Yeah, they collect certain data to see how you’re using Steam to ensure you’re not using any sort of malicious means. They would most likely scan what OS you’re using to access Steam. If the heavy rumor turns out to be true.

Valve would certainly not do it out of the goodness of their heart lol. They’ve adjusted things based off country’s blocking loot boxes or when Sony enforced PSN requirements in games where Steam operates but PlayStation does not.

Blocking games from specific devices would be a first though lol 

I'm sorry, like I said I'm ignorant of these things.

So if you have 10 different devices all running windows OS, it knows what all 10 of those different devices are?

Yes, based on differing Windows keys or MAC addresses. All technological devices have a physical number that’s unique to that device. No 2 MAC addresses are the same. That kind of information is picked up when you’re entering another domain, such as Valve’s.

I’m a network engineer, so this kind of stuff I see everyday lol
