> allow you to isolate your Home folder

I hope it will finally allow users on SteamOS have separate game/achievement progress even if the game saves it to $HOME instead of e.g. steam cloud. Also good for the sake of keeping $HOME tidy, although that I've already accomplished by other means (`HOME=~/saves steam`).

Soon enough, 90%+ of AAA games will be released for Linux (running on cloud servers). ;-)

Quoting: fagnerlnTo be fair, it's really strange the usage of the market to buy keys, it's cheaper in game, and I don't get why someone will buy a key to resell it a few more cents as steam have some % (30%?) on it.

Money laundering? Say you owe someone $100 and you'd like the payment to be unregistered. You buy xx keys (or some other virtual items) and give it to them ('trade' with nothing in return), then they sell it on the market. Of course they can't withdraw money from the steam balance but there are other ways, I've repeatedly seen people offering to buy you a game with their wallet money for 80-90% of the current price paid to paypal etc. I thought they were just looking to withdraw the money made on trading cards, but who knows really.

Also, don't know about cs:go, but tf2 keys are a common 'currency' in game trading. For example game X costs 1 tf2 key etc. Some steam forums are full of that.

Quoting: Guesti always use the low bandwidth mode and the low performance mode, and also hardware acceleration disabled, those 3 options are the ones that causes most problems.

I had the freezing problems from the start and did exactly that. No further problems since then.

That's good news but I hope it doesn't mean price increase or lower discounts. I wanted to buy a copy for my son, because he can't play competitive with a family-shared account (although that's arguably a good thing), but the GOTY version didn't go on sale on the last occasion. So it's for the better I guess.

Well it was pretty cheap to begin with. I actually bought it long ago, maybe it's time to play it...

Quoting: TermyLets hope they roll it out for Linux, too and not leave us out like with streaming ^^

Streaming has always worked fine on Linux. Maybe you mean broadcasting?

What I'm more interested in is: will it stay playable through steam and on Linux.

The home button will be missed. Also the "Linux filter" is useless for those who have SteamPlay enabled for all titles. I wish it could at least be configured to only show native titles.

Quoting: TheSyldatDude can you not please ...

Or more precisely , "if you wanna be taken seriously could be please take off the fuckin' tin foil hat for at the very fucking least enough time to let you type a coherent message ?"

I was just removing that part the moment you were quoting it. ;-)
