[QUOTE="Shadowfied, post: 8413946, member: 357429"] What does this statement even mean? Of course we don't use them. We don't want them. Having one client and storefront to manage and go to is what most of us want. Steam provides way more features than any of these half assed hack fuck clients. >They haven't really done anything to improve Holy shit this is a fucking disrespectful statement to everyone who works on Steam. Let's just see of the top of my head what they've done since I started using the fucking thing since 2003 when I was still on dial up.. - Cloud saving for free for users (not sure if devs have to pay for this, still, free for users) - Community features and forums for users to discuss each game, and developers to manage it and post news to it - Community guides written by users - Built in mod support with Steam Workshop that any game can implement - Customizable profiles - more so than any competition as far as I know - Letting devs provide beta versions for games, even password protected ones - Ability to stream games to other computers in your home (I think there's an Android client too) - Ability to stream for your friends, and let friends request to watch you play - Actual user reviews on game pages. People can actually write their thoughts on games to be displayed on the games page. You hear that M$, $ony and Ninty? - Their controller initiative, letting basically any DInput device be properly used and remapped for any game - Proton - getting basically every game on Steam playable on Linux in order to push for perhaps the biggest change in PC gaming, a stop to Microsofts strangehold with DirectX, and it's open source - Investing money in letting employees contribute to open source projects such as Proton and more That's just of the top of my head. Now I don't know what you consider "improving" but holy fuck, I am impressed with Steam. I've never seen any proprietary software with such a focus on community. Sure, their customer support is ass, but at the same time, it's not like Origin where you actually need their support. In my 15 years of using the service, I've needed their support once, and that was to refund a game, which was solved in under an hour. [/QUOTE]
