As previously mentioned, the Steam client left the beta phase
on September 12, 2003, making today the official
20th anniversary of Valve's online service. A
new post on Steam
celebrates the occasion, offering a timeline highlighting significant moments in
Steam history. And since Steam is primarily a digital games store, there are
links to purchase games on sale (including all of Valve's own titles) scattered
throughout. Here's word:
We couldn't help but throw in a bit more fun, and
in an effort to make us all feel super old put together a fun
walk down Steam and pop culture memory lane. You'll find historical factoids
from Steam and Valve along with important broader milestones like, memes and
stuff.
We're also highlighting the games that were the top releases on Steam from each
year, and many of those games are joining the party with discounts of their own!
And we're hoping you enjoy the new art sprinkled throughout (and featured in a
couple of free new stickers).
