Quoting: GuestIt will *never* do its thing because the download times are *always* when my computer is turned off.

Did you actually try this? Because I'd expect a semi clever program to maybe try that once or twice, but then download when it is active. Which would be fine with the goal to not have huge load on the servers when an update for a popular game has been released.

You made me watch the trailer and while I agree the sound effect is hard to stand, now I want the game even more than after playing the demo!

It's not only very good looking, the demo was very demanding with respect to hardware as well...

It's on my wish list since the demo. Looks promising!

Quoting: AciDThe wasted space indeed.
This looks horrible.

Valve could just display the small informations (downloaded, total download size, ETA) below each thumbnails alongside controls like (download / pause, cancel).
That way you could stuff as many game thumbnails close to each other like in the library page.

Those thumbnails could be sorted as above ; active, queued, scheduled, completed.

I never had more than half a dozen games to download, and if I would, I wouldn't care to watch them downloading..

Quoting: MohandevirBut I really have a problem with the .4% marketshare figure considering the wide success of educationnal Chromebooks everywhere... Net Market share might not be looking at the right places, in these cases.

I'm yet to see my first Chromebook here in Germany...
Though I at least did see some public adds here now.
Googling for it, "Nebenrolle" ("supporting actor") was a friendly way to describe its role in my country.

Quoting: MohandevirEdit: We can also conclude that ChromeOS is on the rise, thanks in part, at least, to the pandemic.

I guess so!

Quoting: MohandevirChromebooks overtook Mac in the OS marketshare, it could boost the number of Linux native games support directly, as a consequence.

Netmarketshare noted 0.4% ChromeOS vs. 9.5% MacOS in their last statistics...

I guess we can at least conclude that OS market share measuring is very difficult when OS X ranges from 7.5 to 17 % and Chrome OS ranged from 0.4% to 10% last year...

Quoting: elmapul0)any one trust valve to make an game console again after the steam machines flop? anyone would trust then with your money?

You don't need lots of trust. The difference to those Kickstarter machines would be that you get actual hardware offered and can judge if you want it for the price or not.
