10 Years of using Steam! What do ppl get after such a long time.

[Nebujin]

Soon im using Steam, playing Valve Games etc, for 10 Years!

I wonder if Steam will offer some nice gifts after such a long time? Not just me, everyone else whos using this platform for 10 years (basicly since its release), should get a free gift. It should be something special, like a game of our choice for free, or even more games :3 What do you think about it? I mean 10 years are a long time, shouldnt it be appreciated?

Every feedback would be nice.


Greetings Nebujin

Using Steam isn't a charitable gesture from you, you do it because you get something out of it. That is, it's a transaction of sorts. So Valve is only as obligated to reward you as you are to reward them. If you truly think the ten years is worth it, send them a free gift if you're going to ask for one yourself.

I don't see this happening, maybe a nice badge is all.

They should give every 10 year Steam veteran a gold watch, doesn't mean they will.

You get Gabe not deleting your whole account for free.
Be thankful of it.

It will be really sad if we login to see another "sale" in same store template that they've been using for past 2 years. Remember the community choice sale that was already pointless in 2012? It's BAAACK!

I would like to see a mosaic of all 10 year Steam Users, interesting web infographics of what was going on in this Steam decade, a timeline or something in that style. Ofcourse a little treat for users wouldn't hurt anyone.

The same as we have always gotten. Endless saled every day of the week.

Yeah, good luck with free stuff.

Hell I have been working the same job for 20 years (on Sept 20th) and you know what "gift" i get...a paycheck every two weeks, so in essence, nothing.

No way, you'll get anything for using steams free client for 10 years.

hackers and cheats and plenty of lag!

Stop playing MW3 while you torrent and you'll solve all three problems at once...

Back to topic.
These schemes, like rewarding long time customers and big spenders serve the purpose of customer fidelization.
They're meant to be incentives to stop people to going elsewhere... But where are you going to go? Origin? Uplay?...
Even people who buys out of the store ends up back to steam to activate an play those games bought elsewhere.

Really like it, though its only been like 5 years.

They'll probably give 10 year users a special badge or something. Don't expect anything more than that though.

At least something, better than nothing ;) I'd be okay with everything.

[Bloody Useless]

yeah, a random game on your 10 year anniversary would be nice :)

Ow, cuts deep son.
