    I know it’s probably to stop scalpers, but it does seem weird that there are requirements that need to be met in order to even buy one.

    I think the biggest one for me is the “account must be in good standing”

      This is 100% to curb scalpers… When the initial rush has cleared, I’m pretty sure they will loosen the restrictions

        It’s not even enough though, if it doesn’t even require you to have purchased games before people have multiple accounts.

          From the article:

          • Your account must be in good standing on Steam

          • You must have made a purchase on Steam prior to April 27, 2026
