I use the voice chat a little bit, but you are right that it works well enough and I can stream my games. The only pain point would be for people that don't use steam for whatever reason. Discord offers the web interface which is useful when video chatting with non gamers. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 months ago* I said this like 2 years ago and people called me an idiot, but I'm glad more people are seeing this now. Steam has all the infrastructure to be a social network platform the same way Discord or Facebook is, it has most of the distinct components already present, they're just clunky, not as well integrated as they could be, UI still has a lot of legacy stuff that'd need to be refactored. It would just need an overhaul... and of course, Valve actually deciding they want to deal with all the insane bullshit that comes with trying to run a social network explicitly as a social network. permalink fedilink source parent
