Gawd, I had a dream that looked like that!D=

Oh god, my Steam account is disabled. Hopefully it's only temporary and/or a mistake.

I wonder if it is still coming out, I haven't heard anything about it in months.

I've heard its not very good... and takes less than an hour to beat.

Dino D-Day on the other hand looks awesome!

I did ask a question on their support section of the store. I haven't gotten a reply though. I understand Valve has around 200-300 employees and 30 million people are using Steam, but this long of a wait is absolutely killing me! I just hope someone didn't hack into my account.

If someone did, your account was disabled because they caught it. So if that is the case, be glad lol
And Steam support is notorious for being slow

Wow. Dino D-Day looks like a fantastic idea for a game.

It's been 24+ hours and there still is no response to my question about why my account is disabled. This is killing me. D=

On the bright side, I'm being far more productive than I used to be.

Do you know if the disable is permanent? Maybe its only for a week or so, and you can just wait a little bit and get it back.

@Ravage: That's hilarious

To be honest, I have no idea if it's permanent or temporary. Is there a way to check?

Here is something interesting that I found on the Steam support website:

So far, I haven't gotten an email explaining why my Steam account was disabled. And it's almost been 48 hours. Do you guys think I should send in a ticket for a hijacked account?

Nice one dood.

Any one ever used SteamCalculator before? Mine's worth over $180! I doubt I've actually wasted that much money on PC games though.

@Odnetnin Holy crap! According to that Steam calculator, mine is worth over $1,000! Of course, I know I haven't wasted that amount of money on PC gaming, but that's still pretty impressive! Too bad I can't access any of that $1,000 right now.

@V8 Ninja

Why don't you run the games outside of steam? You can access them at C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommon. Some game are steam independant once they are installed.

I've heard about that, but I'm not sure if it's possible. I tried running some of the games through the program EXEs, but they said that Steam was required to be on before they would start running. I might experiment with them some more. And besides, some games I haven't even downloaded yet, which means that I don't have access to 10% of the games I actually bought.

Super Meat Boy and Star Trek Online work for me outside of steam.

I can't remember how long a response should take. If you don't get anything after 48 hours try hijacked ticket? Not familiar with it myself.

@Rob_mc_1 Guess what? Some of the games actually do work independent of Steam! Well, at least my copy of Borderlands does. I'm gonna check the internet for a list of Steam games that doesn't require Steam later.

@Ravage Yeah, I'm not familiar with the support section of Steam either. However, after some research it appears that most replies will come in 4-6 days after the question has been posted. I'm gonna wait for at least the 96-hour mark before I try to insert a hijacked account complaint.
