I've been wondering about the legalities and implications of selling my Steam account. As a frequent user of the platform, I've built up quite a library of games and achievements over the years. However, with the rise of cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance, I'm considering whether I could potentially monetize my Steam account. Could you elaborate on the possible risks, legal considerations, and potential avenues for such a transaction? I'm particularly curious about the security of both the buyer and seller in such a transaction, as well as any potential implications for my Steam account and the games I've purchased on it.

    Regardless of whether the account is in the possession of the buyer or seller, the account will be locked.

    Steam accounts hold a strict policy against any form of sale or transfer.

    The locking is permanent, and there is no way to reverse this action.

    These accounts are solely intended for the personal use of their respective creators.

    The buyer, in particular, risks losing access to any games, purchases, or achievements tied to the account.
