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.)

I grew up as a console kid so I apparently didn't buy a game on steam til 2017 but it was civ 3 complete edition and cities skylines. Edit: I did have PC games but always bought them separate. I remember zoo tycoon 1/2/ultimate, red alert 1/2 as early games

I was also a bit late to Steam, not the very least because it was not available on Linux before. So for you, you started buying games that made actually sense to buy on PC (from your perspective). I see you are a slight fan of strategy games.^^ Just little bit slightly maybe :p
