Could a gaming food delivery app spice up your gaming? 😎

[Tamerlandoooo]

GL HF, guys! Imagine a delivery app just for gamers – what kind of cool stuff should it come loaded with, in your book?

[Satoru]

Steam literally delivers games to you…..

[Tamerlandoooo]

I don't mean games, but, for example, the delivery of food, some goods, while not distracting from the game process, like a widget.

Reminds me of /pizza in EQ...

what you really want is a physical button you can press to order pizza

No

In overlay you do it with web browser, yep? So imagine if it was in-game widget just for delivery food, in overlay?

No, Steam does not need to be an everything program. Everything programs suck. And no I don't order stuff by app, I either go to the physical store and get it, call and order something to be delivered or open up the website in a real, actually safe browser.

I do not want the extra bloat for stuff that 99.999% of the people will never use.

But do they automatically come with Doritos and Mountain Dew, huh? I sense a powerful business opportunity here!

Which wouldn't be helpful for countries outside of the US anyway. I think Uber delivers in like five big cities over here. Even regional players like Wolt are still limited. We have Lieferando by deliveryhero but most restaurants actually worth ordering from aren't listed there because of their insane fees.
So they would have to make different deals all over the place.

Aye. They tried. They failed.
It's one of those ideas that sound great, but no one needs actually. Especially not with limited choice.
And that was before everyone had a mobile phone with internet access in reach.

There was a suggestion thread a couple years ago asking for this. A user wanted to order food on Steam through a delivery app in Steam because he was too lazy to look up or use any of those services on Google.

It was funny when a Valve employee deleted it too.

The chances of it happening are near 0.

You know... this sounds ridiculous, this sounds like something door dash and whatnot already do... but yeah if I could order some wall chicken while I'm playing castlevania.. yeah that'd be neat.

You already can... on your phone.... or alt tab out... no need for it to be part of Steam in anyway.

If they did add it, you know people would be screaming, why can't I pay with steam points and/or steam wallet!
