My current account is 17 years, but my long lost original account would have been 22 now. When I first made it was like "What is this bullshit? Why do I need to sign up for some crap just to browse servers for Counter Strike? And it's running extra programs taking up precious system resources? This is just shittier Gamespy, and Gamespy isn't even a thing anymore, there's no way this will last"
I made an account begrudgingly and hooked it up to a "junk email" account that got lost somewhere in time.
Eventually Steam started selling games and linking them to your account and suddenly the value of the platform was apparent.
Hindsight is 20/20. Really wish I had that "22 Year" badge.
You'll always have that badge for us
