Cool, but I already bought it like 20 years ago and still have it on steam

Ye gods, 18 years, 4 months for mine. You'd hope that they'd just automatically stop asking if I'm old enough to view store pages, right?

My account is so old I have (or had, before they normalized the format) a four digit steam ID. I "owned" Half Life 2 for like four months before it released thanks to getting a code free in the box with my Radeon 9800 Pro back in the day. For a short and glorious flash of time in the summer of 2004, I was guaranteed a copy of the most hotly anticipated game ever, even though nobody could play it yet, and also owned an example of the fastest video card on the planet. Damned if I didn't mow a fuckton of lawns and reinstall Windows and Outlook an a horde of septuagenarians' computers to afford that card.

And no, they do not stop asking about your age.

My account turned 21 a couple months ago. They really should just go "yeah, it's fine" and don't ask

My steam account just turned 20. Fugggggg

edit: just double checked... 21 years of service.

i'm old

Oh hell, mine too back in August. Guess I'll have to take it out drinking next year.

I remember downloading it bundled with CS 1.6 - with the download being behind a queing system, so the servers weren't overloaded.

was in the queue for a day and the download took over night

Oh wow, I just checked and mine turned 21 today! 🎊

Jesus Christ my steam account is old enough to drink in the US.

we old lol.

I probably have 500+ hours in Counter Strike Source and about the same in Day of Defeat Source, (edit def add cs1.6 and original dod to those numbers) from 2003-2005. All before steam kept track of play time. So many games (including HL2!) show "no recorded activity". It really irks me but it's also kind of funny. Took a near total break from gaming until about 2015. Didn't get a decent PC until 2020. I Was surprised I even remembered my steam login.

Well, they implemented some graphical improvements and options, as well as workshop mod support so now would be a good time for a replay.
