Valve does not check forums - they are user led

Multiple accounts of same email can lead to complications, such as if one account gets VAC banned, then they all will, etc

Yes. But I never cheat anyway. I've already created these multiple accounts on the same e-mail address, I just want to know whether Valve at one point in time can suspend them, for being on the same e-mail address.

Not too sure about that, Valve doesnt suspend IP Addresses for multiple alts so it MIGHT be ok....

If you do something naughty on 1 account then the linked email can have an effect. If you are 100% legit then you have nothing to worry about.

I am 100% legit. I just have a bunch of legally bought Steam keys I need the trading cards from.

I see no point risking this (+3200 games) and other accounts once I link the accounts to my SMA.

I wish Valve would have been more clear about this in their ToS, instead of just allowing us to use the same e-mail address when creating accounts.

You can use the same email address. What's the issue?

If you are not doing anything that would get you a vac ban or account lock then you got nothing to worry about.

Is there any advantage of having them as same email?

E-mail providers usually allow only 1 e-mail address per person. So you end up using 10 different e-mail services, which you all have to remember the address and password for. It's also a tiresome job having to check multiple e-mail addresses.

And so people who fake their sub count for Youtube require making multiple emails...

Does anyone know how many accounts I can add to my mobile authenticator ?

I have 3 accounts on one email. Haven't had an issue in 12 years.

Not sure there is a limit. It is quite handy, all you do is swipe to select the account you are logging in with as the codes will be different for each one even when using the same phone number.
