Valve / Steam / Steam Machines, General Discussion v2.0- "Is Steam Down again?"

[arlygoodbrownie]

[QUOTE=Reagy;49187044]You know who it does really suck for? People with Windows Phones.
Like me. Because you know.
Valve is so unorganised they can't even make a mobile app that is cross platform.
Both the iOS and Android APPs are completely different, they ain't even developed from the same base then compiled off, instead they are both writen natively, and because of this, both lack features that the others have.

Quality.[/QUOTE]

Beat me to it.

I'll play your game, Valve. I'll do it. But you've put up a lock that has to do with a completely unrelated product. Because I don't have a certain product, you're punishing me for it.

Fuck that.

[I]And now they're getting discounts for it[/I]

Valve, what the fuck is this? Don't segregate your consumers like this.

[chenhonkster]

the "discount" is also 33% on 3 cent items so you get a 3 cent item for 2. Goes down from that.

[testinglol]

why arent people boycotting this? they are pushing down limitations down out throat and people are mostly silent. yet when it comes to paid mods and stuff they instantly flip shit. it is unacceptible how valve is treating all steam users like they are brain dead idiots. they are acting like a mother that puts limitations because she cant trust her children.

[TentuZero]

The "discount" is complete garbage.

What's there to boycott

You can boycot the mods by just not paying for it. What are people going to do, stop trading? Some people get so much out of the trading system, that the pros outweight the cons.

there are so many questions i would like to ask

[SpeedyHeart]

i feel like the new trading thing is going to make people get possibly insecure android emulators which could lead to more account hijackings.

🙋 Why does steam mobile client store group json and group relations/permissions?

Some of these groups I left three years ago

[Metaru]

Day 7 after we suffered the Conversion from USD to CLP(local currency).

Third party has yet to provide actual methods of payment that work locally, or give any kind of info as if there will be any kind of actual support for local payments. or why paypal was disabled at all. what was meant to be a a way to ease the acess to store transactions for us Chilean users has turned into a nightmare.

Autum sales are already here and the only way to actually buy games on steam is through third party stores like humble store/greenman gaming/etc. or to buy prepaid codes, wich is shady as fuck.

on top of that, some games doesnt even have an asigned price. like, at all. you simply can't buy them

what the actual fuck is going on valve. you didn't even check this shit, how on earth is this even allowed.

[QUOTE=testinglol;49187257]why arent people boycotting this? [/QUOTE]There's already at least one petition. It's not changing anything, because a.) lol internet petitions and b.) the Steam Community has enough glue-eaters and generally malicious sods that Valve has to implement stuff that [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/34kx7c/regarding_gifting/]inconveniences everyone (including themselves)[/url] to protect them.

This is one giant joke. Get discount on specific items so you can ruin the Market economy...

[SentientToilet]

[QUOTE=coverop;49191394]This is one giant joke. Get discount on specific items so you can ruin the Market economy...[/QUOTE]

Except it doesn't ruin anything because the seller still gets full price.

[Coverop]

[QUOTE=TheDrunkenOne;49191443]Except it doesn't ruin anything because the seller still gets full price.[/QUOTE]

But It disgusts a consumer. I won't be sitting here saying "That's good." when they stab their own game.
I regret playing CS:GO.

The trade holds thing I can understand complaints about since it slows down legit, non-gambling trade bot services (like there's any of those for CSGO...) dramatically, but the discount?

[Jojje]

Yeah I don't get it either. The discount goes out of Valve's pocket, the seller still gets all the money.

I'm bitching that they clearly intended to have the the app cross platform but took the hard route then dropped it. There isn't anything against making it natively but this is valve we're talking about, where their flat structure promotes a stagnation and appearance of lazyness. If they actually bothered to put an ounce of effort into it they'd have a stable, updated, and consistent mobile app between platforms but instead we've got this patch work mixmash of different app branches. The android app didn't get updated for ages until recently while the iOS app was getting constant updates.

There are times where doing things natively makes sense, when you need more control over the mobile device but honestly, the shit that the steam mobile app does? It doesn't need to be done natively, most of the functionality is all there on the web side, they could have just made it into a wrapper and done the rest using the already existing web functions that steam has, because you know. Steam Desktop does mostly all its shit through a web browser minus the chat, which even still has its own web version.

I'm not shitting on it being native, I'm shitting on it because its half arsed.

want to know how to piss me off as a user

give me a app on my phone that's just a webview with all the logic on a server somewhere

Well it appears Escrow won't be the end of scrap.tf at [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/3uc1va/ive_made_a_c_library_to_easily_enablemanageuse/"]all.[/URL]

[Froggeth]

So now when I start steam it freezes and stops responding constantly, I can only launch games from icons, anything in the program no longer can be selected, everything makes it freeze, this occurs in online and offline mode... I googled the issue but I can't ind much, I've tried my drivers and reinstalling steam, no luck

[Halflight]

Does anyone have some feedback on Beyond Eyes?
It's one of those pretty looking indie games that could be a nasty surprise once purchased

[knoxed]

okay...

I think there are simple tricks allowing you to buy a certain game without the buy button, you should look around, maybe there's a possilibty for you to gain free Steam money.

Also good reminder to never give out your session keys
