I just purchased my OLED with my account from 2012… I knew I had one way before that, and I used it up until 2009 or so.
Found it, November 21, 2005.
Yes I played Valve games before steam.
Who’s got me beat!?
Well there’s a hard cutoff around 2003 so we’ll probably be comparing individual days here. I guess I switched accounts at some point as my first purchases are from 2009 but I definitely played Half-Life 2 before that.
Got my 20 year badge in October.
2008 on my current account but I know I had one before that, probably registered the year it was possible to. I played a lot of CS and other half life mods online in the early 2000’s
Gotta love how irrelevant this is.

Sept12th2003 - back then having a low numbered steamid or steamid with cool string of numbers (1234 etc.) Was all the rage and those accounts fetched a pretty penny. People do not seem to care about those things now though :) my steamid is 0:0:44000 which i believe makes me the 44,000th person to register (do not quote me on that though)
