Steam is a real value add, enough that I use it for non-steam games.
Not only with proton or the controller db, but save-game sync, multiplayer invites, their server browser, and everything being tied to my login.
Even managing my game library on steam is pleasant! And the social features they have are.. actually pretty useful. Having a friends list of people who I game with is nice, as is the ability to have low friction conversations.
- snailmailman 5y agoAnother huge factor is the built in steam discussion forums. Any problems or questions with the game? There’s a dedicated forum for every game, easy to access. Sure lots of games have their own forum or subreddit, but smaller indie games sometimes don’t. I’ve even gone to the steam discussion forums for games that are on Steam but I own elsewhere.
