The debate about the possession of digital content is the order of the day. To what extent do we own the games, expansions, skins and other add-ons we buy? Currently, all this depends on the internet connection and the existence of your account. A perfect example is found in the former professional player of CS:GO and Valorant, Bradley “Android” Fodor, who lost access to his Steam account a few days ago.
On March 25 of last year, the player shared some screenshots in which he recounted his problem with Valve: he lost access to his Steam account after changing the mobile number linked for authentication. Now, the system requires the original cd key which he used 15 years ago to create the account. Needless to say, all that is already dust.
This is how he himself related it:
I sent them my passport and my driving license. I also offered to give them my birth certificate, but it wasn’t enough to get the account back. It looks like I’ll never get my Steam account back. I put my life into getting the quarterfinal emblem/stickers, and because I changed my number, I will never see it again. How sad, man… who has the original cd keys of his with an account that is more than 15 years old.
The Android account is very valuable, as it had very exclusive and valuable cosmetics in CS:GO. We are not talking about paid skins that anyone can buy, that too, but about elements that he achieved by reaching the quarterfinals of the FACEIT London Major with Complexity in 2018. The value amounted to thousands of dollars 84,000 between CS:GO
Former professional player Nikola “LEGIJA” Ninić told Android that I had this problem too with Valve and that they finally returned the account after pressing.
