I have the 21 years of service badge on my account, those cunts tried to get me to age verify to view a store page recently!

Hot take. It shouldn't matter if your account is old, and it's a good thing that people get frustrated by it, because it shouldn't be a thing and public unpopularity is the only way to make it not a thing. Don't be content with a bad thing just because you're exempt.
Yet again, Australia is the testing ground for anti-privacy authoritarian legislation.
Why do ppl still simp for steam and valve so much? They bend the knee to oppressive internet just like everyone else.
It was the deal breaker for me. The end of my 21 year relationship with steam. I don't give a shit that they've let me through because of the account age, the fact that they locked it down briefly and may do so again in the future means they can fuck right off
I think I may have been cleared because I sent them the precursor to a consumer protections complaint because they wouldn't refund a glitchy game. The account is not that old.
Nice! I can confirm that my account has been verified automatically and I'm able to just navigate straight to the store pages for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. Am I remembering correctly that we used to get a dropdown age gate on those pages? If so, things are now smoother than they used to be. Still, they could have implemented this method to begin with.
