    @DrDronezChannel @TheAstroPub @Steam Steam have a BIG problem with shoving useless web2.0/social/analytics features down our throats. I hate using their store now. I can't imagine any streaming service of theirs not being utterly obnoxious.

    @Whirblewind @Steam The publisher is based in China. They would be in far worse trouble if they didn't bend a knee. They don't have a choice in the matter.

    @ACorpseNZ @TheAstroPub @Steam Haven't really noticed it as a problem. But all I'm saying is they have the infrastructure, they have a way to allow content to be discoverable, and they have live streaming. All they have to do is connect the dots.
