The final part of Valve’s slowburn reveal for the new Steam Community Update is all about Friends. You know what they say about friends - it’s best to keep them locked in one place where you can keep an eye on them. That’s presumably why Valve have invented a new tab, under which to perform all sorts of social networking guff.
Steam’s Community tab is on the cusp of a major overhaul, and new features and rearrangements are being detailed one-by-one, day-by-day throughout this week. It’s a little like watching the Generation Game’s prize conveyor belt on its slowest setting - Tuesday saw a juicy fact or two on individual Game Hubs, Wednesday was for discussion board-focused changes to the Group system, and tonight is something Valve are calling My Content Updates, although I’d have gone with My Childhood Bedroom.
Valve are rolling out details on the redesign coming to Steam Community all this week, like a kind of grey, fact-filled Bayeux tapestry. With today comes news of the changes scheduled for the Group system.
