VR support
Recording
Screenshots
Live Streaming
Mods
Voice API
Big Picture Mode
Community hubs (games can integrate this)
Dynamic cloud saves
A SteamInput equal
A Steam Audio equal
A Steam inventory equal
Game notifications
Net cafe support

The client is basically irrelevant in this day and age. Anyone could build one better than Steam and it wouldn't even be hard. I only bring it up because it's what everyone talks about when defending Steam. Like it's still 2024 and these things are hard.
Steams only remaining value is it's network.

Halo 3 is available in the MCC and no one plays it. This will also be dead in a few weeks when the novelty wears off.
You've been able to play this for 12 years+, but you didn't.
Me and over 90 other forgers had the privilege of working with Halo developers during the lifespan on Halo Infinite to bring our content to matchmaking. In this article, we share the stories from that collaborative process that rarely get talked about.

We did get a ping thanking us for our work that helped support Halo Infinites matchmaking before the server shut down that many people might've missed.
They did give us a heads up that they were unsure of what was going to happen to the NDA server with the switch to Activision.

“It literally can’t get worse bro”
It absolutely can and I’m going to laugh at every one of these people as Halo becomes the actual thing they claimed it was when 343 was in charge
The Top 10 maps in the #HaloFest Forge Contest in partnership with @ForgeHub have been selected!
Our latest blog breaks down the maps that you can play in matchmaking starting later this year: aka.ms/HF-Forge-Finalists
We'll announce the winner at Halo Fest!
How did you even get a horse in here?
Gullet is a symmetrical remix of the engine room from Halo CE's campaign mission "The Maw." I also took a few notes of inspiration from Halo CE's Hang 'Em High. Links below.
A big thanks to the forgers that helped with this map.

It most definitely was not. I would never have forgotten my drugs.

Over four paragraphs for the gorilla
Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸
May 27, 1999 — May 28, 2016
Forever in our hearts.
