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.)

    Race: the WTCC Game was my first Steam game, I’ve bought a CD of the game and it came with a Steam key. I’ve pretty much forgotten about it until I heard of this new game called Portal 2 and it needs a Steam account to buy. Tried registering and whoops, you already have an account on this email.

    The game itself currently cannot be purchased on its own , the bundle the game’s included costs 40$ which i don’t think is worth just for that game.

    Currently I have 250 games bought and 700ish more with Family Share.

    Call of Duty Black Ops 1. It needed something called a “steam qccount” to work? Couldn’t just install and play it straight from the disk?

    the og sierra retail box of counter-strike is my steam originator code.

    my purchase history wouldn’t go back far enough for the few steam sales items i have on it. the only other retail box added was hl2 the week it came out.

    The oldest game on my account is Torchlight 2, but first purchased game was Ascension, the deckbuilding game. Or the Crucible DLC for Grim Dawn if that counts.

    The Talos Principle. That was in 2016, when I created my Steam account. It was also the first game I bought legally. I will now proceed to install it on my Steam Deck.

      Great game, I never finished it. Got stuck on some puzzle after completing 50-100+.

      I really loved the narrator and minimal storytelling in that game. It had a strange sense of religion, math, technology, and mystery.

      Like portal, but with absolute severity and no jokes.

      I may try it again myself. I had a fun time.
