If it is integral to their systems, it's a piss poor database design. You *never* use something like name/address/email as a primary key in a table. Maybe i can get a job with Valve as a dba? :)
I second the request. My primary steam account user name is an email address I abandoned a long time ago, and I too wish I could change it.
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Depending the implementation of their systems, this may be technically difficult for Valve to implement - your username may or may not be something integral to their database system or its clients, thus cannot be changed without causing problems. The best way to find this out is to wait from someone from Valve to reply, or you can email someone at Valve directly - there is a number of email links on Valve's People<http://www.valvesoftware.com/people.html>pages. Perhaps even though a user cannot change their username themselves, perhaps someone in Valve can do it for you. You could also try Steam Support<http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php?p_sid=HoJaWRRh> .
