Linking our Microsoft account or Playstation account.

If Valve could do it, it would be great if we could link our Microsoft accounts or Playstation accounts for a couple of reasons;

Steam could detect games we own on console, so we could write a review about them on Steam without owning the game on Steam.

Steam could detect when we are playing a game on console. For example, I am playing Rainbow Six: Siege on PS4, to my friends it will show;

In PS4 game
Rainbow Six: SIege

What do you guys think? This might not be possible but it would be great if it could happen.

will never happen due to them wanting you to buy the game from them

xbox and playstation games are different from the ones on PC. When reading recommendations for a game, I don't want to read anything about the playstation or xbox version. I don't care about those versions. I care about the PC version.

If your friends are interested in knowing if you are playing games on xbox or playstation they can start them up and look. If you don't have those same friends on xbox or playstation then more then likely they don't care.

Also pretty sure it would have to be a 2 way street. xbox and playstation would have to have something to send that information to steam for it to know that you are playing them. So go ask Microsoft and Sony to set that stuff up first, because Valve certainly will not hook into stuff like that first, it opens them up to lawsuits. The Steam API is very open and pretty sure it might already be able to do this, if Microsoft and Sony program something up to send that info to the API.

The point of that was so they could know I'm busy playing a console game so they don't bother me.

You would never be allowed to write a Steam review without owning the game on Steam. If you wrote a positive review for a game that is the mutt's nuts on consoles but a badly optimised, buggy, crashprone hunk of junk on the PC then your review would be misleading at best, outright invalid at worst.

Then add categories for Playstaion and Xbox.

Then why mentioned the review aspect of it? As far as having steam, a pc platform, showing that you are playing on console serves no purpose.
