That’s a pretty unfeasible request. Sure, maybe big resalers might keep something like that, but the average consumer? I keep my receipts for maybe a year on big purchases unless there’s something like a warranty I need it for. And I get the feeling that’s already more than most folks would do.
If you are insisting on a first purchase receipt before buying something used, you are essentially saying you’ll almost never buy something used. The odds someone would even still have it, let alone go through the hassle of providing it to you, are extremely low. Why would they do that when they could just sell to a less difficult customer who doesn’t care?
When you purchase something on the steam store you get an email with the recipe. If your email client is somewhat decent you should be able to find it in a couple of seconds.
Never buy anything used without first purchase receipt

A digital receipt is pointless as they can be faked very easily. Each steam deck would need to come with an NFT or something.
