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?
Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary

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

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

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

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, 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.

Originally played on orange box on the 360, I’m surprised I didn’t already have it on steam. Glad I stumbled on this post
Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Holy crap, someone who actually didn’t have it yet!
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I mean I do, just not on steam
Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Close enough I suppose.

I remember registering my CD key of HL1 on Steam and was surprised when they gave me the expansions for free. Cool, because I didn’t have them.
I remember buying The Orange Box on Steam. I remember it because Steam gave me a warning because I already had Portal - it was free at some point. Was a bit miffed when TF2 went free to play later on.
And I somehow still haven’t played HL2 on Steam, I think? I played it about 1/3 way on Xbox 360. Played the shit out of Portal on 360 though.

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

…Think it’s too late to get a refund?
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
They didn’t even do refunds back then
Crackhappy@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
So you’re saying there’s a chance…
ms_lane@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I don’t think they can refund ATi Half Life 2 tokens.
