I dunno, a lot of those simulators seem like really bad investments...

Will fittingly wait for a 75%-off sale, or its inevitable arrival in a bundle (unless NeoGAF Gold is thrown in as a pre-order bonus).
Will be sorely tempted to collect the extensive set of Saoirse trading cards and the JaseC avatar Steam badge collection, however.

Well, the market exists. I'm waiting for one entrepreneurial user to put this on Kickstarter/IndieGoGo/Greenlight.

Holy mother of what the fuck is wrong with you BAMCO? Why do you guys insist on releasing such extra limited Demos for your games? Jesus! >:-@
And to make things worse, you only allow people to play the hardest Championship mode of Pac-Man DX+ on the lowest speed! Are you out of your mind? People won't buy your games if you keep following this shitty pattern. You make us download the entire Museum's Demo yet we only have access to one of the games.
God-damn. /rant

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Well guys, it's been two weeks since Enhanced Steam 5.9 was sent to Mozilla for review. Today - rejected. Once again, the file was rejected for reasons that are not new to this version of Enhanced Steam.
Firefox also completely disabled Session Storage access in extensions starting with Firefox 29, meaning significant portions of the code will need to be re-written to make a lot of the features work with that version and higher.
Re-writing these functions (in addition to taking a lot of time) will also introduce a lot of new reasons that Mozilla could potentially reject the code.
Meanwhile, I've had about 500 emails from Opera 12 users who are upset that Enhanced Steam no longer works (due to a change Valve made, not me).
In light of all of this, I am seriously considering making Enhanced Steam exclusive to Google Chrome.

As a firefox user I would access Steam on Chrome just for enhanced steam and I think others would do the same.
To be honest: About time. Firefox is the only decent alternative to Chrome, and I still don't see why people would use that, other than hating Google.
that's not a bad reason

I use both Firefox and Chrome, but Firefox is my primary browser. That being said, I use the Chrome version of Enhanced Steam for the extra features. Do what you gotta do.
You should see the "demo" they released for Ridge Racer vita.

Even if you hate Google, you can still install the open source Chromium browser and still install Enhanced Steam from the Chrome web store (or if you really hate Google, compiling the extension yourself from source)
I guess I should re-phrase and say that the source code would still be available for other browsers and open for other developers to continue to maintain, but I would only actively work on new features for the Chrome version of the plugin.

You wouldn't be the first to give Firefox the bird, and you certainly won't be the last.
Chop off that dead weight man. You should be able to concentrate on the latest and greatest and not dancing around horseshit only to get denied and have to meet even more close calls with brick walls by the time you fix what failed you in the first place.

I don't blame you, but honestly I'm already tired of having multiple browsers.
They're great features, but I guess I can wait for it to come back again one day potentially.
I know how much of a pain it is to code and introducing new bugs in fixing old ones.
That being said, please consider going back to it one day or releasing the code for someone else to work on it for the other platforms.

Im okay with this. I only use Chrome. I used FireFox tons before, but after trying out Chrome FireFox felt like a shit browser.
I mean I personally have firefox, opera and chrome all installed on my pc since I had to do a lot of html5 testing and shit so I don't really mind but some people don't like chrome, how it looks, being tied to google, etc. or like firefox or opera or netscape or whatever, so just saying
I've mostly given up on life and created my google plus account so I can mock people on youtube comments so you know, whatever

Yeah, that's the plan exactly. In fact, the source code for Firefox is already on Github.
My problem is that I'm currently the only person making updates to the Firefox code, while also trying to juggle everything else.
Good luck.ModBot said:Instructions for participants:

As someone who's only used Chrome for a couple years now, sounds good to me!

Makes sense to me. I wouldn't have a lot of patience dealing with people emailing me "upset" over a plugin or feature that I don't charge for.
While it would be a great shame to lose Enhanced Steam for those browsers, I fully understand with all that frustration. Even with Opera 12's issues due to Steam changes, it was still kind of you to support it as long as you have.
If the issues with Opera 20 continue, I have no problem using Chrome simply for Enhanced Steam since I have to keep it around for website testing and HTML 5 work anyroad.
With Opera 12 I have numerous features such as IRC, Chat, RSS, Email client, download manager, easy website examiner and debug tool built in Opera Dragonfly , session manager for multiple different sessions I can title as I see fit, sessions that can automatically remember placement on a page where I last left it, block content simply through right click menu, customisable hotkeys, Opera Link for easy syncing between desktop and mobile, customisable mouse gestures, customisable skins, customisable button placements, able to have over a 100 tabs open without worry, no fears of a massive memory leak, fully customisable speed dial, customisable font, automatic script support (Youtube has black background, automatically HD etc with just a few lines), and far more without needing to add anything on or getting an extension.
I don't like having to add on so much just to make a browser halfway usable for me and that's exactly what it takes with Chrome and Firefox and that's not even getting into my problems with how they at points have memory and RAM issues on my devices. I really don't like how much effort it takes just for me to set up hotkeys (if offered at all, Firefox keeps losing that for me with each update and Add-ons change) and other standard uses I have for browsers. Aye I realise I'm not a normal browser user and if I just did a few tabs at a time and only browsed or checked email and Facebook/Twitter it would be different, but I'm not and so Chrome and Firefox are not a viable alternative to Opera to me.
Opera 20 may be less than Opera 12 in my needs, but at least I can get it closer with only six extensions, Chrome and Firefox need far more.
Either that or I hate Google and Mozilla, so much, with ever fibre of the tweed jacket I don't own

Wow man, I just found it. The "Demo" for that game is actually a trailer. LOL! They're big trolls apparently.
You just know there is someone high up at that company that has really wrong-headed ideas about demos.
