My girlfriend plays on my Steam account.

She plays on it more than I do since I don't have that much time to game anymore thanks to college, so of course she changes everything like the profile picture and biography and all that good stuff. Of course, you know how guys are with women in an online video game, so she decided to take advantage of that.

She started flirting with this one 15 year old (she's 17), over a game of Team Fortress 2 and become friends. 2 days later, she convinced him to buy her Plants vs Zombies, a game I always wanted but never got to purchasing myself. She sent me a picture to show that it was gifted rather than her paying for it herself.

I never had a problem with her playing on my Steam. But now I WANT her to play on my account. Just thought I'd share that story since it made my day :)

WOW!!.....a golddigger, just the kind of female all guys should avoid.

I wonder if it works both ways. Maybe I should start flirting with that chick that's always playing COD on my favourite server...

How did the 15 year old manage to buy something over steam? Sorry mate, but he may be a lying pedophile so you should tell your girl to be more careful next time :P _Pedro_

If I remember correctly, she said he has a debit card or Visa gift card or something similar. Pedophile or not, she managed to convince him to get my account a game. Since all you need to do is have somebody on your friend's list to gift them something, I doubt she had to give ANY personal information what so ever. So in the end, it's all good to me :lol:

I saw a post like this coming the moment I pressed "submit" haha. I can assure you she's not a gold digger. She told me beforehand she was gonna do this, kinda like a "challenge" so to speak to prove to me that most (not all) gamers online are immature kids that can't resist a female.

But damn I didn't think she was gonna be able to pull it off. I don't think she even has a mic.

My Steam is right there in my signature if you want to check it out. Feel free to add me (but it would most likely be her playing) but let her know that it's a guy from GameSpot. If she flirts with you, I suggest you tell her that her boyfriend told you the story of what she did to the poor kid. She shouldn't do it again, but if she does (just to be a badass/gold digger), put her in line and not to even bother trying haha. :P

This one time I was playing some Burnout on xbox before bed htis one night and my gf at the time said it looked fun and wanted to give it a try.

Needless to say we started takign turns and these guys could hear her in the background and where screaming out all these ridicolous words, she couldnt stop laughing though at how rude and mean these guys where for no reason to a female :lol:

Of course in the morning I noticed 10 new friend invites. Women and girls enjoy videogames to people, its not just men :lol:

And there are a few female gamers who I play TF2 with on PC and they get hounded all the time but they are use to it and usually end up owning the guys in tf2 anyways :P

You sure can tell alot about some people by how they talk online or curse all the time, a little frightening how some people act online if you ask me. :P

It's still under my email, password, and such so I'm not worried too much LOL. But yea, after seeing what she wrote in the biography, it's pretty much HERS now haha.

Considering it was to prove a point about kids online and the fact that she got money out of some kid to benefit BOTH of us, I don't mind 8)

There's something seriously wrong with you. I don't let my wife install programs on my computer without me checking things out first. Years ago I kind of let her have free reign to do as she wanted....big mistake. I had to battle it out with viruses due to her checking random emails and clicking on the damn links for things in myspace/facebook and crap-ass sites like that. She's not allowed to do anything more than check her email (not allowed to open ones on my computer that she doesn't know who they're from, she can turn on her laptop if she wants to open them), she's not allowed to download or install anything without my permission. She used to check my email for me while I was out, but with spam emails, she'd just open them up and I'd have to work on killing out viruses.....so I had to change my email password because she wouldn't stop opening every damn email that popped up in my inbox after I told her not to. If she wants a computer where she can do what she wants on it, I'll build her something cheap that'll handle all her needs (she doesn't game so a fairly cheap build would suit her needs fine)....but she seems content with how I handle things. It's MY computer, not her's. She's got a laptop (although it's a Mac - ick!) so she can do most of her crap there if she really wants to follow links and download junk. You've got too much trust in your girl not to royally screw something up on your account and/or computer. If your girl runs your account from a different IP than you do, you're breaking the user agreement rules on Steam and they can ban your account, so be careful if this is the situation. You cannot share accounts. Just a friendly piece of advice on your Steam account usage.neatfeatguy

"***** if you open another spam email on my computer so help me..." *raises hand*

My thoughts exactly, I didn't get my first credit card till I was 17 and most of my peers weren't able to get one until they were in college. It's possible he had a debit card but it sounds a little sketchy.

Ragingbear505

I received my first debit card when I hit my 13th birthday. It's not a shocker.

My girlfriends always on my laptop streaming tvshows or just browsing. Maybe your wife is a technology idiot, or you need better anti-virus protection? :/

Also, steam doesn't ban for multiple ip logins, even at the same time. I shared my account with a friend over the summer, never had any trouble, except the annoyances of him playing online when I wanted to play online at the same time.

