But everyone tells me that Steam is perfect.

Bodge3429d ago

Issue was fixed within an hour. Would takes weeks for those lesser machines.

snoopgg3428d ago (Edited 3428d ago )

They did a good job at getting the problem solved quickly.

Bladesfist3429d ago

Steam is in no way perfect, but it is the best gaming network out there. It has by far the most features and does not cost a thing.

SniperControl3429d ago

Totally agree, i love Steam, i currently have 143 games on there dating back to 2004 and have never accounted more than a handful of problems since, can the same be said for other services?

Bladesfist3428d ago

@SniperControl

436 games here with just under 300 installed and ready to play at the press of a button.

I was talking features like.

Gifting games
Steam Inventory
Steam Workshop
Steam Broadcasting
Steam Chat (voice and text)
Steam Cloud saves
Steam Family Sharing
Steam Screenshots
Steam Community

It does a whole lot of what the other platforms do but better as well as having things only it does and all for free.

mixelon3428d ago

485 here.. Somehow. And I have everything always installed XD

I love the gifting/inventory system so much.

Hmm, is there an N4G Steam community? There probably should be?

@Bladesfist

Indeed Steam is a top not gaming network. I've been using it since 2008 and everything is superb except for one thing...

That is customer support. They fail in this department so bad that it's embarrassing. No call line. No live chat. Only support tickets (private forum posts for help) that take at least 2-3 days for an answer that you may or may not get.

That needs to change asap

@ Blade & Mixelon

Wow, that is alot of games.

For i am just a padawan in thy shadow...

I have a second lower spec PC setup with just a 150Gb HDD, i love the streaming of Steam, no need to install games on the second PC.

blockcoc3428d ago

@Stiffler Try asking for Gaben next time.

It may be perfect but anything is hackable :D

maniacmayhem3428d ago

Exactly how many articles have you seen posted on N4G in the last two years of Steam being hacked or for that matter down?

Compare those to Xbox Live and PSN.

slappy5083428d ago

Was fixed within an hour. Not bad for a free service.

dcj05243428d ago

It is lol. They fixed it in an hour. Sony would have psn down all day

" this time Steam users are the ones who are targeted by hackers who found a way to control your account after you visit a suspicious profile page."

That's not how XSS works...

--bienio--3428d ago (Edited 3428d ago )

I was sceptical about steam and digital games, but Now my all library cant exist without steam. So yes I would say Steam its far better then others clients (Xbox live, Psn) plus its free:) can't wait for November to grab steam link and play Mortal Kombat X in my living room with my friends:) cool things coming for Pc community:)
ps. I know we can do this Now but still its good thing for players to have more options...

Two-Face3428d ago

I can't imagine living without Steam, it has become a huge part of my life. I use it for gaming, chatting with friends, debating on various forums, and more.

I have had Steam for 8 years, and have around 500 games, and never have I thought of switching gaming platform for those 8 years. There has not been any majoy downtime or problems for me, and the gaming deals are the best thing about it.

still can't order the adapter and we are less than 2 weeks away from August 7th.

It's bring more needed games to the PC ecosystem. It looks like PC only has 1 VR game.

porkChop4h ago

What are you talking about? Most VR games are only available through PCVR.

anast4h ago

They can't be that good if the only game they show is Alyx.

porkChop1h ago

JFC you're uneducated. It's just a promo image. Are they supposed to release thousands of promos for every VR game on Steam? Why don't you just go to the Steam store and take a look at the VR games? You can even mod non-VR games on PC like GTA V or Cyberpunk 2077 to make them fully playable in VR.

I wish this would happen more often, there are a lot of Steam games I would buy limited physical editions for if they existed.

Valve Might Be Working On Adding An Android Emulator In Steam

As per the latest discoveries by a popular SteamVR dataminer, Valve is rumored to be working on adding an Android emulator in Steam.

Chocoburger20d ago

Interesting, I currently using Bluestacks on my PC, it works okay, but not all games are compatible, and some work but with glitches, so it would be nice to have an alternative option.

FinalFantasyFanatic19d ago

I've had more or less the same experience with Bluestacks, so having a Steam equivalent, which may work similar or better (or even if it plays some stuff better than Bluestacks) would be wonderful.
