it's barely cross-platform
anything else in that top line doesn't matter
iirc everything you buy involves you owning it
you don't have to install anything to use the chat
the only thing is that you have to buy a game before you can add friends
and there are <$5 games so it's fine

I was wondering, does it have to be a full game? My friend wants to be able to chat with steam without having to buy a proper game so I was thinking if it would work if he bought one of those like $1 magicka dlcs or something?

steam and skype
because forget you that's why

Steam for text-chat, Skype for Voice Chat.


steam is all I use mostly
rarely I do use skype though
this.

i seem to be using skype more than steam lately, even though i'm not voice chatting much
i'll probably be voice chatting more now that i have a headset though

I use Steam, Skype, and MSN Messenger, although Steam appears to be my main form of communication next to these forums.