I find this somewhat offensive and sad for your sake. My girlfriend knows what not to do on the internet and alot of that is from common sense. She knows the difference between spam and regular emails and she's aware enough to know what sites are pretty damn bogus. I'm sorry that you're wife is pretty slow in this area but please don't say that "something's wrong with me" and assume my girlfriend's gonna wreak havoc.

I'll have you know not all women are technologically imparied. Mine may not be the brightest in this section, but she sure as hell is not that much of an idiot. I will thank you for looking out for me though about my Steam account. But really bro? :|

If you don't mind, I would like to friend your lover just to see what would happen. If she tries that, I'm gonna be like, Your bf told me you were gonna try that, so NO FREE GAME FOR YOU!!!!!spiderman120988

She's just used to her crappy Mac's, no one out there cares enough to code viruses for Macs that matters to the standard population. She uses Macs only at work with her graphic design job and her laptop at home for any freelance work or if she has to work from home....other then using my computer for email, she hardly touches a PC.

As for your comment about Steam not caring, well, maybe they come off as that way....but it clearly states in the Steam EULA, part 2 (Licenses), section E (restriction) that you are not allowed to share accounts. Maybe you could educate yourself on the EULA for Steam if you happened to read it. So, like I said before, I was only offering some friendly advise because at any one time Steam might say "Ban!" and close your account.

So, here is a link to the Steam EULA so you can read up on it if you every so desire to.

Just because something is in the license agreement does not mean it will be enforced. Valve/Steam are far from stupid, and disabling an account for almost any reason would be terrible publicity. They even go as far as giving out free L4D2 copies when they mess up, because public image means alot for an almost monopoly like steam. Common sense brah

You're in college and she's 17? EGADS!!!

True_Sounds

And because it is in their EULA, they can and will enforce it when they see fit. They won't need any other reason other then you were sharing your account. You can argue with it all you want, but it's a fact.

Also, the reasoning behind them giving out L4D2 keys wasn't because they wanted to make up for banning accounts for reasons laid out in their EULA, they gave out keys to those people that were mistakenly banned from MW2 due to faulty programming in their anti-cheat software.

Just because you haven't been banned for sharing your account doesn't mean it can't or won't happen. If they ever so feel the urge to do so, they'll ban you for it. It's logged into their system from which IP an account logs on from....most likely nothing will come from this (but you can't predict future actions from Valve) sharing of accounts, but the slightest misstep from you or your friend could flag the account (accidental cheating, duplicate key use or something even really basic that just flags the account) and they'll say, oh...account sharing! Ban!

Those are usually the times we hear about accounts being banned due to sharing, just because of a mishap. But you can do as you wish...you may be lucky and nothing ever happens or you'll learn the hard way.

I was only trying to be helpful. However, trying to be helpful and explain the reasons to the possible actions of getting your account banned has been rejected by you (and possibly others that are reading this, who knows). So I'll stop here.

Well don't talk to us about it man. Communicate with your girlfriend about these issues!

You're in college and she's 17? EGADS!!!

(No I'm not.)

If she's manipulative like this now, just wait until the girl gets into college. Almost impossible to keep up to date on everything she's doing.

@neatfeatguy:

it seems you're just a paranoid stickler for rules. Steam will never ban someone for sharing an account, you can quote me for truth if you like. It's just not a smart move for Valve, and believe me, Valve is one of the smarter businesses in pc gaming. The MW2/L4D2 example was an example to illustrate that, but if you are too blind in your argument to see the parallels I won't try and force feed them to you.

Your wife may have a low knowledge base when it comes to technology, but that doesn't mean all women are computer stupid.

TC, I believe you are the first "Steam Pimp" I've heard of. If I could get my bf to earn free **** for me, I'd be all over it (assuming he's not emailing nudes).

no, dude, she is an extremely self-aware woman, and provided she is loyal that is no problem.

Its like a girl at the bar who is with her boyfriend, but when a guy flirts with her and buys her a drink, she plays along solely to get free drinks; she even gives a couple to her man

Thats the best kind of girl!

It's surprising from my perspective. :P The legal age to own a credit card in my country is 18 and that is only if you have a steady income. If you're younger you can get a creditcard, but your parents will get the last say on any purchase you make. Meaning this kid would've have to go to this parents to ask them if he was allowed to purchase something :P Interesting though, I think I may have to try doing this myself if underage are actually allowed to make purchases :lol:

Cool, now why don't you buy a Hi-def camera & let you GF strip online to pay for it.
