True, but the original Steam was created for managing updates to Counter Strike and their anti-cheap system (VAC if memory serves me right). Also back when having a low WON ID (now SteamID) was a badge of honor (like having a low Slashdot account ID).


Sorry for the useless comment but I really like the idea of a „anti-cheap system“.

I will use it in my next presentation for shareholders. /s


I'm sure the behavioral economics people at Activision and EA trying to get kids to buy more cosmetics would have a lot to say about that...
