The title/submission is a bit misleading. The tweet says "locked out" and not "suspended". Based on his follow-up tweets this looks more like a password lockout, or owner-initiated account-locking in case of theft: [1]<p>> its fun that Steam locked me out of my account and support won't respodn [sic] to me. my favorite thing is owning thousands of dollars' worth of games im not allowed to play<p>Follow-up thread: [2]<p>#1<p>> does anyone know how to get ahold of @Steam support besides emailing and waiting? it's been 2 days and i cant log into my account :(<p>#2<p>> Valve probably beats out every other company on earth, in terms of how much money i've given them vs. how much their customer support despises my very existence<p>#3<p>> me: here's $5,000 over sixteen years, can i reset my password?<p>> Steam: hahaha who the fuck are you, stop bothering me. fuck off you piss bitch<p>[1] : <a href="https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6416-FHVM-3982" rel="nofollow">https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6416-FHV...</a><p>[2] : <a href="https://twitter.com/RobDenBleyker/status/1328351807400243201" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/RobDenBleyker/status/1328351807400243201</a>
Does anyone know any details or is this just a random guy (he's the cartoonist for Cyanide and Happiness right?) making nonspecific, unverified claims on twitter?
As much as I get the outrage I also see where valve is coming from.<p>Reasons for suspension usually imply you don’t want the person playing either.<p>eg basically all provider tend to lock accounts if automated fraud detection flags it.
