Ah man, mine is only 18 years old.
Did you make your account for Half-Life 2? My account is the same age, and that's the game that introduced me to Steam.
I made an account in January 2005, probably for HL2.
I initially resisted making an account and I hated Steam back then.
They've since fixed a lot of things and I now have 250+ games on it.
I have to admit, Valve is one of the few big game companies that haven't gone to absolute shit.
Though I dread the day GabeN steps down or sells out...
Another thing that I didn't agree with back in the day was WoW, paying a subscription to play was a hard no. Still haven't played it, which kinda sucks because I was a big fan of the old Warcraft games and of RPGs in general.
Voting with my wallet certainly didn't change much for them, although it probably was better for me.
WoW is a bit nuts: you pay a subscription fee and buy expansions? What's the damn fee for then?
Servers ain't free. But they could at least roll the expansion cost into the subscription.
That's quite similar to me. I got HL2 Jan. 2005. I played Guild Wars instead of WoW because I didn't want to pay for a sub.
The first Guildwars was great.
The second one was nice too and I played it a bunch, but there's something about the first I can't quite put my finger on, might just be nostalgia.
My GW2 time has been mostly spent helping people with jumping puzzles, which are kinda cut short these days by mesmers making portals for them, which I also do sometimes.
I think so or CS, I'm not sure?
