lmfao yep never mind, they're not offering any other way to verify I'm an adult, this is actually so fucking stupid I can't even
Replies
Clarification: I can still play the game but I can't see the store page. Also I'm unsure if it'd allow me to reinstall it - not willing to fuck around and find out right now. I'm legit so angry about this bullshit.

It gets even better: anyone in my steam family can still download and install this game via my account, even if they're not age verified.

Oh it continues to get better. Games marked as 18+ because of violence? Fine! Games marked as 18+ due to tiddy and maybe other nudity? BANNED.

i dont know about the current gen, but when i was a kid this would of just incentivized me to pirate content. which comes with its own set of risks.

"additional deterrent against circumventing age verification by sharing a single Steam user account among multiple person" say Valve. Like, how? If you're sharing account, it's shared, payment included.. It's still a garbage move, but it accepted a debit MC as valid, apparently.. O.o

*small dunk of ying head on desk, repeatedly* not offering an alternative is particularly idiotic.

The UK law is terrible enough but this has to be the shittiest possible way to engage in compliance with it - and Steam shouldn't be complying, they ought to be using their position to advocate for change and to push back.

Presses the Nuke Button, doesn't solve anything, instead infuriates everyone... For what kids?!! Kids shouldn't be online without responsible parents to begin with... I say it before and I'll say it again.

Gonna be honest, I really wish there was other ways to verify your age without having to go with Credit Cards or ID (which in most countries only considers Driving Licenses or Passport). Not everyone has those. I don't have CCs nor Passport and I don't drive, I'd be screwed, despite being 34.

This is how stupid lawmakers are... really.

Same boat here its so bloody frustrating and the prices for passports keep bloody going up which don't help the ID stuff x.x...

I feel this big time. I recently bought a citizenship card because my only form of ID is my passport...

I would believe that a simple photo with your name, your username, a provided OTU Code, etc. in the shot should be sufficent to prove it. Unless they are that terrible at judging people facial features.

I have a citizenship card cause i need ID for so much as i cant afford a passport but moat things want bloody passports which are just so expensive its why i don't have a bank account and im 31 x.X

The way they are going, in the very future i'd honestly see it become. Do you want my SIN?, the pass of my BA?, and my job with it?!!! Do you need my fingerprints and dna sample as bonus?!

You know ironically enough, my way of complying with their demands would be to cuss them out in very old english or french, in a fashion that there is no way someone underage would ever know... (and just to put salt on it I wouldn't be surprised that some people verifying wouldn't get it either!) xD

I'll give you my steam account so you can log in and play all the games I own which probably none of which you'd actually be interested in haha!

Awwww thank you <3 it's alright though! I mostly play baby games so I should be okay! (and the rest can go on the gf's account, who does have a CC!) I'm curious now though... what games do you play?
sep 1, 2025, 3:37 pm • 1 0 • view
I'm glad you still got a way to play your games, and I wonder what constitutes a baby game for you! Other than my unhealthy obsession with minecraft (I like making pretty little cabins) I play a lot of idle games or incremental ones. But I have a few base building survival games too ^_^

I was honestly wondering about this, if they'd outright steal your own stuff from you.

I can still boot it but I can't access any of the store pages/community pages :)

(not expecting you to know the answer but) Does that include patch support/etc? Like is that something devs will have to offer as side-patches or something now?
