Not sure about all the personal stuff, but it is against the TOS to transfer the account.

Big answer is I DONT KNOW, but…

For payment/address stuff you could change them then try to revert to see if it works. For payment get a $5 gift card from Wal-Mart and set that as the credit card.

KISSmyOSFeddit,

I know accounts aren’t transferrable, but what are they gonna do? Ban me after I left their service? Ban the account? That wouldn’t be worse than just letting it sit unused.

Redredme,

On places likw g2a.com steam accounts are sold all the time.

The worse they can do is ban the account. Just give it away if you want.

Double triple check everything and let a friend try to dig around… Befor posting your Infos make a post and chose a random comment or so. This way you can verify it’s not a bot

This is done all the time to sell games that aren’t available as CD keys, against TOS.

The seller usually gives you a login to a webmail they control, and the account is tied to that email. You can then change the email on the account and you have access to the original email to confirm the move.

Be careful and double / triple check on help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata what information is stored on your account, especially chats, payment information, purchases, subscriptions and so on. But I agree regarding TOS if they ever find out the account will be locked most likely.

caut_R, do games w Is it possible to safely "give away" a Steam account to a stranger?

Too risky regarding personal info you might’ve overlooked IMO, maybe give it to a friend instead

And obviously it‘s against the ToS and might get the account banned but I assume you know that

I played TF2 since beta. I’ve played competitive (nothing major, just etf2l div 3) and been to a couple of lans. I have about 3000 hrs logged.

My mains are demo, soldier and scout. Heavy and spy I rarely play. I still hop on every now and then, on a community server that’s still going strong.

Your Steam account is tied to backed up cloud saves. I wouldn’t just give away the account to a complete stranger. Also Steam’s EULA forbids it, so any problem might lead to the account being closed.

I would only give my account to trusted people.

I only started tf2 last year but I’m almost at 100hr of playing heavy. He perfect in every way.

It should be fine. You’ll have to be thorough in removing personal information. I would prioritise giving it to someone I know rather than a complete stranger.

Everyone else seems to be very concerned about the terms of service, but I don’t know why ToS is of utmost importance to everyone suddenly. Anyone would gladly share their streaming service passwords, would previously rip CDs or DVDs, use VPNs to circumvent porn restriction laws in their country, lied in sites/apps to sign up as a teen, etc…suddenly Steam ToS is somehow sacrosanct.

This came up recently when Steam confirmed your account cannot be left to anyone else when you die. The conclusion everyone seems to mention there is: if you leave your username and password in your will, how would Steam ever know or enforce this?

Go ahead. Do what you want.

dirtySourdough,

I don’t think it’s so much a concern about violating the ToS as it is the consequences of violating it. Valve may be able to lock the account or close it if they have good reason to suspect the account has a new owner. An example of solid evidence of this may be changing the payment method for purchases, such that the name on a credit card doesn’t match the previous cardholder name on the steam account.

But if the new owner doesn’t plan on making new purchases on the account, it would probably be more difficult to confirm the account was transferred.

VaultBoyNewVegas,

I never gave out passwords for my accounts that I paid for no one is getting access to shit I pay for because if something goes wrong and the account is banned then I’ve pissed money down the drain.

brsrklf,

They’re talking about giving away their account. They don’t care about what happens to it, except maybe in the sense they’d prefer someone who wouldn’t waste it.

Rhynoplaz, do games w Is it possible to safely "give away" a Steam account to a stranger?

I wouldn’t post the login for random people to copy and paste. Still do all that other stuff to remove all traces of yourself from the account, but ask around and talk to people and when you find someone you want to offer it to, send it discreetly.

Cloud Saves may be difficult to deal with, depending on what games you play.

dogslayeggs, do games w Is it possible to safely "give away" a Steam account to a stranger?

I bought a Steam account back in 2007-ish. I wanted to play HL2 but didn’t want to create a Steam account. I thought then, and still think now, that I shouldn’t need to create an online account just to play an offline game.

The guy gave me his login information, and then I went in to change the email and all other info to generic info. I’ve been using that account for 17 years, but I did eventually have to give them real info to buy new games.

atocci,

You bought someone else’s Steam account because you didn’t want to make your own? As a form of protest?

dogslayeggs,

Not as a protest. I just didn’t feel the need to create an account for a game, so I bought an account that was already created.

atocci,

Did HL2 come with the account or did you just buy an empty pre-made Steam profile?

dogslayeggs,

The game came with the account. I ostensibly bought the game, but the guy gave me control of the account the game was locked to.

JackbyDev,

This is more like buying a used game and describing it like that would be less confusing lol

lnxtx, do rowerki w Czy opłaca się kupować droższe opony do roweru?
@lnxtx@feddit.nl avatar

Swego czasu używałem opony tańszej marki “Kenda” z zabezpieczeniem przed przebiciem “K-Shield Plus”.
Sprawdzały się.

Moim zdaniem nie trzeba inwestować w drogie Schwalbe.

Te parę miesięcy, które pojeździłem, to chyba właśnie na tej oponie. Wydaje mi się, że pomaga grubszy bieżnik (mowa o rowerze trekingowym), z przodu mam prawie górski i tam chyba jest spokój przez rok. Ta która została przebita, miała bardzo delikatny bieżnik.

Katana314, do gaming w Best Soulslike game for beginners?

I do not enjoy Soulslikes, but I really liked Tunic. Some things it has going for it:

  • It is extremely nonverbal, but what it does give you is invested in helping you figure out a path to success. By intention, that’s not always obvious. You may need to work out for yourself when to dodge or to block.
  • The atmosphere is bright and cheery, though it has its spooky and atmospheric bits.
  • The camera is top down, so you don’t need to manage the camera while playing.
  • Dying is not very punishing. You lose a bit of currency, which you can retain at the same spot; and that currency isn’t often critical to progress

Polecam klejenie detki.

@lemat_87@szmer.info avatar

To wydaje się lepsze od wymiany dętki, ale ja próbuję zmniejszyć w ogóle szansę jej przebicia. Czy z klejeniem dętek jest problem, że łatki się odklejają lub ucieka pod nimi powietrze?

dj1936,
!deleted2556 avatar

Tak tak: ja miałem na myśli kwestie wymiany. Co do opon to się nie wypowiadam.

Ja kleję i jest git, a kupiłem jakiś dziadowski zestaw (łyżki, klej, papier scierny, chyba 6 latek) za jakieś grosze typu 20zl.

Na razie jedna opone mam sklejona w dwóch miejscach (albo w 3) i jest ok.

Będę próbował kleić w takim razie, szkoda za każdym razem nową dętkę kupować.

No pewnie!

“Wszystko jest trudne nim stanie się proste”.

A wożąc ze sobą sprzęt do klejenia (np. taki allegro.pl/…/zestaw-do-klejenia-detek-7164222848 , chociaż ja zamiast “tarki” używam papieru ściernego) i pompkę możesz nawet na trasie sobie skleić.
