Because making a server list of games being hosted was so hard, right? Ridiculous. Hope it gets simplified for the 1.0 or before. Thanks you anyway

[tom_mai78101]

They never said they will be doing a server list, but I don't know at this point. If the community really wants it, they really have to keep requesting that feature on their official forums and here on Steam.

I'm not sure that's a thing that needs to be requested. I mean, you are in Steam, you have an option in your game to play whit another people, why not just make it easier for your customers? Even whit Steam Works. It's stupid to be asking the devs to make the process a bit more "user friendly"

Yeah, I agreed. Steam's SteamWorks Multiplayer is already enough easy as it is right now.
