TL;DR: i have a steam account with years of history and a significant amount of money spent on games i never used community features never insulted anyone never cheater After years of using the platform steam suddenly locked my account and banned my community access until 2038 support gave a copypaste reply about “sanctioned regions” and closed the ticket permanently, i live in Iran

the full story:

Ive been a loyal steam user for years I built a library over time spending money that mattered to me recently i logged in after a long break and realized my account was partially restricted I couldnt edit my profile access the community market or post anything

here is the twist: i have NEVER posted a single comment created a guide or even used the community forums my account was squeaky clean yet they slapped a Community ban on me until 2038 (which is basically a permanent forever ban in their system)

when I contacted Steam Support, here is the exact reply I got …
