The AA(A) recovery meeting continues...
timppu: For quite many years, I think the only Steam games I had were the Half-life 1-2 games and mods.
DProject: Judging by my purchase history on Steam, it would appear that I registered for a free Portal at first, and after a mere five and a half months later I've made my first actual purchase, which was Worms Reloaded so I could play it against some friends. But yeah, my Steam Library is mostly indie bundle stuff too.
My first reason to go to Steam was to continue playing Team Fortress Classic online, when the earlier online platform where it was originally running was shut down, and TFC moved to Steam. At the same point I also registered my retail Half-life games so I got the extra Steam versions of them.
Later I bought Half-life 2 when it came out. After that it was quiet for many years, besides playing TFC on Steam of course.
Only in recent years those HiB games started accumulating into my Steam account, but on top of that I bought quite many Steam-only AAA games there from sales so that my new PC would have something to run on it, besides just The Witcher 2.
Seli seli, as they say.
