Title: Steam Question
Post by: CountDeMoney on October 11, 2009, 04:16:19 PM
OK, for years I've simply autologged in to Steam.
Now it wants my username and password.
Forgot my password, and my email originally registered to Steam has changed.  Naturally, I can't have my password reset if I can't access a previous email address.

So how the hell do I get ahold of them?

Can you call them or contact a human in some fashion?  I'm not sure.

LOL, can't contact them, since I can't access my email of record.  Can't change the email, either.

No solution for you but Steam has started asking for my user name and password recently too now, and I'm lucky I still remember it.  It's fucking annoying

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with that problem. Very annoying!  :mad:

Well, that was faster and less annoying than I thought it would be.

Good job, Steam.

Side note, my account was recovered and now wondering if anyone still plays Red orchestra and if the two addons are any good?

Nobody plays the Mare Nostrum, because the EuroNazifanbois can't stand the Italians.
The Darkest Hour is a lot of fun, you can find me as "CaptJohnBrown" on the big servers.  Much more popular.

You'd like DH, they've got a Saving Private Ryan scenario. Complete with the record player.
