  Incentives. If valve did this, the expectation would be for them to cover any and all future breaches. They don’t have the capability of doing so, and this would incentivise a wave of new malicious programs. Because hey, if you get one into the store, you can now steal a million bucks from your own sockpuppet account, and valve will cover it.

    People would do this on purpose to steal their own money and then beg Valve to pay them lol
