Today, steam decided, as it does, every few weeks, to ask me to re-log in.
Last week my storage hdd died. I lost my password list.
Steam, being the patheticly stupid program that it is, requires you to give the answer to a secret question, in order to retrive/reset passwords. My answer was in the same file as my password, also lost...
So I cant retrive my password, in an automated fashion.
Ive sent an email, to support@steampowered.com (I think that was the address). Shortly after, two automated replys, for lost passwords arrived, again requiring the secret question answer.
Where should I email for a quick responce?
Steam being crap, as it is, will not let me use the same cd key for another account, so I cannot create another account.
So without them resetting it, it means I have to buy another copy of the game, which I am not doing. Assuming the worst, and they refuse to reset it, can I sue them? (the original hl licence gives you the right to play the game for life, iirc). If I did, it would be just for the sake of it, knowing Id probably lose money, but so would they, over just giving me my password...
Back to secret questions, Secret questions are comleatly pointless and are just annoying. Supopose I chose "what school did I go to?", as I only left school a few years ago, most people that know me in real life, wouldnt have a hard time finding that out...
One would also assume that these people are also the people, that are most likely to be able to access my email account - as opposed to people I dont know.
So my answer, for "what was your pets name?" (note that my only pets were fish, and they died about 12 years ago, I cant remember..), was compleatly random...
Anyway, im bored.... someone suggest a better game for me to get instead, if they dont reset it, I wont be buying hl again!
