As always with propietary software, it would be really nice to have some interfaces opened for other developers. Not only some for Friends, but also something to use for creating web applications based on the Community or something like that. XML feeds for game stats and so on would be great for example.
More interfaces = more useful. ;) That's my opinion, at least. 2008/4/2, Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I already have my own lookup tool that basically opens the steam community > page for a profileid that's generated from a steam id. > > http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=60899 > > The issue is, it's a lot more intensive than a specialized interface. > Right > now all I use it for is banning entire groups from my server. > > Steam community is great in that regard, player in the myg0t group?
