I had a similar problem once, I had changed my email and forgotten my password (I hadn't used steam in quite a while).

As requested, i sent a photo of the receipt and cd case (and key), and they fixed it up promptly.

Overall I prefer steam because:
I don't like optical disks, I don't like paying excessive mark-ups in Australian stores, and all of my game purchases are researched, rather than whims whilst in store, hence it's good to be able to pay, download, and run the software quickly.

If my account was stolen (an I was unable to get my titles back), I'd be thinking differently, however.

I find that retail/store price strange.

I realise that as games come in overpriced, but if you have a bit of patience the prices comes down drastically after about 3 months. I always picked up the IL2 series for about 1/3 the price of pre-ordered.

I think today retail play on the impatience of the 'now now' youth, and they succer them completely with high prices. I would do the same, and Steam/UBI will be doing the same, if not already.

Collective bargaining, the power of the consumer is a powerfull tool... if used properly.

I'm curious to know if there is a human behind steams 'helpdesk', because if there is, they are really thick... I mean thick as, not one brick, but two.

The replies I'm getting look to be automated... don't these people learn anything ?
