Quoting: trawz[Woops! I don't see it though? I remember it being there before now that you've said it but it doesn't seem to appear on mobile.
Not sure how people miss it, the text is in bold before you get to the comments section...and yes on mobile too in exactly the same place.

Quoting: fagnerlnIt's funny that Proton slowed a little their releases, there's a lot of newer version of wine, dxvk and d9vk
Slow and steady may well win the race, it's better Valve/CodeWeavers carefully review the new versions before just pushing them out though. Let them all get more testing in the wild, then pull them in when ready.

That's it, done, finished. The beta is over and the new Steam Library along with Remote Play Together is now out for everyone as soon as your client updates.
Maybe I'm misreading all of this, but isn't Play Together still on beta?

Quoting: LosButchTheir steam page says "6-12 hours of extra gameplay" so perhaps your text is a bit outdated?
Typical, publisher's press info not matching up with what the developer said on their own store page <_< - edited.

Quoting: PikoloBy local multiplayer you mean LAN multiplayer and not split screen multiplayer, right?
Any game that has local co-op/multiplayer be it shared screen or split screen is what Remote Play Together targets. The whole point is to bring online support to local-only games.

Valve ends Counter-Strike: Global Offensive container key trading and selling

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.
As I understand it's due to regions and pricing, with some able to get them on the market cheaper in USD than their native currency directly in CS:GO. Something like that anyway.

Not to be mixed up with Bloodlines 2 which is not coming to Linux
Oh, was that confirmed to be the case? Disappointing.

Though not the same, this game does look pretty interesting and I'll keep an eye on it.
Well the only even small hint we had was a bit on SteamDB we covered here, which checking back in it today it seems they went back and changed [External Link] it only to Windows.

Quoting: TheSHEEEP“layers can no longer avoid damage with an invalid player name”?
How did that even work?
*shrugs* I guess a parsing bug somewhere with names that then blocked damage calculation...
