      Hotmail, now there is a name I haven’t heard in a while. we used to troll a handsome guy at work. After people left his desk he’d come over " Guys can you stop telling staff my e-mail is HotMale@hotmail.com"

      Thousands of dollars in games hinging on support for an almost dead domain. Brave.

      “We sent you a recovery email, good fucking luck.”

        The email itself has likely been updated, I too have a steam login username with an email included. Cool bit of legacy flair though

        My steam login is a Hotmail account but the email on file is my Gmail account. The Hotmail address is more like a username for steam.

      When I was graduating college 15 years ago, I wanted to create a professional firstname.lastname email. Outlook.com was starting to get traction and Hotmail was getting phased out, but I was advised to create my professional email under Hotmail.com because it would seem ‘more professional’.

      My main email is still the 007 related gmail I created first.
