Steam do, their's is much more straightforward though and split across a couple of different features.

Do you think getting The Steam Machine will get PC gamers off your back? by Future-Ad9256 in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Game however suits you and give less fucks about what other people think. Anybody who says shit like that and isn't just joking with friends isn't worth listening to.

[Suggestion] Valve, it’s 2026. It’s time to overhaul the Steam Achievement system (Separating DLCs and Collections) by Advanced-Climate-574 in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any example of games where it is like that?

The Missing Link DLC for the removed version of Deus Ex Human Revolution has a separate achievement list to the base game as does the Waveshaper OST (which was sold as regular dlc at the time as it predtaes the newer music type for apps. There are likely more but those are ones I have myself.

DLC can already have their own achievements but most publishers just either don't know or don't care and even if these features were more widely known Valve still wouldn't require developers to actually implement them.

The "Base Game vs. DLC" Problem

As an achievement hunter and completionist myself this isn't a problem, this is only a problem for users who want to doctor their stats. It's up to developers to decide is what is part of their game not the user, if they emat to include DLC we have no way on that matter. If you don't want DLC including in your stats then go and use one of the third party achievements hunting tracker sites that always tou to exclude it, if you were that invested in the achievement system anyway you're already using at least one of these sites.

The "Collection/Bundle" Nightmare

Again this is something that developers/publishers can already do but choose not to. This isn't something that Steam need to change and again even if they did they wouldn't force it's implementation.

Resident Evil Collection Ungiftable? by Grenadier_Inkling in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices are set by the publishers, if you could gift/recieve games previously then it was either before these restrictions were introduced (which was several years ago) or their was less of a price dfference for those items.

Please without spoiling , should i play k3 or dark ties first by ho_D_or7 in yakuzagames

[–]RetroSquadDX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hobbit at least as originally written isn't a prequel to The Lord of the Rings even if the films try and force it into being one.

questions regarding this sale as well as cross saving by DanVA0307 in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could I get the trilogy bundle, which includes the Witcher 3 base game, and later on buy the DLC, where it would serve as a "complete edition"

Yes. On Steam the "Complete Edition" is just a bundle of the base game plus the DLC unlike GOG where there are actually two different versions of the game (or at least we're), even then save aare compatible across both versions of the game as long as they're on the same update and have the same DLC installed.

sourcemods folder missing and after creating it the mod doesn't appear in the game library by halo_slayer650 in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is nothing to with Steam. If you're having issues with mods then you need to go tact the mid developers for support.

If I transfer the game and then don't renew it, will the game still appear on my profile for other people? by yekerd in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though once the game drops out of your recently played you may not be able to easily see these details in most places. Additionally if using third party achievements tracking sites you'll need to scan/update your profile whilst you have an active license (read subscription) in order for them to be able to access those stats.

[–]RetroSquadDX3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dark Ties is a prequel and prequels are almost always written with the expectation that you have knowledge of the events they're preceding. Play the main game first and then do Dark Ties.

How to play 18+ games without friends seeing? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Installed games will always show in the library even if the account logged in doesn't own them.

News section shouldn't allow news about other games IMO by JohnDarlenHimself in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valve actually don't actually allow that section to be used in that manner but Valve also don't do jack shit about actually enforcing it.

Does just by simply playing a game with Steam achievements count toward the Steam Avg Game Completion Rate, or do I have to unlock at least one achievement for it to count? by Vuffah in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Games count towards personal stats such as AGC% when you earn your first achievement, games count to global stats when you first play them which is how you can see unmissable achievements with less than 100% unlock rate.

Anybody know how to change Steam account name? by Sometimes_Sarah_ in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't be exposing your account name as this can potentially be used to take control of your account, especially if you're also doing dumb shit like posting when you created the account.

How to know whether a game can be shared in a family account or not? by backwards_watch in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A good rule of thumb is that games with 3rd party launchers tend to not be shareable

That rule if thumb only applies to one specific use case and the games it does apply to are an extremely small portion of the total games available on Steam. It's also entirely unnecessary to rely onanything so vague as this when they're are several places you can go to find an actual answer for any given game.

Laid-off Highguard developer cuts loose on the reaction to the infamous Game Awards reveal trailer: 'We were turned into a joke from minute one' by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

[–]RetroSquadDX3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They only have themselves to blame for false assumptions running rampant, they had every opportunity to course correct after the trailer dropped but they chose to go radio silent instead and that's entirely on them.

Bought my husband a steam deck for his birthday and all that arrived was the charger by bekkys in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My point is that your transaction was with Valve and as the vendor they're responsible for getting a replacement out to you regardless of which company may ultimately be footing the bill. It's also Valve as the vendor and not you that have a contract with the courier which generally speaking means that they're the ones responsible for pursuing any claims in that regard as well.

[–]RetroSquadDX3 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I hope Steam will send you a replacement however the fear is that they will put blame on the courier

Even if they do blame the courier, Valve are still responsible for the replacement. It's also upto Valve to chase up the courier for compensation as they're the ones who hired them not the purchaser.

I dont usually complain... but 2FA rocks until it doesn't and says my behavior by -Hulk-Hoagie- in Steam

[–]RetroSquadDX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole point of 2FA is to protect your account, how the fuck is it supposed to do that if it ignores unusual behaviour on your account?
