Steam feature: Find near players to play - (like GAMETREE)

[|GßS| DAM]

Hello!

I am from south America. Here the player base is very low, and for games that are not famous or new it is very difficult to find players to play.

The GAMETREE social network has a function where you can find players for a particular game near your location, and you can configure the distance where the application can search.

This feature would be really amazing, fast, simple and practical to find players on Steam.

Hasn't it happened to you that you just bought a game and you can't find anyone to play with? This is very common in fighting games and in which players host their game.

With this function by steam (which should be able to be configured so that it can be activated or deactivated by each game) we would avoid having to be looking for players on social networks, joining discord channels, adding people who may not play anymore that game, etc.

Think about it! Thank you very much!


Write +1 in this topic if you agree with this feature.

No thank you, i don't want people contacting me saying "Steam says we're close by want to play games"

If this is added, it needs to optional and off by default.

If you want people in your area to play with you, post in the games discussion area asking for people from your area to join you.

Please, READ!: "which should be able to be configured so that it can be activated or deactivated by each game"

This feature would be optional.

Games disscusion do not work. This is a rudimentary method: Most discussions are in English (which excludes many players from other languages) and is not practical enough, fast and up to date.

Please evolve, don't be fearful and conformist.

Multiplayer games should already have this feature in their games. If not, ask the game devs for said game(s).

ask the game developers directly to implement something like this. this does not need to be at a general client level.

I have more than a thousand games. Do you think it is practical to write to the developers for each game and that they will also listen to me? Oh guys, you are very practical and innovative...

No one told you to attempt to implement the option in all your games — perhaps start with multiplayer games you actively enjoy, currently.

The whole multi-player match-making system is incredibly bad. Back in the old days we easily made new friends by playing in community run servers.

When Valve introduced quick matches in CSGO and TF2 they obliterated the social side of gaming.

CSGO, a Valve product, you know the company that also did Steam btw, has nearby-lobbies implemented and btw one of the most played games on Steam since its release 8 years ago.

you have an example of what you request, working, under the best possible conditions.

suggestion: download and install csgo, see how well it works.

With community run servers it’s all about the regulars getting to know one another.

That doesn’t happen with ‘lobbies’ does it ... its randoms in every game?
