TF2 bought me to Steam, along with a bunch of friends all around the world.

I do not remember. I hated Steam, I only bought from Gog, I even said that I would never buy anything with that drm. I imagine that I fell in love with some video game (physical, you know, with its box and manual) that required steam and there I am.

Well, my history with steam started from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and when I bought it I didn't even know that it requires Steam account to play.

tes games are not my cup of tea, i have one of them and give to a friend one too, i like most stories that i can close, and start a new game, i play most of SP games, and not to many multiplayer/ long games, that make me remember that "i must" play fallout4 !

I have a problem with such games right now, I wouldn't buy Skyrim right now because it's too many explorations and too less of a fabular story. That's why I can't play new Assassin's Creed games cause it's too much about grind instead of doing main quests. But after all maybe without Skyrim, I would never be here.

In 2008 my friend borrowed me the RACE 07 racing game, and I did not know how is Steam working, so I used the key in my newly created account.
I am not sure, why didn't he use the code first. Back then I did not realise what I did. But he had never said, that his game isn't working or anything like that, so I assume, he did not play it.
So, here I am :D

Several of my colleagues kept saying how awesome Steam is, how they never had to worry about misplacing games whenever they moved, etc, etc. Then they consistently encouraged me to check out Portal. Of course, it felt like an echo chamber where everyone was saying the same thing (I guess this is how religions convert people too?), and eventually I caved in and bought Portal on Steam while it was on sale. After that, I got Portal 2 on sale. And then it just kept going. Prices were so cheap compared to everywhere else, and then I learned about Humble Bundles -- and it sort of snowballed from there.
I had initially held out for so long because I hadn't wanted to touch DRM-anything -- whether Steam or Origin or whatever. It was okay when I had just a few Steam games; now I'm at a point that I have so many licenses to play games on Steam that I just try to avoid thinking about what would happen should Steam ever go bankrupt or get bought by some shady company that sells everyone's info!

Now that I have your attention: (bad joke, I know)
I make my very first train here, hope that I didnt make anything wrong
so, I joined Steam on Dic/20/2013
something like an anecdote:
I remember that Steam was giving for free Left 4 Dead 2 on Dic/2013 and a friend of mine say to me to create an account and get the game to play, sadly we never play together, Im still around here, and that particular friend never connect to steam again, we still see each other, time to time in the real life.
so, along the years I meet new friends on steam and lost a few too, I see a lot of pages of giveaways/ or related info about steam to open, and to close too, I remember when at the very beggining I have just a few games and a lot of free time, and now, I dont have time to play them, but my backlog is getting bigger
So; whats its the particular way you meet steam, or SG, or any anecdote you want to share
Sorry for my basic english.
