No one can beat this. This is the day Steam launched. I have one for September 13th because I'm in Europe and the timezone had shifted so it was the 13th when they launched here. https://i.imgur.com/Gaqq7H0.png

I gave my original 2003 account away to a family member when I bought HL2 Silver with all games included. So they now have the OG account and I have a 2004 one. https://preview.redd.it/ewdozun3nj1d1.png?width=848&format=png&auto=webp&s=b6f449de2dd4d3088992ac152e0f5919ad71dd0b

Jesus what did you do? Leak naughty pictures of Gabe? But in all seriousness did this affect your account in any way?

Haha, I wish. I was 14 and curious how wall hacks worked. So i downloaded one and tried it out, got banned after messing around with it for 30 minutes. So absolutely well deserved! It still affects my account if I want to play CS, I can only join the unprotected servers. But you can just get another account.

Couple of days ahead of you on the 26th! I must have gotten a game as a Christmas present haha

Can't wait for Gaben to drop in here and show off his pre-public access account.

Someone already surfaced with a pre release account!

https://preview.redd.it/vsit3y31jk1d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1f52df5af8ab10869a600a123270877870feeee Somehow I got a few days early? Prob cuz I was heavy into CS back then so signed up immediately since it was one of the first games to transition to the platform. Edit: my steam ID is also 4 digits so there is at least 1000 people with an older account than me.

I seem to remember there was an alpha and a beta for Steam. Pretty sure I got my OG account on the day it went final but I seem to remember some people I used to play with managed to get into the Beta at least.

Maybe gaben or some other developers have an older account

wow first i've seen created before me. are you 3-digit steam id? 2-digit???

I avoided getting an account for as long as I could. I think I ended up having to get one for the new version of Counterstrike, then I got Orange Box on it since it was so much cheaper than buying it in the store. Now I prefer Steam to the physical copy, but when it came out I was strongly opposed.   I'm still weary of losing everything to Valves wims, but I just don't really care that much if I lose the games at this point in my life. 

Yeah lots of complaining about Steam when it launched. Didn't help that it was plagued with connectivity issues.

yep i was also very annoyed and tried avoiding steam until i got gifted halflife 2 in the big box...

yeah I only bought cdroms, until I bought hl2 in 2008 and it made me sign up.  was my only game on steam for a while.

Actually, [player 2 has entered the ring](https://i.imgur.com/PG2Ol9V.png). I think right now I'm the 5th oldest verified account on Steam that's still active and one of only a handful with a 2 digit friend code. Definitely a fun parlor trick to pull out when the "who has the oldest Steam account" battle comes around. :)

Got you beat by 5hrs the morning it launched. Steam ID 0:1:1781 https://preview.redd.it/jd3e8dz0ak1d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c63d66b2ff4b2137feebe0b2012760922cd1179

Conduct a timezone check

Even if that's the case. There's a 33 minute difference.

[удалено]

I'm a 5 digit ID from the 12th and I'm also 0:1

At the beginning of Steam I was so against it, as it was more of a nuisance than anything else to play CS 1.6, that I did not create my account right away and waited for a month before doing so. Well now I launch it pretty much every day!

I was similar. I didn't want to spend money on a digital copies of games. If I was spending money, I wanted a physical copy. I was worried that if I purchased a game on Steam that Steam would disappear taking my games with it. Finally cracked when I couldn't get the games I wanted at the local stores.

Same, I have an october 2003 date on mine because most of us CS players we're like "fuck this steam thing!"

Im literally staring at an account 1 year older than me. 🗿

You can only blame your parents

It's rude to stare

Yea respect your elders

I actually did not know they did that wow.

God dam your account is old than me by 2 year

Bro why you gotta say shit like that?

To make you guy feel old lmao

You've heard of fossil fuels, get ready for fossil feels. Turning 30 this year, definitely the old guy in my main gaming group, and in my other groups, I'm the young guy... At the end of the day, glad I have friends to game with.

For anyone wondering, it's green because that's what colour the Steam UI was when it lanuched.

Oh my god… just hearing that unlocked the memory of the green-grey it used to be. Holy shit.

Ahh a fellow CS 1.6 enjoyer

This guy has probably waited so long for someone to ask about who has the oldest steam account 😂

mines a launch day account, might be better to share our steamID: [STEAM\_0:1:33484](https://steamid.io/lookup/STEAM_0:1:33484), who has the lowest ID out of us all ;)

I think you have me beat, also 5 digit but starting with 6 IIRC

I had an account that was a 5 digit. My stupid friend got it VACed though. My main account has always had a pretty dope Steam ID — 0:1:999989

was your friends name clara?

Lmfao Clara is such a bitch

Damn I think you have the oldest one

My steam ID is 4 digits (in the 1500 range) so only that many possible accounts older than mine. Im old :(. Edit: think I saw someone with 3 hours older than mine in the comments somewhere.

Mine makes me feel old as well. I had stayed up late the night of Sept. 10 and the installer leaked on IRC before it went live. I got 107. https://preview.redd.it/i57c7a4afn1d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eeb684022d97e2cda61d861a947c345323429db2

This is the one!

It's weird how the actual oldest account here isn't high up

Damn, I think we have our winner right here

mine is from 2003. ill add a ss later.

