Some of Steam’s oldest user accounts are turning 20-years old this week, and Valve is celebrating the anniversary by handing out special digital badges featuring the original Steam colour scheme to the gaming veterans.
Steam first opened its figurative doors all the way back in September 2003, and has since grown into the largest digital PC gaming storefront in the world, which is actively used by tens of millions of players each day.
“In case anyone’s curious about the odd colours, that’s the colour scheme for the original Steam UI when it first launched,” commented Redditor Penndrachen, referring to the badge’s army green colour scheme, which prompted a mixed reaction from players who remembered the platform’s earliest days. “I joined in the first six months,” lamented Affectionate-Memory4. “I feel ancient rn.”
Wow! Mine turns 20 years old on the 21st of December. I didn’t realize I was that close to having the oldest account around.
Holy crap, mine will turn 20 soon too. 🤯 That’s wild.
Where can one see the date the account has been created?
Looked in the steam phone app, can’t find such details…
Just curious, I must be close to 20 lol!Go to your profile on the website. Will say right on the top right hand side where it shows your level.
I’ll try tonight once back home, thanks!
Damn I really did not want to remember that my Steam account is 20yrs now… (9/11@10:21pm)
18 here, wow Half Life 3 is never coming, is it
Today mine will be 20 years old! Who would have thought how that stupid launcher would have turned out as what it is now!
I only decided to join Steam when they announced their Linux-friendly intentions, so there’s still a few years left for me to reach the 20 years milestone.
