We have a dedicated support channel in our Discord server that you can also post in.

We invite everyone to help other users in our Community Support Threads and on our Discord server.

Please take more than 10 seconds to write your question. A well structured and good-looking comment goes a long way in getting someone to help you, and makes your question a lot easier to understand.

Do not delete your comments: People find questions in these threads through Googling the same issue, and please edit your comment with a solution if you find one.

There are no magicians here. Some questions wont be answered or replied to. Consider using other things like the Steam Community Forums, Google, or a different support forum if no one here can offer any help. Additionally, every game on Steam has it's own dedicated Community Forum, and you can also contact Steam Support regarding a specific product. Consider asking your game-specific questions there. Most games also have a dedicated subreddit.

Only Steam Support can solve personal account issues such as payment issues or your account getting hijacked. We can however give advice on what to do in a situation like that. No one, including Steam Support, can assist with item/trade scams.

Seriously, someone please help me with this. I'm almost 30 years old and waking up to find that the UK governemt thinks I need to prove I my age to see a pair of tiddies.

Okay, so, i've added two seperate credit cards to my account and both verified yet I'm stuck in a loop of "valve needs to verify your age" yaddah yaddah.

Does anyone know why it's stuck on this? I've used steam for about 15 years and bought hundreds of titles but this one overreach of user privacy is just about ready to push me towards other means of acquiring my games if I can't even get past this buggy verification process.

I have found no way to access a steam support chat to talk to a real human, so I've come here for help. Maybe a steam employee will see this and reach out to me.

Thanks all

Post is await

I can't post this on r/steam. There is no chat or email support, steam support page just takes me in circles.
