One Guy's Steam Level Just Broke 1,000

Last time we checked in on renowned Steam demigod PalmDesert, he'd just pushed his Steam level to 600. At the time, he had the highest Steam level in the world. He still does, only now it's broken 1,000.

PalmDesert is a 35 year-old man living in Japan. He owns a whopping 5,029 games, a significant chunk of Steam's entire library, which is comprised of 7,481 games and DLCs. He recently became the first person to hit Steam level 1,000, something only he has done so far (his closest rival is closing in with a Steam level of 993). Currently he's at level 1,046. As is often the case, he crossed a new threshold before Valve even got around to designing a graphic for it.

PalmDesert has been at or near the top of the Steam level rankings pretty much since the system was implemented in 2013. The man does not eat or sleep, apparently. He does, however, play a shitton of Rocksmith. A person's Steam level comes from owning games, participating in events, and crafting Steam badges from trading cards that come from games. Higher Steam levels earn you things like friend slots and the ability to showcase things (items, favorite games, achievements, etc) on your profile. As you can imagine, PalmDesert's profile is decked the fuck out.

Yes, Valve has very effectively game-ified the act of spending money on their store. It might strike you as a bit icky, but it's hard not to respect PalmDesert's dedication to staying on top for three years. And counting.

Did they make HL3 yet ?

Dream on... Gabe is making too much money with Steam to bother with that.

And I'm struggling to get past level 10.

But at least I can play all the games I have

Imagine the amount of money he spent on really terrible games ( imo there are tons of it on steam )

Jesus christ,how did he achieve this? this took him a lot of time for sure,so many time wasted for
a useless number...
And how much money he lost on bad game's,i just feel sorry for him.

Then he can't use cost as an excuse for not making HL3
The first one cost millions back in like 2003'ish

Pretty dumb all he has to do is take his teams and tell them to make it.
They have everything needed..

Maybe he's worried about a guy from Germany coding a Perforce related hack
..which resulted in HL2 getting stolen.

No worry though they can always invite him to the USA for a job.. then arrest him LOL
idiots

I still wonder actually what steam level does.
It gives you something that really makes it worth of it?

Anyone know the answers guys?
