It was either Portal or realMyst. Both were gifts from a friend.

For me it started with bundles. There are plenty bundles out there that contain a game or 2 that I thought of giving a try, so I just bought the bundle instead of the full priced game. Then I also came to steamgifts.com and met a lot of people which lead to me wanting to try more games, so I ended up straight buying every bundle I had. The leftovers were good for trading games I didn't own. Steam cards turned into me farming games to make profit on Steam, which I used on games again. And eventually I ended up where I am now.
I do play a lot of games, or atleast try 'em out, mostly via my alt account.

Why people collect stamps? Coins? They will never use it, but they like it. It's like an addiction (probably it is). You don't need a reason to waste your own money.
And most of the time buying games is stronger than me... (and I'm not even close to 7k).

yes, you don't need reason to waste your own money, but you do need a reason to waste someone else money by accepting giveaways and adding them to their collection. I'm not targeting anyone, im just saying if you are collecting games using your own money, thats fine and dandy, but don enter games payed by other people just to add it in your collection and never play the game.
I know a few people that do these and what a jerk they are.

Whoa... That's a lot a of games! Congrats on your achievement.
And thanks for sharing!
To answer your question, I think my first game on Steam was either a physical copy of CS:S or the Orange Box digital download. I honestly don't remember... But I remember getting Orange Box off WOOT back in the day.

Tomb Raider, on June 14, 2015. I don't know if I should congratulate you or not for that big number, but since you just collect instead of playing, congrats! I know I personally wouldn't want to have a 7k backlog. :P

I know the feeling. I didn't think that way about Steam, but I definitely thought that way or even hoped for it about Origin, Uplay and others.
Now Steam, with all it's bugs and missing features, is the most comfortable way to have a large amount of installed games uptodate etc. Hence why I prefer to buy games via Steam, even if they require 3rd party DRM nontheless.

Counter:Strike 1.6 (I still love it)
I'm not even close to 7k. I have 2k and I usually only play cs:go... 😭

I used to have 7k games like you, but then I took a thousand more to the kinee.
First game activated on Steam was Dirt 3, which was bundled with some video card. First actual purchase was Duke Nukem Forever, which ironically I still haven't played to this day.

Talking for myself: on the positive side I have a lot of Steam removed games more now. ;-)

I'm already for a while in the RGC Steam group and it's still collecting the unavailable. :-)

The situation evolves constantly concerning removed games and there are many other such removed games besides those who Volvo has recently purged. When I was accepted to the group, most if not all of the nearly 200 games that were recently purged didn't even exist at that point in time. :-)

I know, 7k games is ridiculous! Yet I can't stop collecting more and more...
I would've never imagined it would escalate this much when I got my first game, CS:S on April 26th, 2006...
What was your first game on Steam?
Cuphead
Dishonored 2
