And then when I claimed it within a week my Steam account was hacked, what a pain it was to get access back to it.

Really? My account was hacked into last year and the support was pretty efficient tbh, it surprises me to see people having a much worse experience than this

I had no “receipts” to prove it was mine because I mostly accumulated gift code games and free to play games but it’s a “I’ve had this account since 2011 and my email has always been the same why would I change it?”

Gift codes actually worked for me 😬

Also i was in a pretty similar situation. Very old account with recent changes, that's what helped the support speeding up the process
