2010-2014 Steam layout is so nostalgic for me

[@koyx5222]

Same i got it in 2013 best thing that ever happend to me

[@VonSteiner1]

Same, really wish it never changed.

[@GabriReviews]

is the better one

[@jjcookierock]

I got steam in 2015 how did you guys find out about it

[@erkz2836]

fuck, new ui is such a trash - not only in technical part, but in designer part as well why the fuck buttons are so big, is this a fucking console store? no, its a PC store and there is even big picture mode for those joystick masochists, why the hell you have to force this crap on us, people who use k&m?

[@ytanonymity3585]

Man, Im getting old. If you've been using Steam since 2003, you're a legend.

[@jejh600]

Have you?

[@xpmono9732]

didnt born in 2003

[@ytanonymity3585]

@J EJH I'd registered in 2004 btw when I want to bought DoD and HL2 so I was 1 years late in the party

[@MilosAndric123]

Yeah lol, i remember we all had disabled steam in 2003 lol

[@widerspacefanz4316]

Yeah. I'm one of the steam user that been registered since 2003, I remember when the client used to had a board/card game on it. Just like the classic Windows XP game. Valve need to bring it back. I'd love to play it with a bunch of my friend on Steam someday

[@ytgc-royalewarex5190]

Maybe that's just me but I honestly like the simplicity of the Home's layout from 2008. If Steam allow us to customize our own UI and its background color, I would like to choose that one, at least for the classic Home's layout

[@chrisdavies8767]

They do, there's a folder to drop custom skins into, it's a feature valve support

[@chugnuts4208]

i use the metro skin which is very minimalistic

[@Cayden1988]

Signed up for Steam in August of 2006. First game I bought was a retail copy of CSS and then bought Garrys Mod. I've thrown so much hours into Steam playing with old friends together. I didn't have a job until 2011 as I was incredibly young. Once I got a job I poured a lot of money into my Steam account. Having only to split rent and the other necessities I must of bought over a hundred games within the first few months of working. Bought a new computer straight away and spent a lot of time in my younger years enjoying all the games I bought back then. I can honestly say it kept me out of trouble as a young adult and I wouldn't trade the world for those peaceful experiences. Proudly can say I'm a mass buyer who never plays most of the games like much others. Although I've curbed that behaviour a lot as we get older more responsibilities pile up. I'll always a loyal customer on Steam.

[@joeleuropeancrusader4477]

my brother also started in august 2006

[@crimsonMaiden]

I signed up in November 2004 And my Frist game was half life!

[@GhostRangerr]

Man I also have 200+ games in my library, but I keep playing the same one game everytime. We are so weird lol

[@brutpenta]

@@crimsonMaiden nice

[@eymenthug]

This comment is legit, the account was created 17 years ago

[@jejh600]

It would be cool if Steam would allow us to downgrade the UI.

[@ggxrazorz]

id love to return to 2017, thats when i started gaming and still that UI is better than what we have now

[@LightspeedAdventurer]

Me too, even if I didn't use Steam all that much until like 4 years ago I still find it intriguing and wish I could experience the older versions of the UI.

[@aspirewot8408]

True 2010 steam was food

[@RandomRedBox4533]

theres something you can install called millenium, theres not many themes for it but you can get the 2013 ui and green 2003 ui look for it

[@grungebruv]

Nice throwing in the Silent Hill soundtrack over the video. Miss the old days..

[@R3TR0--93]

The song is the sound of the old days in a eerie way

[@widerspacefanz4316]

For those who using Steam since 03, remember when the old Steam client used to had board/card game at Friends section ? I wish Valve didn't removed it. Those stuff need to be back. Somehow I'd love to play them with a bunch of my friend on Steam again.

[@FATTYBONGRIPS]

I vaguely remember this feature... was this a thing in like 2008-2009?? could be making stuff up in my head but idk

[@athanasioshasapis8729]

My brother triggered a memory that I haven't thought about since the mid 2000s

[@k2soapgg887]

Steam user since 2005 here. Day of defeat, Darwinia and HL2 were my 1st 3 game I purchased

[@twixxtro]

I was born in 2004 and i have a question: did you have to end steam task in task manager when a game didn't open? Back in 05?

[@DeadX2]

I been a steam user sense 2017

[@ezzahhh]

I remember the good old days of preordering Half Life 2 Silver edition and how excited I was for that game to unlock, man how does time go that fast. Good times! 😎

[@V-95K]

Go damn time flies 😩 2007 the year when I joined steam… for me 2011-2013 steam felt like something very special… I miss those flash sales

[@elisodolgan2843]

So nostalgic

[@phillipbade4808]

Man I definitely feel old. I remember having Steam on my computer and it didn't even have a store. I was born 1995. Jesus

[@phillipbade4808]

I played nothing but CS 1.6 (even some 1.5) and TF. Later I played CSS which I became addicted too. Thank you Gabe for the wonderful years

[@Strelnikov403]

I just want the green GoldSRC/early Source UI back, man...

