I registered a Steam account because it was now required to play Half-Life/Counter-Strike, turns out my key was already claimed and someone had likely stolen it at a Lan party. I was so pissed off I swore off PC Gaming forever, consoles where it's at! I was probably more obnoxious than the worst console warriors here on GAF today.The first game I activated was a Half-Life key shared among a small group of friends up to that point
Looks like my badge will update alongside Steam itself, not a day later
Thank God there's no digital trail of me saying PC's are only good for piracy and World of Warcraft.
Later in 2010 my mates forced me to make a Steam account because BF: Bad Company 2 was about to release.

No, because Valve can't count to 3. They just announced CS 2 and that's as far as they'll ever go with their games left 4 dead 2, half life 2, team fortress 2 and cs 2 now exist. Bust sadly, that's all it's ever going to be.

I would love to see what Valve can see in terms of account data, last logins, where the logins took place, and all that jazz.
Also looking at all the games I put the most time in. My dad would play MOH Airborne when I was at work. It's #9 in my all time played.
He's not a gamer but I built him a PC so he could play that to his heart's content...and now World of Tanks.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Btw, anyone know how to reset/set your age gate date? It seems to have finally started saving it in the cloud just when I had given up and put a wrong date that one time just to get past the age check and now even deleting all the data/reinstalling Steam won't revert it to default blank date or let me save the actual date (or automatically save the new one I change it to when it reaches such a screen again). Why save it at all if it still lets you change it and still requires you to submit the date even if it's saved one for you already/if there's no age to set in your profile or wherever else.
Also there's no longer a "clear browser cache/data/cookies/whatever" anywhere in settings and my OCD about not keeping useless/temp files on my PC is in overdrive.

New Interface is bad :: Steam Client Beta
This interface sucks, the notification system is so trash. It shows me pending trade offers but when I click it there's nothing. Also with messages too, when I click it there is no new messages but in notification it shows You have new messages and it wont go. The Store page loads so late and...

I would be a member since around September of '03 if I could remember which account I had as it was basically a glorified HL2 launcher.

Bullshit. It was awesome day 1. Not having to fight 404 errors on websites to get a counter strike update was the best. I was one of the few happy about it. I hated trying to download exe files at 4pm from some file site
installed it for half life, absolute trash program at the time, dam already 19 years ago.

They will announce that Steam is 20 years old.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
If you said "Steam Sale", you'd be right!

I can't believe COD Ghosts was one of the top sellers of 2013. I used to buy these games for the campaign so I'm part of the problem. But how? Word of mouth was toxic for 6 months before release and MW3 online was short lived on PC. Looks like the series was indeed a monster on PC despite public perception.
And COD WWII in 2017? WTF?
