9 Years of Service (Giveaways Closed)

Closed
emotionengine

It's my 9th Steam Anniversary today. I can hardly believe it's been nine years already since I first reluctantly signed up for a Steam account. All because I just wanted to play some Counter-Strike, but this Steam thingy was suddenly a non-optional nuisance that had to be dealt with first. Why would I want to keep my games on some kind of server? To... download? What? It didn't make any sense at all. Fast forward nine years and, well, I don't need to tell you...

Anyway, this calls for a celebration. And that means some giveaways are in order, and I think nine giveaways sounds about right.

I'm far too lazy (and stupid) to make some kind of elaborate puzzle or whatever, so what I'll do is (are you ready for this, you might want to take a seat and write this down...) link to the giveaways right here:

  1. Here's number one

  2. Here's number two

  3. Here's number three

  4. Here's number four

  5. Here's number five

  6. EDIT: Here's number six

  7. EDIT: Number seven was hidden in the source for a while. Here it is

  8. EDIT: Number eight is in this thread. Look for it :)

  9. EDIT: Here's number nine)

Yep, nothing too exciting I'm afraid, and these last ones aren't super shiny fancy titles, but they aren't bundle games either, so you might want to come back and check later :p

Also, feel free to share the reason you first made a Steam account. I'd like to hear your stories :)

UPDATE:

Thanks to everyone who replied. I enjoyed reading your comments, even if I didn't reply to each single one. People have asked me why I asked entrants to comment on the giveaways. The answer is simple: I wanted to see if people would read and follow a simple request. You can see for yourself how that went.

ALL WINNERS HAVE BEEN ADDED ON STEAM. GIFTS WILL BE DELIVERED VIA STEAM CHAT/TRADE, SO PLEASE ACCEPT MY FRIEND REQUEST.

Well, of course I made my Steam account to play Half Life 2. It wasn't since years later, when I finally got an ADSL flat-fee connection, that I really started to use it regurarly though. Not that a great story, I know... so, here, have an HADOUKEN!

Congratulations, and thank you for all the giveaways... :)

No interesting story, got a video card with a Half-Life 2 key inside, but the game wasn't finished yet. Think it was good for all the other Valve stuff though, and eventually Half-Life 2 appeared in the account. Yay. :)

Congratulations! I joined Steam when the Orange Box hit $9.99. I knew about the service before, but I was playing most of my games on discs before then.

AMD and Intel at 47% and 53%, respectively, and 31% of screens still running at 1024 x 768. Nice.

congrats! well, when steam appeared i had stopped gaming since some years, i was basically dealing with real life. many years later, when i was checking the scarce gaming possibilities of my macbook pro, i heard some steam thing was being ported and that some portal game was going to be free. in this way it started all (over again)
