The highest "Years of Service" badge on steam and why you created a steam account.

I'm probably relatively new compared to many -- I've only been on Steam for 3 years. I signed up because I saw an offer to get Portal for free, but it required Steam, so I signed up.

stearted steam in 05 but played cs since 99

one of my friend is member since 17 April, 2004. thing is he never tell me his age

May 15 2004.

I had a cd copy of Half-Life 1, and I heard that if you connected a steam account to it you got all the other games (like Counter Strike and opposing force) for free. It took 3 days on a dial up modem to do it.

10 years, for some reason I decided no to activate it until 7th of February 2014, while I remember already in September knew about Steam.

PS: Although there were no point in activation, as the only game was Counter-Strike (and Half-Life as part of it) and best CS servers were non-steam (also illegal with different CS version).

1 year. I came to use the Enclave key someone gave me :3

1 year, I never wanted to have steam account, but I accidentaly bought german Fallout New Vegas for steam and things have been getting worse ever since.

11 years. 16/09/2003 - I missed out on 4 days of Steam! (although most people hated it back then :D)

9 years soon

edit: Btw, i wish Volvo made something unique for 10 years old user :s

Only 1 year, and I already have 670 games. It's a bit scary... I joined Steam in order to activate my first physical copy of Skyrim Legendary Edition (a game I liked modding/playing so much that I decided to shell out the full price for it), and ultimately giving up pirating forever.

23rd december 2009 here, started the 5th year.

bought Tf2 and L4D2 to play with friends... :)

Me 10 years and soon 11 xd (19/07/2004). Half life my first steam game :)

Because of Halflife 2

I got into steam late because I used to play mostly non-steam games when I was younger and the steam games that i did play i used to play a local lan cafe that had their own cafe steam accounts... i remember wanting cs so bad for ages but could never afford it.. haha only having enough money each day for a porkroll or two if i was lucky that week or month... but then i think i saw one day they were giving portal out for free and i was like woah this cannot be true a free game who would ever do that... and what was this steam i was young and probably still in my teens highschool.. so i joined steam.. the rest is history... skip forward now a couple of years later and we get so many free games nowadays and most of them are ones that we do not even want haha
