Nice to see a lot of different answers when it comes to registering steam.

Another question, what was your first purchase on steam? I remember when Steam was becoming a thing in 2009 and I pre-purchased FEAR 2 just to try out the Steam store. After that it went on sale for like $10 during the winter sale. I remember thinking "Never again will I buy something on steam that isn't on sale".

I believe it was The Witcher after they introduced regional price for my country.

Wait, can this happen?

Yes but it shouldn't effect people who already redeemed their gift. Just ones still in the inventory and future purchased gifts.

Yeah, just to clarify, I'm not worried about buying a copy, just wondering if that price will be available for a while (and potentially discounted next year). Looking at Witcher 2, it isn't even available in that region.

Team Fortress Classic. I only switched to Steam because I had to. TFC used to use WON and when that went away they switched to Steam. Everyone hated Steam back then and for years TFC was the only game I had. I only really started using Steam a little over a year ago after I discovered Steam sales.

Quick question for SteamGAF. How many of you registered a Steam account for HL2? I had no idea what steam was and was kind of mad I had to install some bloatware just to play HL but now here we are.

Yep. Exactly the same reaction too.

I like you.

Also:
On the one hand, cheap Steam Witcher 3 from our friends in the East.
On the other hand, my other Witcher games are all physical/GOG.
Eh, I've got almost a year left, I'll turn it over a few more times.

Also also:
Humble Daily: Cloudbuilt 75% off

I saw someone ask about Stranded earlier. It's got a decent price over at the GF indie sale with the JUL20OFF coupon -- is it worthwhile? The steam reviews are 85% negative.

fine. I guess i'll give you something less intensive so you can run on your PC.

While that would obviously be much appreciated, I would honestly much rather that gift go to someone else here in SteamGAF. I got so many awesome gifts during the sale from awesome SteamGAFfers (and friends outside of GAF) that I'd feel a bit bad accepting any more.

Your generosity is super awesome though, man! You're part of what makes SteamGAF so great. :D

EDIT: Also, unrelated, but obligatory HEY EVERYONE GO BUY CRIMZON CLOVER BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME.

I think it was Left 4 Dead 2. I bought it for like 7 bucks because i thought that was a good price at the time.

How does it play like? i love the monkey king look!

The controls are more similar to Zelda, believe it or not. There are combos and targeting, dodges and flips.

It seems there's less focus on platforming and more on combat. I really like it. It's unapologetically bright and family-friendly.

I registered my Steam account with the GOTY edition of Half-Life 2 which I bought at GAME for £20 or £25 so that I could play Counter-Strike: Source with my school friends. I think that my first purchase on the Steam store itself was a pre-order of Audiosurf a few years later though I did buy a retail copy of The Orange Box from Shoppe Two in the interim.

I actually spent a few moments during the latest Steam Seal looking at my account history and reminiscing about my first Seal and Steam purchases over the years. I remember being hyped at seeing Torchlight reappear on the last day of an Autumn sale as I'd missed its initial offering. I enjoyed looking at my first real Seal, a Winter Seal when I was anticipating building a gaming PC during the following summer, where I bought a number of Star Wars games.

Steam <3

Damn, almost missed that Cinders bundle, didn't notice Cinders was in it when I first looked. Waiting for the bundles continues to pay off.

It's certainly a better idea than just raffling it and someone that doesn't know what the game is/doesn't really care for the style getting it. ;)



No, once you get the games page, there's a gift icon after each game (with steam keys available) every time.

OK thanks gonna grab it now. I ask because when I tried to gift my Octodad Steam link from HB, it didn't offer one and I redeemed the game to myself.

My first purchase on Steam was during one of the summer sales. I had seen videos of the Binding of Isaac and Terraria, and I was pretty sure I could run on it on my old terrible laptop. So I bought those along with Civ III, Tropico 3, and Worms Reloaded.

Day of Defeat: Source when it became available. Really enjoyed the original and wanted to see how the Source version was.
