It won't be too long until users get used to the standardized locations for socials. And it cleans up a lot of spam
Except the only socials they support are Discord, YouTube, Facebook, X and Twitch.
That is a bit lacking, we will have to see what they come up with. And otherwise your users might just have to read what you have to say in the description
@Boomkop3 Yeah I guess 🤔 I wish they could provide an optional image-button UI for the socials widgets so theyre easier to see at least..
Chris also wrote that his next blog post will be about alternative strategies to cross-promote games. I'm curious what he'll come up with
I suppose valve could just put a "link your own games" section in there. But abuse of just that was part of the problem :/
