17 Jan, 2005 Half-Life 2 Retail Standard Complimentary

These 3 for first retail, free and bought.

 

[Stop It]

Oldest bought.

Er. In that case redeeming the Half Life: Generations key on the day Steam was released in 2003. If that doesn't count I pre ordered Half Life 2 on steam.

 

[Saganator]

December 7th, 2003 - Half Life Platinum Pack. Swore I got my steam account day one, I remember having Steam beta. It's come a long way, I didn't really start buying games on Steam until about '09.

 

[The Argus]

Launch day Half Life 2. Setup my account and installed via disks. I remember the patch taking forever to install over my 56k.

 

[Dennis]

Half-Life 2

Surely the only one.

 

[Apt101]

Remember when it actually cost money?

 

[balohna]

I used to literally have Steam installed because I bought Half-Life 2. I bought it in 2006, GOTY edition. My next Steam games were the ones in The Orange Box.

I didn't buy any actual Steam games from the Steam store until 2008.

 

[DeadlyParasite]

First activation was:

21 Feb, 2009 Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II Retail

My First actual purchase on the service was 2011 for an add-on to Napoleon: Total War.

Lol.

 

[ShowDog]

9/30/04 Half-Life. Most likely I redeemed the key at that time because I already owned the game. I think someone had stolen my key by the time I redeemed, which I remember being a mild pain in the ass.

 

[Daingurse]

Half-Life Platinum Pack activated May 15th, 2004.

First actual purchase was Team Fortress 2 September 27, 2008.

 

[Chessr]

It must be Half-Life and Counter Strike.
I remember i downloaded steam in its beta phase.
All my friends hated the client back then. If i recall CS 1.6 launched around the same time. I was hyped because of the new weapons
I guess you can say i have an eye for what is becoming great

 

[-MD-]

CSS I think.

 

[mxgt]

Half Life 2 on December 28 2004.

Ah how bad Steam was back then.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Portal 2 2011

 

[dave is ok]

The Steam account I got since it launched - just wanted to play counter strike.

Same day and everything

 

[MrCunningham]

Half-Life 1. I registered my Half-Life 1 CD on my steam account long before I ever owned Counter Strike or Half-Life 2.

"25 Apr, 2006 Half-Life Platinum Pack"

Yeah, I was a little late to Steam. I hated it when it was first introduced and to be honest, I didn't buy HL2 until Episode 1 was released. I was going through some weird "Fuck Steam and fuck Valve" protest when HL2 was released.

Half-Life 2, 10/21/2005

4 Jul, 2004 Half-Life Platinum Pack

And that's only when I've added it on steam since i had it earlier.

 

[BigTnaples]

Half-Life 2 is the only correct answer.

 

[Sinfamy]

That account is VAC banned though.

 

[JMY86]

Half-Life 2. The only reason why I downloaded this software called Steam. Amazing how Valve has turned the tide of PC gaming...

 

[NBtoaster]

Half Life 1 Anthology, 1st May 2010.

It's actually more expensive for me now at full price than it was then (was $15 US, it's now $30 NZ)

 

[Pewpewlazors99]

Oldest game by far. My play time is actually higher but I think I was playing mostly at lan centers.

 

[dozy]

Counter-Strike - 25th August 2004
with Condition Zero.

 

[Krejlooc]

I bought Half Life 2 at Walmart the day it came out.

 

[Bluth54]

Half Life 2 - 11/17/2004

I had dial up back then so I really hated Steam since it took longer to unlock the game then to install it.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

August 16th, 2004, Counterstrike

 

[dlauv]

Aliens vs. Predator 2010 for 5 bucks, lol.

 

[Erasus]

17 Jun, 2005 Half-Life 2 Retail Standard

I still had dial up then so updating steam sucked

Got broadband in Dec 2005

2009 I started buying steam games from the store...
I have 400+ games now, but 50% of those are humble bundles I bet

I remember that I actively hated Steam back then and didn't want to register HL1

[zon]

Spent over 10k hours playing this when I was younger...

 

[deadeyekiwi]

I can't check when because at work but I know the first game I purchased on my steam was morrowind, it was also the first game in my backlog of unplayed steam games.

12 Sep, 2003 Half-Life Platinum Pack

(Day 1. My Steam ID is under 6500.)

 

[Fitts]

Day of Defeat Source on December 13, 2006.

 

[Beautiful Ninja]

September 28 2003, Counter-Strike and Half-Life. Jumped into Steam pretty early, even though it was a miserable pile of shit at the time.

 

[Trail Guide]

The first game I bought on Steam was Rag Doll Kung Fu in October 2005. Don't think I've played it since then too.

 

[Zafir]

Half-Life 2 in 2005.

 

[jediyoshi]

If there was an age restriction on making a Steam account, I'm pretty sure I lied

 

[Shorty11857]

27 Sep, 2010 Civ V D1 UK Retai

Nearly 6 years apparently feels like longer

 

[Shmuppers]

I dunno how to get those timestamps but it was probably Dark Souls.

 

[thenewjeva]

Half Life 2, which I got on my birthday over 9 years ago.
