Eyes on FF Steam Community

[Yamaneko]

Some of you may recall Valve a couple months ago announcing their Steam Community platform for Steam that would make it easier to connect and play with other Steam users; join clans (groups) and see what all your friends are doing, even within games. Well today the beta was released to the public and its pretty freaking awesome.

If you haven't yet done so, open up Steam and go into Settings and under Account go to where it says, "Beta participation" and select "Steam Community" from the drop down menu. Once Steam restarts and downloads the files you'll notice a new "Community" tab at the top as well as a new Friends icon at the bottom. I won't detail how to go through every option (it's pretty self-explanatory), but if you find yourself lost the Steam forums are a good place to start.





Eyes on FF Steam Community

With Steam open (it might work with it not open), click "Join this group" on the left hand side of the page. It might take a minute or more to join the group and for your profile to appear on the group's page. Have fun and look around!

It might also be a good idea to make a note here if your SteamID is different from your forums' username.

Huh. For a second I thought you were just screwing with me to take advantage of my id fandom.

I have to say I'm surprised they put their games up on their rival's distribution service! Intriguing...

Now if only Steam and related products ran well in Linux...

Correction: Steam is an online game distribution and multiplayer hosting service. It's not just FPS's, as you can buy games from a number of companies (both large and small, Valve is obviously one, but there's also Activision, id, and some others as well).

It makes sense for id to go on their. You can look at it as putting their games on a rivals service, or you can look at it as taking advantage of a very successful and lucrative service that is well established and will get your games to more people. It's a relationship that benefits all parties involved really.

I seem to be having trouble getting it to join though, so I'll try again later as I have to go to school shortly.

EDIT: Scratch that, I managed to join now.

I will join when I get home. My user id will probably be the same as my user name here. I have not played anything steam in quite sometime. I never really got into counter strike and the like. Last thing I played was Half-Life 2 episode 1.
