Author Topic: your opinion on Steam  (Read 4797 times)


Steamworks has nothing to do with that; Steamworks is the API for achievements, inviting to games, game servers cooperating with Steam Community and other such things. What you're referring to is SteamPipe. It greatly increases startup speeds of every game using it, simplifies skins/mods and makes being a dedicated server hoster much easier.
My bad.
Anyway, as I said, I seen none of those enhancements the SteamworksPipe promises.
Steamworks is useful for devs though, nothing to harm an actual player so yeah, my bad there.

Speaking of steam and games, has anyone seen this?

It's a site that pretty much functions like TF2R, you use points (although TF2R never had that) to enter giveaways/raffles, and if you win, you get the game.

The only sucky part is you must have 100$ worth of games on your Steam account. :/

Implemented steam guard recently to help protect your account.
Recently? You mean over 2 years ago?

Even more reason in my opinion.
The developers themselves don't want the game cheap.

$30 (£18.50) to play the Prison Architect alpha sounds like a lot to me. But I'm told that's sort of the point. "We want fewer people who are more involved," Chris Delay explained. "A smaller number of people who are really involved in the game and really want to contribute to the alpha process and really want to get stuck in; they want to post on the forums, they want to talk to us about their thoughts about the game. Rather than the mass, mainstream, millions of people that have paid 10 cents each who are actually immediately pissed off because the game doesn't work properly and they expect it to be finished already."

-bitching-
I'm sorry, sales? Okay, one Summer Sale was crap. Doesn't mean that all of them are crap.

Why are you bitching about the removal of '/me'? It was useless, annoying, and just plain cheap. If you wanna roleplay, do something like this: *Skull kicks Leet in the face*

What you were talking about was NOT Steamworks. You're talking about Steampipe, which is actually very useful.

There's just always something for you to bitch about. You're just one big bitch machine.

I am wasting too much time for that with no results. Good ratio for my chances of winning at lottery though.

Cool, do you want a shiny trophy that says "I Said My Opinion In Caps"?

EDIT:


Now what was the point of adding the image? Oh right, a person who adds a stupid reaction image.

Ok. So a unfinished game got the Daily Deal. (Starforge Alpha was also like that, except that it wasn't the most important one at the time).

Eh. I'd rather play DoD, or somethin' more like CS:CZ, I don't like the new games.

Here's a game you'll love if you don't like new games.

ok, we really don't care if you don't like new games. go play the old ones then.

On the subject of the removal of /me: Steam really, really isn't a good roleplaying platform, and never was. There are websites dedicated to roleplaying with more commands and features, such as dice rolling, random decision making, colored names, "aliases", etc. IRC channels and Chatzy include a lot of these and are also good options.

If /me is that important, at the very least, use Skype.

Games are good and etc. But they need to really have a large amount of people to focus on steam support.

deals are a god-send, store library is massive, DRM system works without killing user liberty.

the only problems i have involve the steam client being a slow piece of stuff and their "throw anything on the store" attitude (War Z, Citadels, etc. stuffty games that suck balls).  and also they just jam tf2 items for preorders like forgetin crazy.
