yeah like parents really know what is steam and how big it is when i told my mom i want to create a steam account and buy games from there she genuinely feared it might be a scam most parents dont know about steam at all the only thing they know are the big 3 Xbox PlayStation and Nintendo

Haha likely true. Still, some folks see it as useless if you can’t play the most popular games on it that all your friends play

I think that risk is still reduced because the parent wouldn’t have their own Steam account to reserve one. For at least months, anyone buying one of these is probably going to be someone very intentionally doing so.
