      My 20 year old Steam login uses a defunct ISP email from the dial up days. I changed the actual email associated with it for passwords etc. but my login is still “deranger@oldisp.com”

      But the point I was trying to make is email has always been free or included, in my experience. The fact Gmail was free was never the draw imo.
