Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why Do I Have to Spend $5 on Steam to Add Friends?
Malicious users often operate using dummy accounts that have not purchased any games, items, or wallet credit. In order to make it more difficult for these malicious users to spam, scam, and phish other users, Steam restricts access to certain community features until an account has spent at least $5.00 USD in Steam.
