    lost account - steam

    Hi all

    I lost a steam account. Basically, I forgot all the basic information to give to Steam Support to get it back.
    And since they are reading from a script and refuse to use their brains they won't budge.

    So now I'm looking for some outside help in hopes that someone might share some tips or I don't know... At this point, anything seems helpful...

    Regards

    Did you search your mail for something steampowered? Did you check your Paypal history?

    If you've bought anything on Steam previously a transaction ID from Paypal or bank might get you your account back. In the case you haven't spent anything on your account and have no transaction history, then why are you even bothering lol?

    i play a game on the account which i gotten for free before moved over to steam store. (and having to pay it now - just seems silly) i tried explaining this to steam support, they simply refuse to understand.

    hence why im here asking if anyone might be able to help

    I'd just give up honestly, just rebuy the game and get on with your life. The time investment to deal with Steam Support for a single game is not gonna be worth it. I can't imagine a game that was given away for free at some point is going to be very expensive anyway.

    Contact steam and show them transactions if you have any
    So you can show them that you are owning this account

    I think there's pretty much no other option left. You need to start over, I just hope you weren't playing a ranked gamemode on this paid game you mentioned.

    I did play some rank matches on it.
    Guess thats how the cookie crumbles, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.. and this case an account with some rank on it

    Just find it amusing how Steam support keeps reading from the scripts. Wonder how many people are out there who cant get there accounts back for various reasons - partly due to Steam support being silly.
