Random question time: how many of you actually know your Steam friends? As in, do you know them in real life? How many of them have you actually met?

Only 2: my cousin and my girlfriend. None of my other offline friends are/were PC gamers. Not one single person. ;_; Only a couple of them even occasionally played console games. There are some people I met online I'd consider real friends though and would've been hanging around with if only they lived closer.

I have like 5 friends I know irl.
The rest are just friends from friends who I rarely talk to.
In fact, I only talk to 2 of my friends on my list ._.

Out of my 24 friends:
1 is someone who won a giveaway here once.
17 are friends (from a particular online game that is not on steam) that I've never met. It's hardly surprising I haven't met them, as I live in California, and they live on the east coast, or in Canada, or in England, or Australia...
2 are friends from that particular online game that I have met. Both from eastern Canada surprisingly enough. One of them I met almost a decade ago, and the other just last year.
2 are friends from that particular online game that I now live with.
and 2 are siblings, one of whom plays that particular online game.

So, 25% are ones I actually know in person, and of the other 75% I've known all but one of them are good friends, some of whom I've known for over a decade.

All of my real life friends hate Steam, but I have a few (about 3-4 of them are real life ones). They tend to not be on for days - weeks though.

Most of them are generally people I "don't know"

I know some. The vast majority I have never met in person, however.

I know 3 people from my friends list: my wife, my father and my brother in law. Most of the people on my friends list are people who won gifts from me.

I have 2 friends in my friend list, my brother and a guy that i saw in real life only once. I had more friends sometimes ago, like 5 and only people that know in real life, but i've deleted all my contacts in steam and skype cause i thought i was only wasting time speaking randomly with other people.
