PLEASE IMPROVE THE USABILITY OF STEAM FIRST

My library only has about 100 entries and it's a real pain to manage those. Also it's full of bugs and not responsive enough to user input

"The 40 million gamers frequenting Steam are interested in more than playing games," said Mark Richardson at Valve.
Nope

Good news, everybody!

Hm.. perhaps Valve is actually developing a SteamBox and these programs are just the beginning..

NiceGuyBlair is now playing Windows 7....or what?

gog gifts, anyone?

and this is bad because... ?

I'm actually all for it! having issues with software like adobe products where installing and using across multiple machines becomes difficult. drm, like steam, is nice because I don't need a box or keys to manage, I can just download from my library and I'm ready to go.

so yeah, I'm all for it! but they need better ways of sorting the library first.

If Steam starts selling music and soundtracks I would enjoy it. But movies/software (like Word, MS Paint, etc.) is a no-no.

photoshop steam edition!

WINTER IS COMING

If you dannae want the software or to use the service, then don't? Simple?

While I understand the worry, it's also quite possible you're worrying over nothing.

Kinda like how the radio industry was worried cassettes were going to kill them off. Or cds, for that matter. Its funny how much people freak out over something new.

$5 Summer-Sale Photoshop!

i missed it

Steam Summer Software Sale or S.S.S.S for short!

Only one thing to say:

Cha-Ching

Yea.......I'd prefer they didn't. Obviously it won't (hopefully) affect me negatively, so I'm really not that worried. Though I do feel that Steam SHOULD be a digital distributor for games only.

How are we doomed now? More stuff on Steam, which now isn't exclusively games. So? There will be new games and old games on steam as always, but also some non-game software, which I don't think is actually bad. I mean, looking at the tools tab of my account I already see a couple of mod tools, bonus content from games etc etc.

And this is exactly why Gabe is pissed at Windows 8. He knows it's gonna cut into his profits. Welcome to the world. Gabe doesn't give a shit about you, he cares about your wallet.

It was so fucking annoying trying to argue with some of you on the other thread.

I saw this coming a month ago. In an interview they were trying to get software I think it was photoshop? And they laughed at Valve. Very interesting.

Oh no, a store is selling more products! What ever shall we do?

I'm guessing more products like Source Film Maker?

So, when can we start gifting copies of Norton Antivirus?
