I remember the steam beta, allowing me to finally ditch « the all seeing eye ».

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.

Classic Ubisoft making a buggy mess of everything

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.

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.

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

@irtehwin.com

omgitsaheadcrab,

Mine too, I hit 20 years this week 🥳

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)

Neat. Looking forward to it. /s

Considering the huge lineup of unfinished, broken games, this one must be REALLY broken to get rejected.

What a stupid fucking name. I realize they’re targeting 12 year olds but damn.

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

I’m like 3120 or something to sign up. That day was a complete mess as everyone signing up and trying to download their games DDoSed the platform. At that time Steam was just a client to download and play Valve games.

I was younger then and had my own domain thinking I was cool but it is actually shit and uses leet speak. I’m stuck with that forever now as my account name. Sigh.

    Nice. I didn’t make a Steam account until it supported Linux back in 2013 or so. So I guess I’ll be celebrating 10 years on Steam soon.

    “Only” 12 years here.

    I hit 16 a few months ago.

    mosiacmango,

    Orange box homies say whatsup.

    funkmunki,
    @funkmunki@lemmy.world avatar

    Yes! I spent entirely too much time in TF2 and Gmod.

    mosiacmango,

    Haha yup. I bought it for half life, but figured i would play the other games first. Portal was amazing, so I gave TF2 a shot next.

    I didn’t play half life for like 2 years.

    wowbagger,

    Hitting 20 in 5 hours… ;)

    ipkpjersi,

    I am at 16 as well. I feel so old now lol

    aulin,

    Only 18 here.

    ReluctantMuskrat,

    Same here. I created my account after getting Half-Life 2 for Christmas. Hard to believe that came out in Nov 2004.

    XTornado,

    15 here.

    11/22/2004 reporting in. Just currently 18 almost 19. I do not have a short steam ID though. Can’t remember which game was the first but pretty sure it was either half-life or HL2

    quams69, do games w Steam's Oldest User Accounts Turn 20, Valve Celebrates With Special Digital Badges - IGN

    Damn, 16 here

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

    I think I made mine in 2009 for some sweet sweet TF2.

    JackbyDev,

    The orange box was such a good deal
