How would one check purchase and activation date of games on steam?
I recently wanted to find out when i activated my steam account since my "years of service" badge is wrong. I have proof to back this up as well, because I have a screenshot dated Feb 14, 2007; however my steam badge says that I have only been on steam since February 1st, 2008. So how would I check what DATE I activated my first game and account, since whenever I go to my account details and licenses and subsciptions it only says what game I got and how I got it, but not the date.

Thanks for commenting but the game I first got didn't show up there. It's because of how I bought it before I had a steam and then activated it.

What game? It honestly shouldn't matter how you acquired the game, as long as it's on your account.

EDIT: I should add, if you bought the game before you created your Steam account, it doesn't matter when you bought it, but when you activated it.

The game was Sin Episodes Emergence but it wasn't on the list for some reason. It was the first game I got and had activated it on steam. The whole list appears to be messed up because, I remember buying Garry's mod in 2007 and I have a screenshot of it from 2007 and yet the list says it was bought in 2010. Again thank you for the help.

Instead of purchase history try looking at "View licenses and product key activations" under account details

If its indeed a purchase, then you can. You received an email when you bought the game. That email has a time stamp. Viola!

If it was purchased on Steam within 6 months
https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPurchase
click on the transaction and it has the time.

If it's older than 6 months, hope you have the e-mail confirmation saved.
