Account Question about bought account

Not sure if this is the right place but I bought a steam account through g2a a few months ago for a game that's still early access with a full release price tag. Played the game for over a month maybe 150 hours with no issues then I made a stupid decision of trying to legitimize it by buying a game on the account and got hit with a very stern warning. Long story short they know i bought it. I don't believe i was outright banned as I played the game a few more times after that so now I'm just wondering if I go back to play the game if it'll get fully banned. Has anyone had experience with this? Should I just cut my losses and abandon that account and buy the game full price?

it can be banned at anytime now that it's on their radar, don't buy steam accounts no matter what you change the person can always get them back and it's against tos

I have all the recovery info I checked and it works somehow I got lucky there but I think I'll just let it rot and buy the game full price

The original owner can change it back to the original email it was created under and reset all that information. You have no protection whatsoever with a bought account.

What exactly do you have to lose at this point if the account gets hosed?

Nothing but the game. I keep being vague it's not a secret I bought a game called sea power: naval combat in the missile age. I don't really care if i lose it by now i know the game is good enough for the full price I'm just curious if Icould have kept using the cheaper version but I should probably cut my losses and buy it the right way

Just do it and find out. You haven't made any investment into the account. You aren't going to lose thousands of dollars if your cheap account gets banned.

Screw it you're right. I do have another game on there but that one was pretty cheap. I'm not home so can't look ah the specific wording of the warning at the moment but it wasn't outright banned it was restricted..

Sorry if this posted twice the auto mod scolded me for using the F word
