Yeah... I don't think I'm going to use that thread, the last thing we need is even more segregation.

Another take on the grass simulator giveaway. They finally contacted carlmundo it seems and are distributing them now via Who's Gaming Now. So you need to be a member of the group to get a key:

it just seems like it's the thread equivalent of poking a hornet's nest. I'm perfectly ok with this thread being in community. it's helped to thin out the trolls and the drive by posts that were becoming more and more common in the last few months over at Gaming.
plus, now we don't live in fear of sometimes going a bit off topic, which means we don't have to worry about somewhat NSFW animu VN screenshots and waifu battles getting us demoted again. Not that i condone that stuff, but at least you can't get any demoted any further than community for it.

Good luck. I really hope people don't shit up the first 4 pages.

I still think we should just stay in community, and whenever there's a sale, have it in gaming. Isn't the Black Friday Steam sale coming up?

i say it like someone who has accepted his lot in life. why fight the inevitable? in the end, there are still really good posters here who stay on topic and contribute to the overall discussion. After seeing how wild some of the other threads get on gaf, quibbling about the 2 or 3 things that are off about this thread seems almost like whining a bit. That's just how i feel about it.

And what about general Valve news? Game, engine, whatever related? They stay here?

I think the best way to help the new thread is jsut by posting steam news at first, for example any new games released, daily discounts on games, steam updates and anything else that is concentrated around Steam that will help us build, its gonna be tricky but if we can do that for a month or two it gives it a fighting chance of survival.

I agree, I think most people are over the whole community switch, but it's not like were not going to talk about the sales in this thread anyway, so another one in gaming is kind of redundant no?

Can someone invite me to that group?
Good question, usually Valve news gets its own thread, I would give it a pass personally but just post it in here for now and we'll see the general opinion for this.

Are you able to invite people to the group? If so, can you invite me pretty please?
It seems the admins locked the group after the game got greenlit. Asking some other people right now if they can invite people somehow. I guess not. :/

Yeah. The 30FPS lock on Hyper Light Drifter makes the scrolling effect of it's environments make me want to through up. But the demo was so good I just suffered through it.

When is MGS:GZ suppose to come out? I'm itching for some Metal Gear action for a while.

Hah, fair enough. From what I saw and read, Rogue seems to be a solid if not necessarily refreshing entry. But hey, that's what AssCreed fans like about the series imo. Consistency.I'm that impatient
Plus this should see me through until Ubisoft stop being dicks and put Unity on the UK Steam storefront. Not that I'm going to pick it up before it's had a patch or 5.
Good luck orange. I hope that thread keeps news only ad doesn't get modbotted. There are more posters than I thought who seek a news/deals-only thread. Could be useful for them.
The Steam thread moves a lot quicker during sales, and we get a lot more traffic during that period too. To have something on the Gaming tab when interest is highest makes sense. And if people want to talk about Steam things in general, having this thread in community, it being a little more slow moving, is more conducive to discussion.
During sales, this thread becomes a giveaway fest.

Sometimes, yes.
So game impressions will still go in this thread for future reference, right?

This is probably very wrong, but if anyone is in that group and can invite me I'd be grateful.

Hm, so it is cool to just post dailies every day I assume.

TYPO HERE:
most likely yes. I'll try and get more feedback and read through the thread at the weekend on how the thread is going and sort what should be in what thread, but most likely reviews might be placed in community for now.

So, uh, will sales threads like Winter Sale, for example, still get made in Gaming or what?
Yes, if Salsashark can put down his 3DS.

I liked the idea of posting linkbacks to the full reviews here, but seeing as it's called 'Steam News' the scope seems focused on just Steam specific things, which is fair enough seeing as it's a trial thread. Was hoping it might have been a 'TL;DR' version of SteamGAF community.
where is salsa anyway?

Alright, made my first post then
Hopefully the format is acceptable?! Images are more faster to convey info after all.

His 3DS web browser hasn't been able to connect to neogaf.

images should be fine, here is the guidelines:
if the images are quite big (needing to scroll)) then I would highly recommend making them quoated.

I also got contacted outside of this thread, but I'm saying it here again. There doesn't seem to be any way to invite people anymore. Admins might have locked the group after being greenlit to prevent these things to happen.
Kurt Russell

Makes sense. Thanks for the info!
The worst part is that I voted for that thing, but never found out that I had to join their group as well.

Hopefully it'll do good. At some point we could maybe start collecting detailed impressions and posting them in the other thread, like that wiki idea a few people had following the summer sale, but I agree that it should come later.
Yeah, I can definitely see that being helpful in case someone wants impressions of games. It would make them easier to find for some.
