steampowered is a classic name though
If emotes are limited to just steam market ones like I expect, the chat will be a lot more limited than Twitch. Twitch has a lot of free emotes as well as subscriber emotes (which encourage donations) and already established extensions ffz and bttv
Looks like it's still baked into the steam community, which means this is totally a thing. Didn't read the cnet article, just was going off what xpaw/steamdb talked about on twitter, and my own access from my mobile's web browser. Checked out the Valvenewsnetwork video, which credits cnet. While a similar image is used on the kotaku article, it wasn't really obvious that this is integrated into new steam web chat https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/1755/4476d123-39b4-4705-a2f0-b595c9cb934c/image.png Obviously not going to know a lot until later. But when valve formally anounce the platform. We should have a good idea on where they are trying to put themselves in the market
I don't think youtube have failed at all, they aren't as gaming focused as twitch used to be, and no matter how much work twitch does to take their focus away from just being a game streaming platform. The freedom that youtube has allowed in regards to content you can stream without getting a ban gives it a benefit, alongside it being the platform pretty much everyone uses to watch videos on. Mixer? yeah nah yeah, Xbox streaming site
Twitch Support is probably worse than non existent. I know plenty of people personally who open a ticket wait 6 months and then have it closed. Reminds me of my time at machinima.
Mixer or Elgato's?
That hurts
uwu
lol, got updated for five years https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/1755/858d33ca-4b7c-43a5-abc0-14e6d5e49b77/image.png
Is it possible that it's someone who is purposely holding on to the domain hoping Valve will eventually often a sum of money in exchange for rights to the domain?
He's obviously parking it. The domain for my companiesname is like "MyCompanyName.com" and some guy owns it, so we use "MyCompanyNameDigital.com". He's been parking it until our company gets big enough so he can charge us a large fee for it. Rumor is this year he's ready to deal
I wonder if this is the reason they haven't bothered to fix that bug with Steam Broadcast where you get a message that says the stream has been changed to "Best Performance", even thought it was set to that to begin with.
ICANN lets you file a trademark claim (if the steam com owner no longer has any valid trademarks, valve would win) and get a domain forcefully transferred to the rightful owner. parking vs major companies is never a win if the company wants to pursue it.
Well the guy who parked ours technically owns a company with a similar name but its inactive and the website simply says "under construction"
