πŸ’€ VALVE TARGETS THE OLDEST, MOST VALUABLE ACCOUNTS

Steam account "digits" show account age - lower digits = older, rarer, MORE VALUABLE accounts.

STEAM_0:0:12 β†’ 2 digits (created 2003-2004, EXTREMELY RARE)
STEAM_0:1:123456 β†’ 6 digits (created ~2010, still rare)
STEAM_0:0:123456789 β†’ 9 digits (created recently, common)

Even the RAREST accounts get banned - proving Steam doesn't care about account value or age when stealing your property.

πŸ“Š Complete Ban Statistics by Account Digit Count

This table shows 70,928,405 total bans organized by SteamID digit length. Lower digit accounts are older and exponentially rarer.

🎯 What This Proves About Steam's Ban System

1. Even The Rarest Accounts Get Banned

8 accounts with 1-digit IDs have been banned. These are SINGLE-DIGIT accounts - there are less than 10 of these IN THE WORLD. Yet Steam still bans them without hesitation.

2. Oldest Accounts Aren't Protected

229 accounts with 2-digit IDs banned. These accounts were created in 2003-2004 - the FIRST YEAR of Steam. Many children who registered as kids now have their childhood accounts stolen by Valve.

3. Modern Accounts Bear The Brunt

60,350,990 accounts with 9-digit IDs banned - that's 85% of all bans. These are modern accounts created in recent years, many belonging to children and teenagers who had their first gaming property stolen.

πŸ’” THE TRUTH: NO ACCOUNT IS SAFE πŸ’”

Whether you have a legendary 1-digit account worth $50,000+ or a brand new 9-digit account created yesterday - Steam will ban you WITHOUT EXPLANATION and STEAL YOUR PROPERTY if they want to.

70+ MILLION people learned this the hard way.

πŸ’‘ Understanding Account Digits

Every Steam account has a unique SteamID in the format STEAM_0:0:XXXXXXX. The final number determines the "digit count":

LOW DIGITS (1-4)

Created 2003-2005. Extremely rare. Often worth $1,000s-$50,000+ to collectors. Only ~5,463 total banned.

MID DIGITS (5-7)

Created 2006-2012. Moderately rare. Valued at $50-$500 by collectors. ~917,510 banned.

HIGH DIGITS (8-9)

Created 2013-present. Common modern accounts. Majority of Steam's userbase. ~70 million banned.
