Neat. Looking forward to it. /s

Dragonmind, do games w Ubisoft's XDefiant Delayed After Being Rejected by PlayStation and Xbox - IGN

Either both platforms restricted Passes to harder validation after Cyberpunk 2077 or XDefiant is BUGGIER than Cyberpunk 2077

kaitco,

Like, seriously? How bad does a game have to be to fail from such a major Publisher?

otter,

Yea I’d expect something like that from an indie developer that’s not familiar with the approval process

Why would they submit if they weren’t sure if was going to pass lol

GreenMario,

Ubisoft is a big company. I can see it as the devs saying “it’s not ready” and some exec, high on his if you believe hard enough it’s true bullshit and said either submit it or find another job.

Maybe they thought their checks cleared?

Or, it’s a security violation. Maybe the game accidentally opens a door to allow unsigned software to run.

GhostMatter,

Best comment here. Either exec (with overconfidence or deadlines), or security violation seem most likely. Surprising that it’s for both platforms though…

VioletRing,

I've never played Cyberpunk, but watched my husband play for a lot of hours. I played Xdefiant's beta for a day in June. I'm puzzled by why it didn't pass. Beta was not buggy, had maybe one minor issue with it. My guess is security violation.

Son_of_dad,

I can’t even play Borderlands 3 on my ps4, it crashes repeatedly and is completely unplayable. Somehow this garbage made it past the quality control

GunnarRunnar,

More likely is that Cyberpunk was that big of game that neither platform wasn't willing to risk losing sales for not being out day 1.

MurrayL,

Or neither. Platform cert doesn’t directly correlate to how many bugs a game has, it’s a set of very specific test cases that software has to pass to be approved for release: show the correct button prompts for the platform, have correctly-implemented achievements/trophies, show correct error messages, etc.

Some of the tests do include things like ‘don’t crash during normal operation’, but the failures could be almost anything. (Source: am a developer)

My account is @hotmail.com. I’m not sure I’m in this wave, but it must be a few weeks till I hit it.

Mine is still a @yahoo login but I wont hit 20 years until February.

EveningPancakes,

I guess I was dumb when creating it back then.

EveningPancakes,

Mine is @yahoo, really wish I could change it.

scottywh,

If you still have access to the original email address you can definitely change it.

EveningPancakes, (edited )

Hmm I’ve definitely changed the email that was associated with the account name, but the account name I think originally required an email domain in the field? That is something that you cannot change. It’s fine though, because the user name can be changed.

Found it on the FAQ, Account ID can’t be changed - help.steampowered.com/en/…/2816-BE67-5B69-0FEC

scottywh,

My account becomes 20 years old in 5 days and I’ve never had an email domain in the account name.

EveningPancakes,

Yeah I dunno, maybe I was dumb back then but I’ve seen others posting similar questions/observations on Reddit and elsewhere before. Thankfully Steam lets you change the display profile name.

Swarfega, (edited )

Mines a domain I used to have thinking I was cool. I was not…

omgitsaheadcrab,

Mine too, I hit 20 years this week 🥳

One more year and my Steam account can legally drink and smoke. I’m taking it to Vegas!

delitomatoes,

You can start drinking at 18

In America, probably not. It’s 21 for all states due to a federal law. If a state has it lower than 21, they get way less funding for Federal high ways, as the bill was aimed to lower drunk driving.

Count me in the 20s !

isVeryLoud,

Haha the what now? Are you talking about the Yahoo! Software?

It was basically GameSpy, but better.

GameSpy was a universal server browser.

If you ever used the server browser in Steam itself and not from the game, that’s basically what they were. An external app that you could get a list of servers for pretty much anything you added to it.

Before steamid there was wonid. OGs know.

Swarfega,

I for some reason take great pride in having a low numbered steamid.

fuzzzerd,

I robbed my self of that ability accidentally, because I preferred cs 1.3/4/5 and it was won only, so I actively avoided 1.6 like the plague and with it steam. Then halflife 2 came out and I bit the bullet.

Swarfega,

I was a TFC player so there was no change for me.

Oz0ne,

yeah i signed up the same day wonid switched to steamid and nabbed a 5 digit

Incredibly, some of Steam’s early adopter accounts are still actively in use today, a full two decades after their creation.

There are dozens of us!

programmer_having_errors,

Probably thousands, if not more!

iesou, (edited )

At least

Edit: Mine turns 20 in 5 days

scottywh,

Apparently I’ve got 6 more days til mine turns 20, as well.

