    Since when do you have to link your phone number to your Steam account? I’ve had an account for as long as Steam has existed, and I’ve never been asked to provide my phone number.

      It’s to help reduce smurfing in f2p games like the ones mentioned below. (Dota and cs)

      Dota 2, csgo ranked both require a phone number linked to the account and since it’s a valve game it’s linked to the steam acct.

      I needed to do it to enable 2FA through the Steam app. Kinda wish I didn’t have to, since I know how unsafe SMS is.
