US agents are investigating the Charlie Kirk murder suspect's Steam account, but I'm not sure what 2

Published on January 01, 0001

As reported by , the FBI and Secret Service are looking into the Steam activity of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old Utah native accused of assassinating high-profile right wing organizer Charlie Kirk at a September 10 rally.

The account is 11 years old, with nearly 5,000 hours of gameplay logged in that time. This includes 399 hours of Helldivers 2, which was referenced in an engraving on an unused bullet casing found in the investigation.

Nearly half of Robinson's logged playtime⁠—2,148 hours⁠—was spent in Rare's co-op pirate simulator, Sea of Thieves. Robinson's activity also included Pictopix, Deep Rock Galactic, Viscera Cleanup Detail, and 126 hours of PowerWash Simulator. Bloomberg also shared a quote from Robinson's user review of Sea winner55 ทางเข้า สล็อต​ of [[link]] Thieves: "If you play alone, you will die alone."

Having a Steam account doesn't exactly distinguish Robinson from the rest of the general population—there are at least —though that is a lot of Sea of Thieves to play ().

None of this reported activity includes a "smoking gun" one could reasonably tie to radicalization, political or otherwise. Most of these games are cartoonish and cooperative, complicating any read of Robinson as a disaffected loner. Looking over the still-public account, there isn't much to go on: Some TF2 screenshots from 2018, a joke he made in his own Steam comments⁠—some of which have been hidden, according to Bloomberg⁠—and a gobsmacking negative review of Sea of Thieves despite that 2,000 hours of playtime.

Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.

The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.
