Valve would have to have people constantly working to weed out the troll walkthroughs and completely unrelated stuff.
This isn't really the most needed feature in the world. Kind of useless really. Who even needs guides for games nowadays?
If you play games like Civilizations, Galactic Civilizations, AI War and other more complex games, guides can be really helpful. Sometimes it's hard to get into certain games due to the lack of explanations or tutorials.

Looking at all the videos that Valve uploaded on their YouTube channel on CS:GO, it's a likelihood those videos will appear in the game guides for that game.

Well, someone will give false information for newbies anyway.
They should just save the time and money and just link to each game's already established wiki. falloutwiki.com, UESP.net, etc.

[QUOTE=megafat;38828636]Valve would have to have people constantly working to weed out the troll walkthroughs and completely unrelated stuff.[/QUOTE] Just go for high rated guides. Users will monitor the content more than Valve will most likely.
This sounds like a decent idea to me, there's a lot of newbie in a lot of games that want quick and easily accessible guides for said games, and making that available in the platform too, will surely make their life easier, most of the time they can't google for shit :v: [QUOTE=Badunkadunk;38830929]I was gonna write a few guides but I didn't want my friends to laugh at me for writing nerdy in-depth guides to heroes.[/QUOTE] Scared at friends laughing at you for that, still in high school I presume?
I'd imagine a few guides could help out Planetside 2 newbies.
Dark Souls guides are also quite useful
