something didn't sit well with me when he wouldn't email me

Considering that they wanted you to log out of your account. I think it'd behoove you to ensure that your account is secure. Set up two factor authentication on your account, make it a point to change your passwords. Both on your steam account, and on your associated email. Doing that periodically is just good security practice, and run a search for malware on your system.

Manipulating you into logging out of your account. Doesn't get them anywhere unless they can log on. Don't just assume that you caught it early. Assume that you're catching onto them late. If there is even the slightest possibility. That there has been a lapse in security. Be it yours or some company you've done business with. You should treat it like a home invasion.

Why?

Especially with 2FA in place, if someone guesses the password, you'd know it. if they haven't guessed it, then there's no need to change it.

Because scammers are good about using data points. To convince people to give them secure information. Any piece of data a scammer has is one piece too many, and because they cannot use it in one place. Does not mean they can't use it somewhere else. One reused password one sloppy merchant is all it takes.

One thread to pull is reason enough for them to persist, and as the saying goes persistence pays off. Scammers don't want to go back to square one, and they definitely don't want to see victims. Changing out all of their important passwords. The person changing all of their passwords. May be paranoid enough to freeze their own accounts.

Criminals are opportunists, and they prefer easy prey. Don't play the part for them. Any time you think your security may have been compromised. You should immediately change out passwords. Run security checks on your system, and set up authentication if you haven't already. There is no good reason to not do every single step. Authentication isn't an excuse to grow complacent.
