You don't deal with public/private key authentication much do you?

I don't.

I don't even know what are these codes function.

Basically what you posted is a key to encrypt/decrpyt information. It is one of the most used encryption schemes in the world. Everything from network communications such as HTTPS and SFTP to encyrpting hard drives, emails and confidential files.

I rarely play any of my "Steam" games anymore (liked it much better when they were all separate). So this guy now has my credit card information?

I guess I should call my bank. If something does happen, I could imagine a class action law suit.

Lucky me I didn't buy anything on steam, just entered serial keys from store bought games. And I won't be using it to buy HL2 anymore.
