    The modal dialog that immediately pops up when you navigate to the taxheaven3000.com site usefully tells you that it's not released yet and gives a date: April 4.

    It literally says "Coming next" next to that project on their timeline, with the project before listed as "Latest release". Hold your horses, it is releasing soon.

>UPDATE: STEAM IS DEPLATFORMING TH3K. DIRECT DOWNLOAD VIA TAXHEAVEN3000.COM ON APRIL 4. Maybe TurboTax sent a check, we don’t know. Perhaps because it asked for your social security number. https://imgur.com/a/KmWM6KU https://imgur.com/a/KmWM6KU

  Is that... Illegal? /from someone who never lived in the US

    No. You might be surprised at all the forms that use SSN improperly/lazily as some form of unique identifier though.

      IN the past 2 days I've encountered that both the cable and gas companies used mine to verify. I sure didn't give it to em either, that's the more concerning part.

    its required to fill in your taxes, but also potentially abusive if the developer isn't honest, and probably not something steam wants on their platform.

    it's not illegal, but it sure is shady. handing out your SSN makes it easy for someone to try to open lines of credit, credit cards, loans, etc. in your name. You'd need other data, but that's often trivial. SSN also wasn't designed as a universal ID and has a few weaknesses, on top of being shoehorned into a role it wasn't meant to fill.

      The USA should just bite the bullet and publish everyone's Social Security numbers. That way we can stop pretending they're some kind of secret password and finally force companies who don't want to be defrauded to stop using them. They should not be used for authentication in any way! It's crazy that non-secret information about me, like my SSN, birthday, home address, and mother's maiden name, can be used by anyone to prove that they are me.
