Does Steam level matter to you?
I don't get it, you have to wear that 16 years badge style multiple years and then get one new style for 19 and 20.
Not to mention i like that 19 years style much more than the 20 years style
*edited post to make it more clear

it's the same badge, your number just goes +1 every year (on the day you joined)

Huh, mine worked fine over the years.
Edit: oh, now I know what you mean... before the 19 years one, it's always the same badge background and style for 3 years each.

the design? who cares about a background lol. the way you said it seemed like there's a number 16 standing for 3 years, lol.

Neat, little guide!
The author even lists the account of the big one himself, allegedly.

I'm closing in on 12 years and it feels like I've been there forever. Crazy to think that people have been there 8 years longer than that.

I would have expected some sort of celebration from Valve for the 20 year anniversary of steam, but I quickly realized it's Valve we are talking about, they don't do stuff like that.

It's a bit odd that they haven't tbh. No biggie though!

So weird right? They have sales for just about anything but not this?
And if they can't get a sale going, I don't know... do a raffle for 5 Steam Decks or something. Geez, Valve!

Not all featured games are on sale (I guess the publishers didn't get the memo or just missed the opportunity), and quite a lot are not even available for purchase.

Yeah, they mention that in the intro text.
We thought it would be fun to look back at the top releases on Steam each year (many of which are on sale as part of this celebration, including all Valve titles!)

Heh, today my birthday too, did not know that I was sharing it with Steam. I want my "so old" badge.

We are vintage, man, not old. Also I am older than you. I just was slower on the draw with Steam, which makes you a legend

I am nearer than you unless you were born between September 13th and January 3rd.
You're nearing 50. I'm circling for the landing

Tell that to my mirror... although... I've got the hairline of a baby...
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey that's something. I have more white hair in my eyebrows than on my head.
Still feel the years when I am biking or you know... just trying to stand up straight after getting up from bed XD

I feel you... 😂
Also by "hairline of a baby" I meant that my balding temples have scheduled an in-person meeting in the not too distant future.

Edit: lol, completely glanced over the "today"...

That's what 20 year olds say about 25 :P
Happy Birthday :)

I always found the "Years of Service" badge pretty undewhelming. The 20's one has even uglier colours. They should redesign it.

I think they broke the site again. I don't see whatever new point shop items they were advertising. I'm also surprised they didn't do a new event with stickers and emotes.

Free point shop items up.

I still have to wait until Dec 7 to get my '20 years of service' badge :)

all the levels are meaningless to me. there just a way to suck money out of people.
but this does make me wish i could find my first steam account
Comment has been collapsed.
no back then i thought the internet was just a trend. lol
even if i could remember all the names they have been deactivated.

Haha I know what you mean. My first IMDB account was created with my college email. Yep aaaaall gone now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Me too. I reckon it would have been close to 20 years as well.
Damn ISP email accounts that are non-existent anymore.

Not sure about the poll options. I don't care about levels at all, except for the Steam member badge. I've just never considered it to be 'levels', because I'm not crafting anything for it. So I think it should be viewed differently. I know it doesn't say anything really, but I like it regardless 😊

Pretty neat history of Steam.
Thanks for this, WaxWorm.

I'm kinda bummed out when I see stuff like this. My brother has what was my original Steam Account, I forgot all about the account when I got back into PC gaming, and so I created a new account which is the one I use now. So now he has a nice shiny 18 year old badge whereas I just have a 13 year one. I should have traded with him before I bought all my games, sigh, oh well.

Today is Tuesday, September 12, 2023.
Today is the day a select few get their Years of Service badge leveled up to 20!
Pretty cool badge right there!
