Steam is a virtual paradise for any gamer because in its expanses you can find game genres that will suit absolutely every player: RPG, action, MMORPG, shooter, simulation, strategy, casual games, puzzles, and so on. Also, games are divided into two categories according to the principle of passage – for one or more players. In some games, you will find both. However, there are reasons why you want to interrupt, block your existence in Steam or delete your account completely.

What are the conditions for deleting Steam account
If you decide that you will not return to play games on your Steam account and wish to delete your account information, then you should ask Steam support to delete your account. They will first ask you to provide comprehensive proof of ownership before complying with the request. Deleting an account is a one-time affair, and there is no way to get it back. If you liquidate your Steam account, all of your information disappears, from the game license to the community profile, gifts, inventory, etc. Of course, the money in your wallet will also disappear, and it’s impossible to restore all this stuff.
Once again, if you do decide to delete your Steam account, contact their support team. Confirm that you are the owner of the account through proof of ownership. The account will then be restricted from making purchases and using community features for thirty days while it is in the deletion queue. Support will remind you by the end of the 30 days to remove it.
