If you no longer have access to the email account associated with the account, there is nothing for it but to wait for Steam to respond. It may take several days.

I try to sign in to my account but the acess code keeps coming up so it would only be sent to my old e-mail tired to contact steam support but that doesn't do any good. so if its that way they can have my account and the games I never had problems with the other sites to change my e- mail address. thanks for the help really appreciated it Dianne It's too bad you tried to enter an access code. From this ***Rock Paper Shotgun article***The exploit had let folks take over accounts whose username they knew by abusing the password recovery feature. By saying they’d forgotten the password, they could select the option to send a recovery code to the account’s registered e-mail address – but then skip that step by entering nothing where the code should go. If you'd known about that, you could have gotten your account back without the access code.

One mans garbage is another's treasure... Oh, I agree, BrownEyedTigre and I surely hope Steam stays a treasure for you Sadly it is most definitely "one man's garbage" for me. When I (and others too) purchased a game that turned out to have a flaw that rendered it totally unplayable, I was never able to get support nor has the flaw ever been addressed

Reading this thread makes me glad I only use GOG.

If I have problem with steam, usually it is because I didn't do something correctly or I played with the wrong selection. Same here MaG.

You do not own your games.
If you are prepared to give away your rights as a consumer in order to purchase and play your games that’s up to you, but please be very careful when logging into your account.
Regards Cari. Really? We don't own them? That's why I really prefer owning the disc. At least on GOG I can copy the executable file on CD.

Steam has to abide buy the law of whatever country they are trading in (as does any company) so being a US company won't make any odds outside the US.
I think when Steam works, as it always has for me then it's great. It's when something goes wrong it seems sadly lacking (going by other peoples' experiences) and Steam themselves don't seem overly bothered about improving the situation. This is one of the reasons I won't buy full priced games from them - I only ever buy heavily discounted games.

Steam is the highest revenue generating source for developers and publishers. Believe it or not, they are the favorite among most people.
And another point to mention is that GoG often refuses games that you all are asking for. I know the developers personally that are being denied because GoG feels they have two small of a fanbase. Sometimes things are not always what they appear to be.

GoG does have things to fix, too. They often leave it up to other gamers to help with tech problems, and in my opinion, the gamers did not set up GoG nor do they make the rules there. GoG people themselves need to help gamers with problems and explain how things work. I've been with GOG from the very start and in my experience their "support" system has been absolutely top class from Day One And I've never had to wait more than 24 hours to get it
