So, as I was clicking through steam trying to purchase a game, it asked for my age. I clicked “submit” without changing the date of birth which was January 1 2011. Now it’s telling me I can’t view certain games because of my age. I closed Steam and reopened it. It’s still telling me I can’t view certain games.
Am I basically fucked? Will it think for several years that I’m a baby with prodigious computer skills? If I have to change accounts, that’s more than 50 dollars in games I’m losing.
Age is only saved per session, not forever. So simply restart your browser or steam to clear it.
Or hit the back button, delete cookies.
One of the GTA titles on sale today, I take it?
You could open steam, go to the menu and select HELP/STEAM SUPPORT and see if there’s something there to help. It takes you to a web-page wherein it asks a series of questions. I don’t know if it takes you to a live rep or email support eventually. Oddly enough, despite having used Steam since it came out, I’ve never had a problem, so I don’t know much about fixing them.
Here’s something I found in teh googles:
It says to clear your cookies for Steampowered.com, or close Steam, then restart it. I never gave it a thought that Steam might use cookies. Not at all sure it does, but that’s what they say to do in the thread I posted above, FWIW.