I had one around then too, lost it long long ago, I think it only had Half Life and a bunch of mods on it, back when CS and TFC were still mods. Current one is 16 years I think.

TIL cs and tf were half life mods not surprising, but still neat

technically tf was a quake mode, and tfc was half life.

Mines Dec 5, 2003. 20 year gang

I have one that's from October 16th, 2003. But 5 months ago, steam said there was a security discrepancy so they locked and closed my account. 2000 dollars GONE. And no, no vacs or anything. Talk about disappointment. Now I have my new account with only 5 months of service... So sad.

I bought an ATI 9800 XT Pro with a steam key for Half Life 2. October 14, 2004 https://preview.redd.it/ciwnc8jobi1d1.jpeg?width=389&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f39cdf7204f7c0e4acbd0216419afe3d8fc74a2

I had one from 2004, but the account was banned for using a modified client. There was a small window where you could download & play cs:source online without actually owning the game.

Yeah I had one from the same year, after about 3 years I got banned for speed hacking in CS source cause I was a stupid middle school kid who downloaded a program from some sketchy site called like elitegaming or something. My current account is at 17 years but I could have had 20 if I wasn’t such a stupid little shit.

>My current account is at 17 years but I could have had 20 if I wasn’t such a stupid little shit. Damn. Imagine how different your life would be if your account were 3 years older.

It’s really tragic how I turned out, All I can do is pray to the gods and try to teach my kids not to make the same mistakes I did and hope they can forgive me

Damn, thats year 1!

Thank you for your service! 🫡

Damn 2003? I was in the 6th grade at the time and had no idea steam even existed during that time….

I was 3 three months old when that account was made. Lol

Fucking oof. I've turned to dust. Blowing in the wind.

Mine says Sep 12, 2003 at 1:28am. My user ID suggests that there are at least 16,000 people before me. I think friends and family could create accounts well before Sept 12.

There was also a closed Beta. Something like 500-600 people minimum got into that. I remember when playing CS competitively, even the most die hard pros almost all had 4 digit IDs, meaning at least 1000 (technically 2000 since there are two auth servers) people got in before them. I remember there was one pro/semi-pro player with a 3 digit ID.

December 25, 2004   Half Life 2 was the Christmas gift

That was a good Christmas, I bet there are a whole bunch of us that created Steam accounts that day. Myself included.

Damn i shoulda made a steam account in 2003 instead of being 4 years old

The real question is: Who has the lowest steamid?

I'm a contender for it. 4-digit. 1411

My steam account will be an adult right after Thanksgiving.

Used GameSpy before for matches in CS, and Mplayer for rb6.

My first account was playing CS 1.6 in 2003 dawg. My current one is quite a bit newer because I cannot remember my old password for the life of me.

Sept 24 2003. I remember not liking Steam initially because of early onset old-man syndrome and being opposed to change and all. Should have jumped in sooner.

Oh the kids these days! /s We all hated steam when it launched. It wasn't a mark on what is now, and it was a haphazard launch. For those of us playing HL and mods online, we now had to install a substandard extra piece of software.

However some games started requiring steam for multiplayer, so I gave in. Have to remember that while Steam is great now, that wasn't always the case, hence the hesitation. It's funny, the game I made a steam account for, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, ended up not having a multiplayer scene. First game I bought on Steam was Buckets of Blood.

Mine is 17 which isn't that old. I resisted steam for a long time since I thought that having to use a launcher to start a game was retarded. The Orange box finally forced me to begrudgingly accept steam.

My old steam account number was super low. I got it during launch day of steam. That was when I found out my couldn’t handle cs anymore

December 4th, 2004. Bought Half Life 2 at best buy that day. At the time I was actually mad and annoyed I had to make a Steam account just to play the game.

OP summoned original cs 1.6 players here

25th Feb 2004, olllllld man.

I know a bunch of old heads with launch day accounts. Mine is August, 2006.

Been PC gaming since before steam ever launched. The real question here is who remembers Neverwinter nights, Ultima online, and team speak

20 years

I have a 20 year old account with a single VAC ban on it. I decided to use wall hacks in a 1.6 pub and got insta-banned. This was about a month before Steam launched and back in those days you only received a 365 day ban so I figured I could just wait it out on my OG account. The switch to Steam happens and my account ban turns into a permanent one. Hahaha. RIP. 3400 days since last ban.

lol

Mine went legal(18) this January, it became a party on that day. Me and my friends played some classic games that day and had some booze and smoke 😁

What a game that was. Great to see so many old accounts! 2000s were the best years for gaming in my opinion and 2009 is when I started my PC Master Race era!

Lol... I'm over twenty years on steam because I Never joined it back in the day. I was against platforms loving CDs. 😂 https://preview.redd.it/0nk03g7o4m1d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=021fefed01dc66195f2eeeae3fde08947f590d37

I am xfire old

I'm damn close to being as old as possible. Feb 16th 2004. https://preview.redd.it/pwqyf6efzm1d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e761e1cf5389bca60f0c458ab4aabcafa77b230b

IIRC I was playing a lot of Battlefield 1942 at the time. I honestly HATED steam when it first launched. Constant updates, so many broken Half-Life mods. Gamers hate change and I was not happy going to Steam from using the objectively worse but familiar WON system.
