Extra Screenshot Capacity per Steam level

[Impala]

Feature request:

I am currently capped at 25k screenshots, I would like to be able to upload more screenshots.

I think if you have a higher level steam profile, you should be able to upload more files.

why should level matter? you can have a level 4000 steam account, and only have a few games on it. Level does not = needs more space. High level only means the account has been crafting badges, nothing else.

you have a large number of games, but a level 0 account can also have 2000+ games on it.

again, why does high level = need more space?

Wolf Knight eredeti hozzászólása:

and at what level does steam give out this extra storage? let me guess, level 100? doesnt cost much to get to 100

just do what the leveling already does , per level , you get 50 extra screenshot slots, just like it gives you 5 friend slots
and for every 10th you get 100 extra , it would give leveling atleast some purpose besides showcases and friendlists

I have 2000 games on my account.

This means I can only have 12.5 screenshots per game.

This is not including if/when I purchase more games.

The system needs to be changed.

i agree , while you dont need to take screenshots in every game , its kinda bad you have a cap in the first place , like you said , you could only have 12.5 screenshots per game uploaded if you have that many , there simply are games where you might want to take 300-500 screenshots in total

or you need to change. ever account has the same amount of storage, you need to manage your storage better. storage requires computer hardware, computer hardware costs money. if you want more space, pay for it yourself.

i think you dont understand something here , we users with lots of games dont need to manage better, its just a bit weird to give players who only have tf2 and dota 2 and someone with hundreds or thousands of games , the same amount of screenshots , one user literally only has 2 f2p games , while the other has thousands , the one with thousands is bound to take more screenshots because he also has alot more to screenshot

you have 20 games , you can upload 1250 screenshots in every game
you have 100 games , you can upload 250 screenshots in every game
you have 1000 games , you can upload 25 screenshots in every game

you see how this math doesnt work ? a user who has more games, can only upload fewer screenshots than someone with a fewer games because of a universal limit

No one needs to put 25 THOUSAND screenshots up anywhere... seriously.

You literally could just make a video of just the first page of your screenshot gallery and it'd be... the same as watching the game's credits. That kind of epitomizes what we're saying. Quality over quantity. No one's gonna say "don't press f12" because hey screenies are fun to go through on your own drive. But... who is even LOOKING at the screenshots you've put up? When they could just... play or watch the credits of whatever?

you cant say that like a universal rule like "humans need oxygen to survive"
some prefer to play games slowly and take their time to screenshot pretty things they see , and why shouldnt you be able to do that ? i love graphics, i can spend an hour admiring great graphics , and the glory of being on pc , compared to console , means i can take screenshots of the things i see and be able to share them with others , i could probably spend an hour looking through ultrawide witcher 3 screenshots , i saw one in the steam community hub a while ago , made me think about getting a 21:9 or 32:9 monitor

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1695755986

i would love if users who have an 21:9 or 32:9 monitor could make those for all games , and upload near infinite of them ,they look amazing

and besides , i found a reddit post from 26th july 2016 where someoen mentioned they just realized the cap got increased , until then it was just a fraction of the gb we have now , so why not make even more available ? it could benefit valve too they could show screenshots on the store page to show how beautiful a game is , maybe make a monthly thing where the highest voted screenshots get showed as a slideshow if you want , that could really show how pretty some games can be

also , i dont care if others look at my screenshots , i want to be able to preserve my gaming sessions , i took alot of screenshots when i played through arkahm origins now , i will do the same with other games , those screenshots will stay on my account , even if i decide to get a new pc in idk 5-9 years , i wont have to backup my screenshots for that, i can just upload all pretty ones to the cloud, also , i can show my friends anything , wether its funny , a glitch , a pretty wallpaper like scene in a game , i can just freely upload without worrying about the fact its limited (and then having to decide between 2 pictures or delete old ones

Create a new account, unlimit the account, Family Share with it and have another ~19GB of cloud space to upload more from the games that can be shared.

you see how this math doesnt work ? a user who has more games, can only upload fewer screenshots than someone with a fewer games because of a universal limit

And this maths is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You can make far more meaningful screenshots in TF2 than you can in a Telltale game where everybody sees the same and what you see is highly skripted.

