Steam Community: Official Groups

[Hectic Glenn]

With the recent update to Steam Community, we've seen a much nicer interface with a couple nice additions including the blotter and improved group management. Some of the sharp eyed individuals may have seen the addition of 'Official Groups' which up to this point have only been used for a few smaller titles. Tonight official groups have been unlocked for:

• Episode 2
• Counter Strike: Source
• Portal
• Team Fortress 2
• Left 4 Dead

You can now join these new groups and join the chat rooms for the specific games, I'm certain they'll start getting busier in the next few days. They should be a great tool for large community discussions and organising of multiplayer games. (Or you could just enjoy the company of the Halflife2.net group). More to be added in the near future, see here for Official Groups.

Less than thirtieth to join TF2, Portal and L4D groups must have an achievement of some kind.

Chats aren't too great yet.

Take a good look at those numbers and remember the days they were in the double digits.

I can't really see how these official groups are useful.

Well for one thing, it means they can post news updates as popups to everyone who joins, like with the HL2.net group.

 

[AciD]

I can't really see how these official groups are useful.

And they are led by mentally stable persons.

 

[Druckles]

I've not seen any leading as of yet.
