Badge to reward 20 years of loyalty on Steam
20 years ago, Steam was just a greenish launcher for accessing Counter-Strike. A lot has changed, and this pane of PC titles is now a favorite of many users. However, in addition to regularly welcoming newcomers, Steam doesn’t forget to thank those who have been on the platform since its humble beginnings. Now, they benefit from a “20 years of service” badge whose color refers to the first appearance of the platform in 2003. Users have badges every year to reward their loyalty, but this one is more symbolic than the others. What’s interesting is that Steam’s earliest adopters are, for the most part, still active. Even if several of them belong to developers of the platform, like Erik Johnson’s account, it remains impressive.
In the screenshot above, you will find the oldest Steam users, which allows you to learn that the very first account is named Abacus Avenger. If you created your account in 2003you are one of the players who will receive this badge full of nostalgia.
