Just found out why.
They are also required to collect taxes on purchases and send them to the correct state. They have to show that they are doing so and that it is going to the correct places as well. They can't do that if there is no address associated with an account.

It's not like you have ever had to put in real information there. Only thing they care about is country and I guess US states with different tax laws and %s. They have asked for this info for ages if you ever use the market and people have used all kinds of made up addresses etc in their own country without anything happening.

Just wanted to buy something from the Steam store and in the tab, in which they ask which payment you want to use, I had to put my full name + my address and my telephone number in.
Never had this before. Did anyone else had to do this?
