My account is so old I have (or had, before they normalized the format) a four digit steam ID. I "owned" Half Life 2 for like four months before it released thanks to getting a code free in the box with my Radeon 9800 Pro back in the day. For a short and glorious flash of time in the summer of 2004, I was guaranteed a copy of the most hotly anticipated game ever, even though nobody could play it yet, and also owned an example of the fastest video card on the planet. Damned if I didn't mow a fuckton of lawns and reinstall Windows and Outlook an a horde of septuagenarians' computers to afford that card.

And no, they do not stop asking about your age.
