The same happened to me with Chrono, but I started to use the forums at beginning of this year, and for Steam, I created my account back in 2018 or so, just to play Unturned but I started to buy games in September 2019 and knowing all these Bundles/Deals stuff too

I came to steam through others who used the platform and the free stuff was especially luring but yeah the first game I think I paid for on steam I think was civ 5
Chrono I found on those slightly murky looking sites I think u had to visit some links before u entered in for a steam key or that and I was like hmm I hope this doesn’t link to another dodgy looking game store and there I was like okay this looks surprisingly legit

I got to Steam for free multiplayer games in around 2013, and also bought or received some multiplayer games from buddies. That was nice. But in 2016 I got a better laptop and got Life is Strange for it. It got me hooked on amazing indies with great stories to tell, so here I am, 700+ games on Steam, most are singleplayer or coop instead of competitive.
As for Chrono, I suppose it was mentioned on Reddit bc of unique coin system. I found the community by browsing at the same day, i think. And it ended up being my prime game community 
even if I’m not very active.

I got here from TB. He talked about after a video and I checked it out. I probably lurked for a while before I joined.
I don’t even remember when I got a steam account. I’d have to figure out what my first game was somehow. Maybe I got it for unlocking free games.

found chrono from caddicarus
as for steam, I don’t remember but maybe its because of people around me talking about using it or something (man I remember downloading a ton of free games not long after I started steam)
no I’m not dead, I’m typing like this because I’m bored

When I got my steam account.
Which means, I started on steam because I was playing Terraria with some random dude in the UK I met on Facebook. Still actually steam friends with him, but we haven’t played together in a long time.

I discovered Steam a few years ago. I don’t even have a gaming PC, but I’m a huge board game geek and got it just to play Tabletop Simulator with some friends.
Chrono/Nexus I found when looking up jobs around my campus! I looked into what they were about and thought it would be a really fun opportunity (which, it totally was)!
