Is this really what most people want? I don’t even know what social features steam has. I just want a functional storefront that doesn’t fight me at every step. I stopped grabbing the free games on windows because the constant capchas were horrible. I’m on linux now, and it’s a little better using herioc but I still don’t even bother to look as there’s issues there too, mainly the store doesn’t scale and I’m on my TV at 200% so the store text is really tiny.
I think it’s a huge aspect. Reviews, guides, discussions, bug reports all falls under the “social” category.
E: oh and a friend’s list where you can quickly join up via “game invites”, and game leaderboards which have friend rankings… Steam workshop… Those are also big social features
The users have been telling them exactly what they want from the store (social features) from day ONE. Yet, here we are.
