This is why I never do remote installation of important drivers.
Past few days I haven't been paying too much attention to this thread or Steam related things (or much anything for that matter) since I've been busy with WoW, trying to make the best of the free time on my other account.
Anything interesting got announced/released or bundles worth picking up came out?
Also the thread is in community now. Does that mean all the next Steam threads will be made directly in community?

Whooo! Thanks, a friend was kept recommending this game to me.
The general Steam threads will continue here, yes.
The regular posters will more or less stay around and post at the same rate. It's the population of those who usually just read posts that will sharply decline. Which is troublesome as they may have insight or opinions that benefit everyone.

It's not a bad idea, I'll see if someone more more versed / authoritative wants to when more are around. For now, think of it as something overdue to clean up the Gaming forums a little, which may or may not change, we'll see how it works. Like others said, it is along the lines of the direction change a while back.

Why is Titantall on Alien Isolation update history page? The fuck is wrong with you Volvo?

It's PCGamer's news.
News is automatically syndicated from certain publications. That article is listed because Alien: Isolation is mentioned.

Yeah, but I clicked the view updates history on the Alien Isolation store page, why are they showing me unrelated stuff?
Oh, I see... :\
It's an aggregate deal post from PC gamer that happens to mention discounts on both Titanfall and Alien: Isolation but is using media from Titanfall.
Edit: Noooooooooo

Great, now this thread will become even more full of inside jokes and everybody congratulating each other on things nobody else has any context for.
I'm sad, I liked the Steam thread a lot.
EDIT: I hope at least the big Steam Sales will get their usual traffic.

The "View update history" link just links to the news landing page. It doesn't actually lead you to where it's supposed to take you. The update history page is useless when it comes to 99% of games, anyway, as Valve still hasn't mandated patch notes and so the vast majority of devs don't bother posting a changelog.
I can remember RPS talking about having to hook up the news feed themselves so Steam can attribute specific site news to specific apps. I guess something went a little crazy over there.
Edit: It's tagged Alien Isolation PC Gamer's end so that's probably why.

We may complain but that won't change our live for it.
I've finally watched the Conan's Clueless Gamer video about COD:AW (featuring the "Press F to Pay Respects", just with another button cause X1 reasons) somebody linked when we were living the life in the sunnier side of this site, and omfg, I laughed my ass off.
I don't know why I never watched any Clueless Gamer video, just his interviews or the occasional drug dealer admin, but I feel I've been badly wrong all along.

this place smells so communal now.
I'd like to think that the August thread coming to a head after pages upon pages of alpacas and food means the same people are wise enough not to consider this change a licence to repeat history. "Now we're in Community, I can talk about whatever I want with impunity!" would be the absolute worst mindset to have.

... and "communal" is just a few letters away from "communist"

Well there have been discussions about why this thread wasn't in community in the past so I got the impression this time it's a different change, I really haven't been keeping up with it.
thanks for the updates!
tbh if you guys didn't mention it, I wouldn't even have noticed the move to the Community forum lol

Read Minsc's posts over the past couple of pages.
Honestly the whole Gaf gaming/community structure makes no sense and seems largely pointless. I can't imagine it will make any difference to this thread as it's not like the subscription disappeared. Personally I don't understand why each platform doesn't have an entire section dedicated to it, but if this setup works well enough I guess it doesn't matter.
Well I think the idea here is that more relevant news will get their own posts separate to this. The same would probably be true of the sales thread... maybe

Guess i'll take that. Was just hoping for some SteamThread Regular mod knowledge.
Though I guess it wouldn't be much different.

haven't checked, but if this means that we're going to drop more PC stuff separate from the steam thread then maybe it's for the best. Not that the PC threads weren't getting made anyhow, but maybe the next time there's a really interesting Kickstarter we'll be more inclined to give it its own gaming thread instead, which benefits everyone really.
Zeliard is a bit like Cthulhu - he awakens from his aeternal sleep every time a Bayonetta game gets released and then goes back to the unfathomable abyss when his work sewing discontent and chaos in the world is done.
Given Bayo2 market results, we can safely assume this was the last time he graced us with his presence... That is, unless Sega decides to publish Bayo1 on Steam.

So we are in community now?
Well, alright then
Every time someone gets banned from play CSGo, even if its just a temp ban, they must create a new account and buy CSGo to get around it. Its the only explaination I can think of. The other day I learned my son has 8 other accounts with CSGo. Such a waste of steam/grandma's money but oh well.

Sales thread will ALWAYS get a thread.
That's the biggest steam event. Which is why I said before I don't mind the move.
Since Sale thread will be where we all go for a bit and then new members might decide "I should go to the steam thread in community" rinse and repeat.

I'm on the rebirth music hype train. Can't buy it day one, but the soundtrack is so good.
All aboard the insular off topic cornmunity hype train!
It's good for my wallet, though. I kind of like it.
The moment Sekai Project gives us a fucking release date.
Game related threads go in Community.
Crazy opinion pieces and shrieking about frames per second go in Gaming.
Game related threads are the threads we deserve but not the ones we need right now.
Community is the wild west. Anything goes now.
This truly is high stakes, high tension posting now.

I think it just automatically pulled the Titanfall images since that PCgamer post mentions Alien in some way though.

So we in community now? No wonder I couldnt find the steam thread. I object to this, who do I bitch about it to get it back to the gaming section?! 
I'm half joking...

The one thing that I find odd is that OTs are still in the gaming discussion section. Those feel like threads that should be in the community section, too.
OTs are moved to Community once they're a month old. Sometimes, though, they're forgotten about until they're bumped again.

It's funny how often that happens though.
But if the game is that forgotten well not much you can do about remembering it.
