Have a F3EAR Steam acc, only 1 game, you get email, password and password from email associated with the account.
I already beat the game so no need for it any more XD

Just to be wary the Steam Subscriber Agreement says:

You may not sell or charge others for the right to use your Account, or otherwise transfer your Account.
which would allow them to potentially terminate the account.

Steam locks accounts to machine signatures now in order to crack down on any potential stealing of Steam accounts. That will compound the difficulty of selling it.

Especially since Steam Guard (the lockdown feature) is still utter shite and always wants me to reactivate any of the computers I run Steam on, regardless of whether I shut Steam down two minutes ago on that very computer for a Windows restart or not. Although at least they've fixed the fact that it wouldn't let me go into Offline mode without bitching about "this computer has not been used blah blahblah..."

Way to get the normal users to betatest a feature for you, Valve. :doh

It works pretty well for me, and I think it's great if any douchebags want to hijack or steal your account because even if they can get your password they can't do anything to get in unless they also have access to your email.

Overall it's really not a hindering problem, you just set the password to a temporary one, get them to try to log in once, send them the code, they log in and then they can change the password, the email, secret question, then from that point on they have total control of the account. Easy.

EDIT: I just restarted steam because I'm having severe problems downloading a game, and when I restarted it it said I was logging in from a new computer. What the flying dick is this crap.
