No we shouldn’t, as Stone Cold Steve Austin once said, DTA, Don’t Trust Anybody! Now give me a hell yeah!

Not the slightest idea who the fuck the Stone Cold Steve Austin is.
Ditto but I’m going to guess a WWE wrestler by the stupid name

Oh hey lembot, I see you’re still on iteration 4. When’s 5 releasing?
Anyway, Valve has no interest in the personal data of their users - their ideology has been on providing excellent, transparent service through their store platform, not aggregating and selling user data to the highest bidder.
This change was likely implemented as a compromise with payment processors - the fact that the verification is through a credit card transaction is quite telling.

Have you read their transparent EULA where it states you purchase a license to the game and don’t actually own it?
