Yeah you have to go to the store page to see, which is what I do these days. Knowing what friends own what is an important part of the community though and it should probably have its own tabbed with better summed up info. Plus, having to visit each game's page means I have to know in advance really which game I sort of want to play, which isn't always the case, hehe.

Having its own tab would probably take just as many clicks, you can also see what games your friends are/have been playing in your profile :p
 
CFC GROUP MOST POPULAR GAMES TAB:

Civ 5: 300 people
Currently playing: Played recently:

Team Fortress 2: 100 people have it
Currently playing: Played recently:

Game XYZ: 50 people have it
Currently playing: Played recently:

etc.

Would be great. We already have something similar with the friends list. In fact having it per group would probably help finding new friends within group.
 
Do we even have 300 members?
 
Nobody hangs out in the chatroom I see :(

I don't bother because no one ever uses it. And no one uses it because no one uses it. Its a vicious cycle.

It also doesn't flash the window or show a message when anyone posts in it either (and I turned chat sounds off because they were annoying) which can lead to conversations getting easily ignored (One time Kan and Captain2 do an entire scene from something before I even noticed we were in a group chat).
 
Just so you'll know, kill fire changed his name to "Gein" a while ago, you might want to update that.

Also, since TF2 is free now, I have a seperate account from that, currently named "LOLWUTERMELON" and downloaded TF2 so that we can both play at the same time, but haven't gotten anything else, since we don't particularly feel like paying for the same game twice. So for just about anything else, we'll still be using the same account, although he uses it way more than I do anyway. I might download something like Portal 2 onto mine that I'm probably going to use more than he does, but not very much.
 
Valve is finally improving the download system for steam, slowly.
Over the years, Steam has delivered a lot of bits to a lot of people. Delivering content is really at the core of Steam, and we have been working on improving that core. As of today, you can download some of the content on Steam using all-new server and client code to get the job done.

The new content system is designed to do two things: deliver better download rates in more places around the world, and also to simply streamline the publishing process on Steam, ultimately making it possible to ship more games than we would have been able to with the old system.

The maximum aggregate bandwidth of the system will be greater than the current system; this will help us satisfy spikes in demand when there’s a big release. We will also be able to send content from more places, to better serve people all around the globe. All the content on the new system is sent via HTTP; this is more firewall-friendly than the current system, and will automatically take advantage of web-caching proxies installed at ISPs.

Another way that the new content system improves the bandwidth picture is by requiring each user to download less data. With the Steam content system that’s been in place for a few years now, if an individual file on disk were modified by a game update, your client had to download the whole file. That can be painful when the file in question is really large. The new system supports delivering only the differences between the old and new files, meaning game updates will be much smaller overall.

These changes have given us an opportunity to write new tools for game developers and content publishers that simplify the process of both publishing and updating a game on Steam. Simplifying the publishing process means it takes the partner and us less time to ship each product, so we can ship more stuff to more users.

In addition, the new content system will allow us to build several new features that we’ve often heard requested. Upcoming client releases will include things like download scheduling, bandwidth throttling, and prioritizing which games get downloaded first. You’ll also be able to download an update to a game while you’re playing that game; Steam will apply the update after you exit the game.

Over time, more and more of the content on Steam will be delivered using this new system. Soon, Dota 2 will be delivered using it. In the meantime, if you’d like to try out this new content system you can do so right now; if you download a 1280x720 (HD) trailer from the store, it will happen via the new content system. Give it a try!

Yeah I saw that too. Several days during the sale I got the "steam servers are too busy now" notice. Understandable given the sale and how rapidly games would climb to be #1, just for being 75% off. Good business move though. I'm sure they might have had to deal with some new irate customers finding that they couldn't download their games immediately.
 
Is Steam down or something? It's taking forever to sign in! :mad:

NM: Seems to be the network is borking again.
