+1 so much this

And why exactly are TF2 traders annoying? I've been out of the mix for quite some time now, but I've never seen a trader bothering anyone in an official/non trading server; in fact when I was trading I'd just go to TF2Outpost, and never even join a game.

+100!
Specifically coupon traders who think that the free coupons that get dropped in their inventory have cash value, and the profiteers who buy something on sale and try to get double the sale price back while the game is still on sale

If only we could select multiple games at once so we could move them all to a certain group. That would make things a lot easier.

yeah can't even tag a game for multiple categories :(

THIS OMG. I can't believe it has to be that difficult, all that stupid improvements on profiles, and they dont fix the important things.

can we please forward this comment on to Valve support ;-)

Tell me which webstore actually supports one, seriously... They're not even made for online use most of the time

PayPal supports Maestro Card, so you can use it on steam through PayPal.

Maestro is being absorbed into Mastercard as far as I am aware. I work for a hosting company and we don't even accept Maestro anymore for a few problematic reasons.

Maestro card that can be used online are quite rare, for the most part are normale debit cards

It has, but very limited +1

Sad that the last time I used them I got someone with no tech experience following a script.

yeah. :/

Actually, if you really wanted, you could edit the source of the site and you can add any amount you wish above 5.00 :-)

I just buy the game directly

This is one of the reasons why I've restarted some games at least 2 times and still haven't finished them,hehe.

Gamesave manager + dropbox or other cloud server.
You are welcome

Just re-installing Windows won't wipe out your saves. If you formatted your drive during the install it will, but that's your fault. Games put save files either in your "My Documents," the game directory itself or somewhere in your AppData directory. With Steam cloud enabled games, the save files will be in Steam\Userdata directory.

You can re-install Windows without wiping the drive and it will leave your existing files in place. Steam is easy to get back up after a re-install, just browse to the Steam directory and run steam.exe and it takes care of everything. That's the same method you use if your moving the Steam directory to another drive/partition or a new system. I've been using Steam since HL2 came out and moved to three new systems just by coping the Steam directory to the new system and running steam.exe.

If you consider game saves important, you should be backing them up with the rest of your important data so you won't lose them if your drive itself fails.

yes

You knew that when you accepted their TOS.

Technically you don't even own the games in your library, so you don't have the right to re-sell them.

I am pretty sure that the Terms of Service for ANY PC game say that you do not have the capacity to re-sell the game, legally. The reason for this is that it would be easy to sell the disc, but still be playing the game. Which is why you generally do not see any real "used" PC games in game stores.

give us tags

Always popping up and changes to desktop even when I'm on a FullScreen game (non-steam)

You can disable events in settings if you don't like them.

Edit: I'm wrong.

Totally this.

Yeah, I wish people could add a quick message about why they are adding someone and some ability to send messages without adding someone. I'd rather not block people who want to add me because they think I'm a cool person, but without a reason why they are adding me I'd going to err to random beggar and ignore them.

me want! so far i either send em to my troll group ('dont add me bro') or ignore request, or go ahead and add but ask 'y u add' and if they dont say, i delete! mwhahaahah

I think it may also deal with legal/taxation stuff. Certain things would be easier to license in certain areas, reducing the price, or harder and increasing. Then there is the problems with religion and stuff that offends certain groups of an area enough. I imagine there is stuff outside of this that is in the realm of stupidity though.

Solution: stop having friends.

Well I think that if you have friends checking up on your game-time then you have a slightly bigger and more awkward problem to deal with lol

you can group people on the friend list, using tags.

Steam doesn't create pricing schemes. Publishers do that.

+1 to both

No and yes.

regarding VPN: you're not supposed to buy games that aren't on sale in your country anyway, right?

Yeah. Blame Steam...

Indeed, everyone should be up with Australia.

in general, steam chat needs more IM features