[@DamienPaceGaming]

I know this comment is over a year old, but back in october of 2020, someone made a steam community post titled "I fixed the Old Flat Green Steam Skin", allowing you to use either version of the old green skins!

[@kindbud]

Bought so many games on PS3 & Xbox 360 that I cant even play anymore.. Wish I wouldve just bought them all on steam

[@kohkappin]

2012-2016 was so good

[@Imtotallyayoutuber]

Man I hope one day we just get a update where you can change the layout to the classics

[@Trewg]

use steam skins

[@mylifesogood217]

I started using Steam a year ago, but I really would like to see how it all started because this service has become my favorite

[@requestedname]

me too

[@maulmemes]

Only a year ago? Well, two years now. What were you doing before Steam?

[@mylifesogood217]

​@@maulmemesI got a computer three years ago, so I spent a whole year on torrent trackers because I didn’t have the opportunity to buy games. Now I'm working and that's why I allow myself to buy games on Steam. I already have almost 130 games

[@mylifesogood217]

​@@requestedname❤

[@mylifesogood217]

[@ineedc3477]

[@banskythedoggo9562]

I started using steam in late 2014 and I’m already feeling old

[@orphancripler]

I need a screenshot of the library UI around 2018 (when I started using it instead of emulators), I just remember one day it all changed to what we know today and really want to remember how the library used to look when I started.

[@oneactoneda4393]

I still remember my Steam account been registered during Christmas in 2005. 1 thing I miss was the day when we could easily do a trick by changing the region and buy game in cheapest price based on the other region currency we changed without any restriction of their payment system. Not to mentioned when Steam used to had a crypto payment option so I could purchased any stuff on there with a lot of my BTC I had keep. I wish Steam keep the crypto payments on their option and just add another option for another crypto like ETH, Litecoin, altcoin, and etc, etc since there are many valuable crypto currency out there rn

[@romar.]

The 2013 search bar... holy nostalgia

[@rezi0909]

I remember the 2004 gui. Emotional flashback. We had white (more yellow) PC cases with Pentium Processors - CD/DVD was a must have. WinXP on HDD took ages to boot up. ...but the graphics cards were tiny compared to todays. We made LAN partys in the garage with our CRT monitors... oh man what a time to live!

[@FiremanSamBoy2008]

My dad created our family Steam account in October 2008.

[@Cmdt.Talles]

damn i'm getting old, the first time i entered steam was in 2007, playing condition zero in lan house but my first account i've created 10 years later in 2017 with my first gaming pc

[@razatk629]

Bro. I miss 2010 steam so much

[@fawkes.6820]

I played on steam in 2014...my god it was so cool and new to me

[@G2004gaming]

i remember going on my dads old pc when i was about 6 and asking him what steam was he was surprised people where still using it seeing how old it was.

[@darobloxster]

now recreate the video with the april 2023 ui

[@lynxydarkshade]

Man...its crazy to think that CoD, Steam, and a bunch of other great amazing games released 20 years ago, where have time gone, i was only 3-4 years old when all these amazing things came out, definitely amazing to see Steam and CoD: All Grown Up

[@1deagr]

Why did you only show the store page and not any of the actual memorable parts of the UI ?

[@jam6000]

I first got Steam to check out the HL2 demo and play Earth's special forces. For me the next big thing was when L4D came out. Now it's all about the Deck.

[@CheddarVG]

Hey, I started in 2008. Portal was the first game I ever got.

[@DIRECTEDBYH]

man I completely forgot that this was steam. I remember being a kid this was as complex as hacking for me hahaha

[@barneykenway4767]

I watched this just because I wanted to see 2016s again a simpler time in my life

[@some_cool_random_guy]

[@Furious321]

This is more of an "Evolution of the Steam Website". Surely there are more images available of the application itself. That's what people remember using. The site is only for initially downloading Steam and for when you aren't near your PC. lol

[@Luso1221]

Should be glad that there is even a video about it, imo

[@hustla818]

That's what I came to see. Instead saw screenshots of the website probably from an archive

[@bigsniffouofficial7179]

My dad got a 2003 account so I use him since 2011

After 2014 it just starts going downhill.

The idea that you could pay 49.99 for HL2 AND CS:S is just painful to think about.

[@thisfeatureisbad]

Ohhhh.... I remember the 2014 Steam back in 2016 when I registered, then the UI changed.

[@OGPatriot03]

All you showed was the store page... Lame. I wanted to see the games tab because that's what all of us looked at.

[@tist203]

[@1MuchButteR1]

Unfortunately in my country everything was pirated in 2003. Definitely would be a vibe to have a 2003-2005 steam account. Made one eventually in 2010.

[@hythron]

I remember steam had an animated steam icon in the notification bar.

[@ScaryL4rry]

My dad joined steam the 2009 and his account was very old

[@twixxtro]

If i would have taken a guess i would have guessed that steam was released in 2012... I was shocked to find out steam is actually older than me!