Green_Bay_Guy,

I’ve got about 8 hours, but I also live on the opposite side of the earth +12 hours, so we’ll see if it’s bound to UTC time 😂https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/39f2c801-03a2-4d5e-8b48-fec55f92f28e.png

dolle,

I finally managed to find my account age. 19 years and one month! Time flies.

I had a long hiatus, but I still play FPS games regularly. And I can still join a random HL2 deathmatch and pwn :).

paddirn, do games w Steam's Oldest User Accounts Turn 20, Valve Celebrates With Special Digital Badges - IGN

Took me awhile to look it up, but just saw I’ve had my account since December 31, 2003. I’m just about at 20 years.

@Supervisor194@lemmy.world avatar

November 16 2004 here. I was late to everything back then.

Not coincidentally, the release date for Half Life 2 was (drum roll please): November 16, 2004 lol.

SirQuackTheDuck,

Mine’s 15 now, but back in the day I used those bootlegged Steam clients that allowed me to run Garry’s Mod for free. Those were the hackey, piratey times of 700MB aXXo DVD rips that took 1 hour to download.

I’m primarily a console peasant, but my Steam account goes back to 2007. I don’t remember the specifics, but I know I opened it after getting a physical copy of The Ship from Target. Never played it much, though.

I only signed up to play hl2 I think before that I used keys and CDs for things like ground zero

jcit878,

I remember a work friend burnt HL2 on cd for me and the only way to make it work was he also gave me his steam login. and the dude had a ripper username I still remember to this day, even though I havnt seen him in nearly 20 years.

aw, only 19 for me!

chaogomu,

Mine was 19 years, but I was military and got sent overseas for a few years. When I came back, I hadn't actually logged in for the entire time and my account had been reset.

iMastari,

In November it will be 19 years for me as well.

Sept 12th 2003 is the date of my account. Tomorrow it turns 20. Very nice.

doubletwist,

Mine doesn’t turn 20 until January. I decided to wait a bit to see if it would actually fail first.

thantik,

I was a daily CounterStrike 1.6 player back then. I didn’t have a choice. Literally couldn’t play unless I converted over to a Steam account.

doubletwist,

I was playing CS as well back then. I don’t recall being forced to use steam

TSG_Asmodeus,

They closed the WON network in November I believe it was, which is when I had to make my steam account.

boothin,

My steam account was also created in November, so I'm going to say that is correct as CS was the reason I made mine too

Anticorp, (edited )

CS is what got me to finally open a steam account too. I can’t remember if it was the only way to play, or if it was a considerably better way to play. Either way, everyone playing CS was on Steam so I finally opened an account.

wheeldawg,

I played cs 1.6 at a few LAN parties, but didn’t own it. I didn’t actually join steam until after CS:S had been out a while. I actually bought a hard copy of it.

scottywh,

Same

Anticorp, (edited )

I hated the idea of an installer to install programs that had their own installers. It seemed like a pointless extra program to me, so I resisted getting it until I wanted to play Counterstrike and Steam was the best, or maybe the only way to do that. So I broke down and opened a Steam account.

RaivoKulli,

I’d still prefer if we didn’t have to have these launchers.

wheeldawg,

What is cs2?

Anticorp,

Counterstrike 2. But I guess I was misremembering, since I can’t find any reference to a CS2. I guess maybe it was CS 1.2. Shrug

EveningPancakes,

You’re thinking about Counter Strike Source, which was on the new (at that point) Source engine. CS:Source is what came after CS 1.6

Anticorp,

Yes that must be it! CSS. Ha! Web dev shit.

wheeldawg,

There’s never been a CS2. Other than a version of the name of the set of Adobe programs (ie, Photoshop CS2)

CS 1.6 is the popular one. That version is about to turn 20 as well.

You’re probably thinking of Counter Strike: Source, the name they gave it when they released it built on the Source engine.

Then there was the current one, Global Offensive.

However, there’s a new one about to be released that I think is still being called CS2. Not sure if that’s the final name or not, I haven’t been following it very closely. But I think it’s due to release this month. Or sometime soon.

Anticorp,

Thanks. I think it was Counterstrike Source.

wheeldawg,

I saw at least 2, maybe 3 other comments mentioning CS2, so you’re not the only one. Unless you were talking about it elsewhere in these comments and that was you.

I was beginning to think there was another OG stream game I hadn’t heard of.

knightry,

Lmao I get this all the time. My account turns 20 tomorrow.

MrGerrit,

Fellow sept 12th here! Never would have thought that the simple looking launcher would turnout to be one of biggest juggernaut of selling digitale games!

Had to make a account so I could keep on playing CS 1.6. good times.
