Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
This is great. I don't really care about people who can't even afford $5 on Steam since this is pretty beneficial to me. Damn spambots are annoying.
Ah, "fuck you I've got mine"

I really do appreciate the offer, but as I said I don't want to be taking money from others just to talk to my friends. I'm tired of feeling like I have little control over my life and I hate having to resort to asking others for help.
Fortunately, I know one friend that has my cell number so they can probably give to the other people in our group.

Legitimately not sure. I don't really care that much for AAA games so it has never mattered how cheap they get. I've browsed through the steam sales but not sure if I ever bought anything. It is possible I have.All of the people that are saying they don't know if they qualify for it because of third party keys, I have to ask, you all have never bought a single game on steam during one of the big holiday and seasonal sales?
When even AAA games can be 75%+ off?
Not my case, but I wonder if Steam Wallet money counts. If you sell cards, you can get to US$ 5 and buy something. You never actually spend real money from your income.

Dude, you can still chat with your friends using the Steam client.
It counts if you use steam cards to put in cash to your wallet, it's right in the OP.
You can't sell things on the marketplace if you haven't bought anything though.
But you can't chat with them on mobile is the thing. That's a whole different thing though where if you're paying for a data plan to use online so you can chat using the steam client...well, you obviously have some disposable income somewhere.
People who outraged by this must've never received 5 invites from [Unassigned]
This is shitty as fuck.
How is this negatively affecting you personally?
This is shitty as fuck.
Ah, "fuck you I've got mine"
We're talking about an online video games store. Of course it will cater to the users who are paying, what else would you expect? To Valve, non-paying customers are worthless, especially if they already decided they aren't going to buy games on Steam, no matter what. Also, you're forgetting that this is not a for-profit measure, but a much needed one to combat the ever increasing scam and phishing attempts.Ah, "fuck you I've got mine"
Besides, if you're on a phone you have other means of communication, such as WhatsApp, Facebook, text messages or even phone calls. If you have access to the Steam app, you also have access to the first two.But you can't chat with them on mobile is the thing.

Javadots about to be removed from everyone's friend list.
A business has to prove to the consumer that they deserve it. I have no use for Steam other than playing tf2.
As a person who kept getting random friend requests by private profiles or spambots every few days I am glad to finally see this happening.
I'd pay $5 to deal with spam so
Out of interest, This is just a trading/inventory thing right?
I have never had a spam friend request in like 10 years.
Yeah, if you have nothing of note in your inventory nobody will bother you.
Why are people upset? Steam is a STOREFRONT. You go to stores to BUY STUFF
This seems to be an extremely remote edge case: no games bought through the Steam store (or the price of all of them combined amounts to less than $5), no spare money to reach $5 total spent on Steam, no means of communication with friends other than Steam chat, and the need to talk to them via cell phone or web browser (the web chat will also require a full access account) instead of through the desktop Steam client. I'm pulling numbers out of my ass here, but I'd bet those who meet all 4 conditions are less than 0.1% of all Steam users.
Maybe if it's at a bookstore where you're not allowed to take books out of the building, even if you've purchased them.I picture these people complaining about the five bucks as the guys that sit on the floor in bookstores reading manga.

The complaints are the people at the bookstore who sit in the cafe and use free wi-fi but have never spent a dime on books or coffee.

What's a good game for me to buy on Steam for $5+ that can run smooth to flawlessly on a retina macbook pro 13 (2014) with integrated graphics?
I have a steam account but barely use it. My computer is not up to par by PC gaming standards.
My account was dropped to limited access because I haven't bought anything off the store in a year. Kind of a bullshit move, forcing you to buy something to be able to do basic things even when you've been a member for years.

It's other, separate limitation, AFAIK. Just requires you to have at least one purchase on Steam (no matter the value) in one year. And it only affects Steam market functionality.Yeah, that's not too cool if it times out on you.
