This change wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for 4 things: 1. Steam is garbage and from time to time has been known to reject perfectly valid login tokens 2. Drop the requirement of a linked phone number; buying the game should be enough of a requirement 3. Increase the limit from 50 servers to something more reasonable like 100 or 200 4. Allow anonymous logins, just don't list anonymous servers in the server browser or Community Quickplay
This would allow LANs, tournaments, and third-party matchmaking sites to run servers without any issues, and would enforce the requirements which I can only assume are aimed at dealing with problematic and abusive servers. Finally, can I get my old accounts back? They appear to be logging in as expected, but they don't appear either on the page or on the WebAPI. Attempting to reset a login token for an old server account via the WebAPI deactivates the account entirely and creates a new one (with a new SteamID) in its place.
