I also did not get an email, but thats probably because I only use paypal.

Not sure where you are getting that from.  The article quoted says the steam forums were hacked:
“We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked”

Do you have another link stating they actually compromised CC and/or personal info?

"This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information."

"We don't have evidence of credit card misuse at this time. Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely."

Sorry, guess I should've referenced the article I read, and it looks like Atom found the same article.
