If you have had the ID a while and play a mod like Fortress Forever and your steam id is STEAM_0:1:12345 it will show up as that in a Fortress Forever server. However, if that account also owns TF2 and you go play TF2 your steam id will appear as STEAM_1:1:12345. Steam Friends accounts don't change, as they only use the "1:12345" part of your steam id for that type of translation. There's talk in the donation section of SourceMod of changing the way they report steams ids to just be the "1:12345" piece so that everyone is unique again... something which I would support after last night.
