Require an account three months old, at least one verified purchase in the past year, ten hours played across any title(s).

Most of this was already implemented. Valve required accounts to be at least 1 year old with at least one purchase. They did the same for the Steam Deck

Honestly I feel like it's too little. At the very least the first wave of Hardware should be something crazy like the account has to be at least 10 years old have at least 30 purchases total and have an average of 8 hours a week play time.

Sure there will be some legitimate people that get filtered by that but it will pretty much guarantee scalpers can't get anything in any serious volume
