i tried to fight the tide as i hated the principle of being forced to install bloatware to play (at the time) retail games and as such i am a relative noob!

its funny how people defend steam and lambast other companies who choose NOT to be on steam or who dare to rival it and yet it was valve who started it. but i digress (an old wound and am not bitter at all :D )

Oh yeah there was a big fuss when it first came out since it was required if you wanted to play Half Life 2 and not everyone had a decent internet connection.
 
It has 13th March 2007 as my steam start date. I'm sure I had Half Life 2 on release which needed a steam account. I wonder if I used another email address...

I had an OG steam account but when I got the orange box I created a new one because I couldn't be bothered resetting my password. Sitting just under 16 years now but the 20 year badge kinda makes me wish I'd kept that original account.
 
18 years for me but I'm sure I got an account when it first came out but then couldn't remember the password so had to set up a new one.

Remember the gun metal green and grey designs
 
Im only at 15 and a half years, and until the past half year the only games in my steam library were FM and Civ VI, now with my games and my mates shared library I'm at 143!
 
Do kind of feel they should be giving away more than the badge tbh should be something at least marketable to those that hit the 20 years
