking details as part of the forms you are already filling out. So no need to worry on that account.

Thank You for answer! I decided to make 1 person company when I will be 18 and then try to upload my game. Trying to bring my parents into it was not good idea
