Steam Linking & Requirements

What are the requirements for my linked Steam account?

To purchase Game collections or take part in Free Giveaways from Digiphile, your Steam account must meet all of the following criteria:

• The link Steam account must be Verified/Full status and not Limited account status. 

  • More information on how to become verified here.

• Your Steam account must be Level 1 or higher. 

  • Information to increase your level here.

• Your Steam account must be set to Public for a one-time verification (or when syncing your account). 

  • More information on how to change your profile to public can be found here.

Why do I need to link my Steam account?

Linking your Steam account is required to purchase Game Collections and take part in Free Game promotions.

We require a linked Steam account:

• To prevent abuse and duplicate, fraudulent, accounts.

• To unlock certain unique features, like the Exchange, which is based on Owned game status

Linked Steam accounts help us increase security, ensuring as many keys as possible make it into the hands of people who want to play them. We also want to make sure keys stay out of the hands of resellers, as a commitment to our partners who trust us with their keys, which allows us to get the best games and deals possible!

What information do you gather from my linked Steam account?

We only obtain Public information:

• Profile name & SteamID

• Owned games (including associated playtime and achievements)

• Wishlist information

How do I set my Steam account to Public?

1. Open Steam on your computer.

2. Navigate to your Profile: Select your username dropdown menu in the top right and select View My Profile.

3. Edit Profile: On your profile screen, click the Edit Profile link on the right side.

4. Go to Privacy Settings: In the left-hand menu, click on My Privacy Settings.

5. Set Profile to Public: Find the "My Profile" option and select Public from the drop-down menu.

6. Set Game Details to Public: Ensure your "Game details" are also set to Public.

7. Uncheck Private Playtime (Optional): If you want your total playtime to be visible, uncheck the "Always keep my total playtime private" option. 

   • Friends List and Inventory can remain Friends Only or Private if you prefer.

Below is an example of what public settings are necessary:

My Steam account is limited. How do I make it a full/verified account?

Spend $5 (or regional equivalent) on the Steam Store (under the same account) or purchase $5 of Wallet credit for future use. More info here.

Information on adding funds to your Steam Wallet can be found here: https://store.steampowered.com/steamaccount/addfunds/

I’m okay sharing my play data with you, but I don’t want to share it with other users

Once our community features are implemented, you will be invited to opt-in to share games owned, played, achievements earned, and playtime. However, the default setting will be opt-out until you decide otherwise.

I don’t want Digiphile to know which games I own and play

You can mark individual titles as private within your Steam library. Information for these games will not be transmitted - they will simply register as unowned.

How do I unlink my Steam account?

You can unlink your Steam account on your Settings page.