How much money you spend on your account should determine your upload ability. If they give you 50 more per level, so what? That's less than one game if you keep uploading a screenshot for every five seconds of gameplay. So it's pointless if you don't change your behaviour.

You can keep taking all the screenshots you want, store them externally on a RAID or another cloudservice if you want. There is no need to upload the same screenshot with slight variation five times on Steam.

im too lazy to write it down ,but compare the square meter size of all tf2 maps , with something like the witcher 3, watchdogs 2 , or skyrim
big open worlds simply contain more you could find pretty

That doesn't mean Steam has to host all of your screenshots.

why not , i buy games on steam , i play games on steam ,why shouldnt i have screenshots on steam too , and if you have more games , you need more space, its simple

also , you have 5.51 times more screenshots than games , but when users with lots of games want to do the same , it suddenly is "steam doesnt have to host your screenshots lol "

theres no reason for steam to not have a much higher cap , they already raised it once before , and that was in 2016, before steam had this many games , nowadays the best solution would simply be 1000 pictures per game by default , thats a number thats hard to reach , if you have alot games, you can chose to use the 1000 pictures ( or 970) of them for another game , that way it would be alot better, if you have more games, you will make more screenshots , simple

and changing this would be good for most , users like you who dont need it , just ........ dont use it ? its like someone who is a profesional soccer player being against disabled parking bay , because he doesnt need it

if steam doesnt increase it , alot users will hit the cap , just like they did with the old one , and then they have to do something , would be better to just increase it now so people dont have to worry at all

12.5 is plenty ? since when

also , you only have 50 screenshots , refer to my other comment , if you dont use a feature , dont vote against it

[AmsterdamHeavy]

Since you decided to add arbitrary math into the equation. Thats when.

This is OCD nonsense. No one needs to support yours, or anyone elses mental glitches.

25K seems to be a quite generous number to supporting such.

Your "memories" can go on your hard drive. Valve gives quite a generous amount of storage space. Name a basically free services that gives more.

I'll vote against whatever I want. Tool.

[Wolf Knight]

and if they give you the extra space, how long till you are crying its not enough? and then you will be demanding more space, and after you get that space you will fill it up again and cry for more space and the cycle will continue.

manage your addiction better, you are one of the few that needs more space. the vast majority of users never get near their limit.

Space isn't a zero sum. You cannot just add a new server and say "that's for screenshots." Screenshots are UGC and share the same storage as artwork and workshop items plus whatever else Valve decided to put into this storage.

I much rather people have more space work real creative content than some ... users ... uploading cutscenes in still pictures.

If you want to grab a movie, use a freaking recording software.

And TF2 has user interactions aplenty. You are far more likely to have unique moments to capture than there are "oh, this rock looks funny" moments in any open world game.

I wonder how you people would survive before digital photography. When you had 30 pictures per film.

its not an addiction , but i use steam for features such as having a friends list , reviews , and also being able to upload screenshots , and see screenshots others upload , its also a reason i use steam over uplay and origins when it comes to games that are on more than 1 client

and like i said before , being able to upload screenshots means ,that even if you get a new pc someday , all your screenshots are still there

it also doesnt matter if most dont , most people dont need medicine to cure cancer, does that mean medicing to cure cancer is pointless ?

lastly, its funny how the private profile user wants to go all "you are addicted , vast majority doesnt need this"

for all i know , you could be a person who only has 1 game on steam , so why should your opinion matter more than mine

manage your psychological problems better, you are one of the few that feel the need to go into discussions and just disagree for the sake of disagreeing

see , i can do that too

Specifically why I said base it on steam level. If you run out, you can pay valve more money for extra storage.
