I'd really like to see what kind of numbers and graphs EA has that tell them that Origin will make up for what they are losing on Steam.

What is Steam rating?
I think it has to do with feedback others can leave after they have played with you. I dunno...that's the only thing that makes sense and I honestly never noticed it before I posted that picture.

I have an older account from the HL2 days but gave that account to my brother (who then went and made his own account, later)

dude 516 games is that the entire catalog of steam?

Far from it and he may have some F2P games there but who knows >>
Pssh, that ain't shit. A guy in my Steam friends list owns over 1000 games (I won't give away his name, but he's on GAF and his handle is quite apt).

Yeah, some people have some sort of Super Account that gets them the majority of Steam games for free, and they're lists are just ridiculous (of course, some have done it with their own cash, too, I'm sure).
My count went from just over 100 to over 400 thanks to people gifting me developer catalogs from the last year's holiday sale (and I haven't played most of those games). Mainly from my late brother :\
I'm only responsible for a fraction of that stuff and have yet to install/play most of it.

It was 2006, I was 15 and I had no idea he was going to try cheating, especially on my account.

I wish I had that luck of getting entire dev catalogs.
I have a friend who bought Counter Strike at least three times, getting banned for cheating each time, until he finally learned his lesson and bought it again. This was on his own account, so whatever.
That's definitely not it because mine's usually 9 or 10 and I don't play online games.
I'm 90% sure it has to do with how many hours you've put in during the 2 weeks it shows right underneath. I'm assuming it's being compared to everyone else on a 1-10 scale.

No idea what contributes to your rating, I haven't even played a game for about a week and I'm still sitting on 10.

32 hours in 2 weeks = 10

Since my gpu died I've been catching up with older/possible-to-play things on my 7600GS. Not a bad trade-off. I've been crossing a lot of good games that way.
I think I first made the Steam account a bit after HL2 came out.
Going for a conservative 9.6 million if it rolls out at the same time for everyone.

Well that's boring, I hoped they would take all the positive energy I project into account.
If you listen very closely you can already hear Steam servers explode.

I got Half Life 2 and Battlefield Vietnam for Christmas 2004. I remember having activation problems with Half Life 2, was so pissed that's all I wanted to play that morning. Got it sorted out around Noon that day and me and my brother proceeded to embark on one of the most memorable video game experience and story ever made. <3 Valve and Steam so much.

I always assumed that Gabe, being omnipresent, observes each and every one of us and personally rates us based on our worthiness as a Steam user.
He was broke, and wanted to play Counter Strike. I never used my account, at the time.
I had no idea he was going to cheat, let alone on my account.
Definitely learned my lesson, though.

This makes me want to start posting mangled, nonsensical Bible-quotes, like "it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a Riccitello to enter the kingdom of Half-Life".

Eh they'd probs make it some kind of subscription service or charge some made up extra fee. Kinda interested in seeing what Nintendo do with Wii U, so bitter towards them after 2 generations of disappointment in that department.

Unfortunately consoles still need to be sold somewhere, and b&m retailers are terrified of digital distribution making them completely redundant, so they'll wield that power like a stick with which to beat console makers for as long as the can get away with it.
Get on my level.
I started the same day as you and I have more games. Where's my invite, Gaben? WHERE IS MY FUCKING INVITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I have three Steam accounts.
The first account was created back in 2003, when Steam went public with CS 1.6.
The second account was created a year or two later, when said first Steam account was hijacked and subsequently banned for cheating (back then, VAC bans weren't permanent but for a year).
My third and current account was created in February 2006, as I gave my two previous accounts to mates so they could play Counter-Strike.
I can't access the two earlier accounts as both of my mates have lost the log-in information. I do remember the e-mail tied to my first account, however it belongs to my long-former ISP, the username of which is in use by somebody else. Every now and then I try to sign up for a dial-up account with the username for the simple purpose of resetting my Steam password, but alas.
Anywho, current stats:

Gabe looks deep into my soul and assigns a number based on the hours we played.

If I reveal it, may my belly become swollen and my head be plucked of all but three hairs.
Hey, I think you need to take a different oath.
