    **Q: Why do you KEEP asking my damn age throughout the store?**
    A: We’re with you on this. Unfortunately, many rating agencies have rules that stipulate that we cannot save your age for longer than a single browsing session. It’s frustrating, but know we’re filling out those age gates too.

    Well your parents might’ve made you your steam account before you were born. And you’re clearly 9 years old so yea!

    It wore me down, we’ve all just agreed that my birthday is now in January.

    At least they are nice enough to prefill Jan 1. I just scroll back the year.

    News Flash. Steam is now making sure that all of its users were born in January 1. Rip up your birth certificate

    I think they are required to do that by law. For users there is a simple solution 🙂 Augmented Steam, it bypasses tmit for you.

  8. Apparently, you created your account before you were born.

    Age gating is required by law in several countries, some regulations require the data to not be saved longer than a single session.

    Cos they don’t store that info basically

    Steam is your father that never loved you; the moment you tell it your birthday it immediately forgets it

    You could have given the account to a minor and they’re not old enough 🤔

    Is anyone well, well over the legal age yet still use a random year anyway that makes you way older? You do something for the first half of your life and it’s a hard habit to break.

    Because it doesn’t take that into account when asking it asks everyone no matter what

  15. My kids use my comp… they are not 18 and I sure as shit don’t want my 8 yo playing Cyberpunk

    Jan 1, 2000 will forever be my fake birthday

  17. Mine always goes to jan 1 1999, so it’s just clicking through

    ‘Cause account selling is a thing on steam.
