Valve doesn’t like to celebrate. Therefore we expected that 20 years of Steam will eventually receive special badges that will appear on players’ accounts. But the company surprised me this evening too changed the appearance to make it more like the first version of Steam. She also put together a player thank you video (above), a look at the biggest events of each year, as well as top-selling games and discounts on various legendary games. You will also find a series of funny pictures.
“September 2003 went down in history as the day Valve launched Steam. So, 20 years have passed, and we are extremely proud and at the same time terribly grateful for how our child has grown – with your help, of course, because without developers and players, this would be impossible.” writes Valve.
“To celebrate the full anniversary, we decided to compile lists of the best-selling games on Steam for each of the past years (a number of featured games, including ours, are also discounted during the celebration) and complement them with important milestones for both Steam and for pop culture in general (some in pictures, some in text, and some in both places.) But before you get into this extensive timeline, we must warn you: the dates and facts below are accurate to the best of our ability we should be our decaying memory.
With a deep discount, you can expand your digital library with, for example, three of the best-selling games of 2004 on Steam: Half Life 2, Counter Strike And original Half-Life. All three have a 90% discount and cost less than one euro.
The discount also applies Source Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 1 and 2, call of Duty 2, Company of Heroes, Portal, original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, BioShockTo, Killer’s blood money, Left 4 Dead GOTY edition, Stalker: Clear Sky, Far Cry 2, GTA IV, Origin of Dragon Age, Torch, FEAR 2, Borderlands GOTY edition, Just Reason 2, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and more.
Unfortunately, not all games are currently available for sale. For example, Mafia 2, which was among the best-selling games of 2010, or Skyrim.
“Thank you for being with us for 20 years, and I hope we will meet here for another 20 years!” – Valve adds, reminding you that you can pick up themed gifts.
