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.

I must have first got it when I went to a massive LAN party. Needed it to play counterstrike I belive. My computer was so crap that it lagged though. Meh

Congratulations!

I'm still on 8 years. I guess I probably [reluctantly] created my account to play HL2. It was a lot later that I actuallynought my first game on Steam. From thereon in, it was a slippery slope...

I signed up to play Lost Planet, and in fact, I didn't even realized I had signed up for Steam. I just wanted to play the game. Fast forward a few years, when I actually tried to sign up for Steam I found out I already had an account.
