It also helps that the prior Insurgency game has the most hours on his profile, by far. Gave me a good hint that he should enjoy this one.
Thanks so much!
EDIT: My dad just got back to me, and loves the gift. Apparently that’s where most of his online buddies went and still are. Nailed it!
Pretty sure it’s against the TOS to do that. So if found, the account is simply terminated and it ceases being valuable. That means that even if it’s sold - it’s value isn’t in the games, but your friend network - as a sort of trojan spam/burner account. Which also means that it’s not worth more than a few dollars at MOST unless you’re some big-time twitch streamer with a vast network of steam friends.
So yeah, just be aware of what you’re getting into. It’s not likely some guy who wants an instant steam library - it’s someone who wants to exploit your friends, family, and acquaintances for money via scams. Don’t be that guy.
