How old is your steam account!

12 years I guess, but I remember using it when it first came out with a Counter-Strike update. I probably switched to a different email when I actually started buying games with it.

Same. It was 2004 I think when... 1.5 or 1.6 came out and the only way to upgrade was steam, and it was broken for about half of the people trying. The clan I was in upgraded the server though so I had to upgrade.

I didn’t even realize it was around before that. I hated it for awhile but didn’t take long to come around.

June 2004, apparently. I remember switching around the time Condition Zero was out.

 

[My Spot]

It says you joined in October 2003. How is that possible when Half Life 2 didn't come out for another year?
Anyhoo...I joined in March 2006.

I lost access to my original account. I'm at 8 years on this one.

[cmw43]

Since 2009 or so. 350+ games and I've probably played less than half of them.

You must be very proud.

Good news for all account holders with clean profiles. Steam is opening up Trust Factor MM used in CSGO for developers use in their multiplayer titles.

However old Half Life 2 is.

 

[Foppa21]

Guess I'm coming up to 13 years since I first signed up on Half Life 2 release day, which was Nov 16th 2004

https://steamtime.info/#!/s/76561197960980391

I gots 12,629 hours of gametime and 508 games. Says it's 14 years old so maybe I signed up earlier than I thought

According to Steam Gauge my top 10 most played are:

Football Manager 2013 - 1162 hours
Football Manager 2016 - 1103 hours
Football Manager 2009 - 766 hours
Football Manager 2012 - 591 hours
Defiance - 540 hours
Football Manager 2015 - 481 hours
Euro Truck Simulator 2 - 413 hours
Mass Effect 2 - 348 hours
Left 4 Dead 2 - 320 hours
Skyrim - 278 hours

That's a lot of FM hours... I stopped in about '05 odd I think. My friends have just convinced me to invest into 2019. "The lost years"

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

WTF? I thought Steam was only 10 years old maximum.

 

[Ice That Jaw]

10 years, 227 games, and I've only actually finished maybe 5.

The timeline makes sense though. I left PC gaming in '96 for the N64 and Dreamcast and got back into it when the 360 and PS3 started to age, which was 2008. PC has been my console ever since.

This is like the total opposite to me. I started on consoles in the 80s with my Atari and NES, left consoles in 1993 for the PC, and gamed on PC exclusively until I got a 360 in 2009. Now I basically game on consoles exclusively as I got a PS3 in 2011 and a PS4 in 2015.

I had actually forgotten that Steam was that old. I got it when I got Half-life 2 on release day in November 2004, and had thought that Steam came out just before Half-life 2 as primarily a distribution platform for that game. It wasn’t till I read your post that I looked it up on Wikipedia to see that it came out in the fall of 2003. I had just started my undergrad at that time and didn’t have time for gaming so I was probably unaware. It wasn’t until the summer of 2004 when I picked up Far Cry and Doom 3 that I got back into gaming.

14 years so older than most sherdogers

Don't get me wrong, I started on the NES too. There was no PC equivalent to Castlevania, Double Dragon, or Megaman, or even the sports games. NES had those genres on lock down.

'85-90 and '96-2001 were the golden ages of consoles imo. So many genre defining games came out of consoles in those time periods.
