Question Steam turns 20 - What was your first Steam game?

Longshot: Day of Infamy

I'll be giving this a blast shortly then.

Day of Infamy during its peak playerbase days in 2017-2018 was AMAZING. I had played and loved Day of Defeat Source earlier before that, so when Infamy came out it was a dream come true. It managed to capture that feeling but better and more realistic. It’s like when you have really great memories of an old game but you play it today and it’s nothing like what your memory felt like, but opposite. It was like the Day of Defeat of my dreams. Too bad barely anyone plays anymore… they should make it free.

Still worth getting into today?

Been a member since November 27 2004, i don't actually remember what game it was that made me install steam but i remember being realy anti Steam at the time, It is likley it was because of Halflife2 though since i stopped playing CS somewhere around version 1.0.

I don't buy that many games on steam these days, firstly i prefer physical games so for many years i hardly bought digital atall, and these days i allways go GoG first where possible,

Probably around 2008-2009 when I got the Orange Box. I don't have access to my first account, unfortunately, but I played a lot of Half-Life on it and a shitton of Team Fortress 2. Used to trade reclaimed metal for keys, something I don't think you can do anymore these days. Was a nice way to get new items and I probably have a couple of valuable ones on that account. I'll never know for sure...

SteamCharts says Day of Infamy’s 30 day average is 30 players, so unfortunately no I wouldn’t get it unless you have a large groups of friends to play on a private server with.

2962 games? I think its time for Brian to retire so he can start working on playing those games.

It still wouldn't be enough. He needs to hire a team of players to help him through. (Hopefully he can find at least one person that can get through Metal Gear Solid 5's opening.)

I think it was the orange box and then l4d my second online experience and that scratched my pve itch nicely.

Day of Infamy … I wouldn’t get it

Fussy!

@Konquerah Ok, couple of other longshots:

Post Scriptum

I've taken the Hell Let Loose plunge now, that is something else!

It was ZUP, an ordinary simple puzzle toy, and then CS:GO, then I tasted all the sweetness of shooters and found my community.
