There is not much to specify for the question, its really simple: Which title is the first game you have purchased on Steam? Was it a good decision? How much did you pay? When was it and what device? You don't have to answer all questions, this is just a fun discussion to have.

You can check your history: https://store.steampowered.com/account/history/ Edit: Some in the comments pointed out that the purchase history doesn't go back all to the beginnings of Steam. So if you purchased something earlier, it won't be listed on your account.

(I reply with my game too.)

Yeah link is definitely wrong. Mine is saying Dow 2 in 09, but I remember being pissed because I had to get an account and spend 3 days downloading updates on 56k just to play hl2 which came on 6 cds in the first place. And why did I have to use this stupid store just to play a single player game that I bought and installed physically.... Then I actually played the game and was amazed with the seewsaw section with bricks. So y'know, worth it.

Yeh, but you didn't purchase that through steam, you got the discs. Things like codes from boxes or key sites or whatever don't get put into this list. This list is literally only stuff you have bought and paid for on steam.

My first purchase is years after my account was made and stuff like Counter strike and Day of Defeat had already been active on said account for all that time.

Oh and apparently I have had a steam account since 30 august 2005.
