Now I look like an idiot! And Andy looks like a genius! ;) I'm out of bandwidth at home until next month. I'll try to get stuff done on the campus, but it's not so easy without access to instant messaging, Thunderbird, OneNote, or Steam itself. God damn you, Valve! Now I look like an idiot!

But it might just be one of those unselfish 'make stuff better' things like Powerplay. My guess is that you’d have to bundle your game with Steam to get those features.

So you could implement the stat tracking and authentication features without the customer installing Steam. How are Valve looking to gain from this? I guess they hope that these free tools will encourage developers to use the Steam front end too. And maybe to activate achievements requires the customer to have a Steam account. I'm not too sure how it's actually going to pan out, but you better get your ass out of hibernation. It’s interesting that they’ve decided to decouple the Steam backend for Steamworks.
