According to Valve, limited user accounts will be unable to access the following features (via Steam support):
- Sending friend invites
- Opening group chat
- Voting on Greenlight, Steam Reviews and Workshop items
- Participating in the Steam Market
- Posting frequently in the Steam Discussions
- Gaining Steam Profile Levels (Locked to level 0) and Trading Cards
- Submitting content on the Steam Workshop
- Posting in an item’s Steam Workshop Discussions
- Accessing the Steam Web API
- Using browser and mobile chat
In order to remove the limitations, users are required to spend the equivalent of $5 either by adding funds to their Steam Wallet, registering a Steam Wallet gift card, making a purchase on the Steam store, or buying a Steam gift. The gateway value is based on USD regardless of the user’s local currency, so the amount required may be higher or lower depending on conversion rates.
