Thanks again to the generous, sneaky Chronie who gifted me with Sekiro. Will quote name only with permission.
Is a happy squirrel but still in shock. O_o

Nice! I want to try Sekiro at some point, but it needs to be cheap enough that i will be fine with putting it down after 5-6 hours if it proves to tedious/hard.

I heard they updated it or something to make it easier. Not certain.

Despite buying quite a few games myself during the sale, I was also gifted Sekiro, seems like there was just a lot of generosity going around.

I too received a number of games from several generous individuals, I always worry that my gratitude is understated but I hope they know I appreciate them greatly.
Towards the very end of the sale I decided to actually buy something myself only to find that steam now requires additional ID verification that I am unable to provide, so now I can’t buy games anymore.

Ugh, really ? What’s Steam up to now ? Do they require your personal documents now like a frigging online bank ?
Because in my case they still only ask for the Steam Guard code.

I believe it’s a Swedish thing, we’ve apparently decided to make online trade a bother and impossible to do without enforced patronage of google or Apple. By creating an eID system that only works on android and apple phones and demanding that any online platform that does business in Sweden requires the use of this system to verify the purchaser’s identity.
We had several ways to already do that safely and vendor agnostically before, but it’s so much easier to just write a law that demands ONE single system. That way if someone want’s to attack it they only have to breach this one particular provider either to simply take their servers out with ransomware or any other means of malicious access.
It’s not like CC fraud was even that much of a problem here, I’ve never heard of it occurring on any sort of scale. But now I can’t use my card online unless I buy a fucking android phone and load it up with all my personal data and hand it over to google.

Oh, I see so this is not Steam’s fault.
Sorry to hear about it, and this creates more hurdles instead of being convenient. So in additional of your login and Steam Guard you’ll also have to use a system to confirm it’s you who’s buying your own stuff instead of someone else impersonating you.
That’s a lot of work just to buy games IMO.

Worst part of it that it really doesn’t protect anyone. I can go to amazon.de and buy stuff if I want and because amazon doesn’t technically operate in Sweden our laws don’t matter. Even then that’s not how creditcard fraud even works, you get your card stolen it’ll be sold in a huge list of cards to people all over the world who will use them there, not in Sweden.
There isn’t and never was anyone stealing creditcards in Sweden then going home and ordering shit from inet.se to turn around and sell on blocket.se. That would have been caught and stopped damn near immediately.

Yeah, this is security for security’s sake, just so they can pat themselves on the back at the end of the day and call it a good job. This is not how it works, of course. 
If you really wanna secure your users there’s always more convenient and easy ways to do so instead of forcing people to do something they don’t want.
