Calm down. The unique part of the id (the auth server and the player id) will allways stay the same. Just the first part (STEAM_X) may change depending on what valve uses it for. Atm it is guessed at that STEAM_0 is non cloud (noramal) and STEAM_1 is cloud. Just all the stats and plugins used the whole thing as a unique id which it is not any more.
