    To be honest, all the hype around P5 is making me want to replay P3 FES.

    So Valve just killed the Steam User Forums, with, from what I understand, zero warning.
    Like, that's about 90% of my goodwill for them gone. There were some pretty amazing fixes and stuff for games on there, and now I know I'm not gonna be able to get them back.

    Nani?

    Hmm... A quick Google and I find...
    The what? The only thing I got linked to is what I (Very rarely, but still occasionally) look at when I google a problem. Generally though I end up looking at something more related to the issue, like for Skyrim issues I tend to end up on a Skyrim website.
    So... Was it just a temporary thing or was there something I never knew about?

    Edit: Okay, something I never knew about. Anyway, stop being melodromatic. It's the internet, and Steam is an important website.
    And I can see why they might have gotten rid of it, given I never knew it existed.

    I have been told that doesn't work well. Feel free to be melodramatic.

    You're being too dismissive about this. The User forums were a fantastic resource that I've used a couple times myself, and deleting them without any advance notice is not okay any way you look at it. And the Wayback Machine isn't all-powerful; Try accessing any thread with it and you'll see why.

    Sorry, I just have never seen it, so I have no idea.
    (Oh hey, the wayback machine isn't all powerful, also a surprise, I've actually never used it, either.)
    Okay then, yeah, that is rather annoying.
    So, what all was on it, and why is none of it available anywhere else? (I would assume that most important things would be on the forums for the thing, like Skyrim stuff on the Skyrim forums.)

    Wait a second, I remember now! I have looked at them before I'm fairly sure.
    I think I looked up a problem my friend's had in Skyrim that it would every so often crash his computer. A quick Google search later and I found a thread for that exact problem, someone suggested a solution that didn't work, then everyone stopped reading the original post and started trying to fix the issue where the game gives a black screen rather then running. This seemed to last for about... 100+ pages.
    I feel like there was no great loss in that thread.
    Edit: Nope, I don't think I have ever looked there; that thread I was mentioning was from the Nexus forums.
    So yeah. I'm in agreement with you Vort Fluffy. There was a forum?

    It's important because X steam game might have had issues running on certain types of hardware/etc, and it had workarounds.
    One thing I used it for was getting the Steam Overlay working in Star Wars: The Old Republic (MMO). The fix required you to copy some text and compile a small .exe that'd allow the overlay to work through the launcher and into the game. Now, it's gone, and If I delete the file I have of it, I'm not getting it back.

    Sure, mine is somewhat minor. But, there were bigger issues and fixes. You might never have used or heard of it, but there were many, many people who did. It's like the steam fourms for non-idiot, non CoD-Kiddies.

    Edit: Also, think about the wider ramifications of this. They've just shown they're willing and able to just shut something down, with no prior warning. If they've done it once, they can do it again. Valve has way too much goodwill, and they're exploiting that.

    The steam forums have been absolutely instrumental in me getting multiple games to work. Fixes typically involved ini edits that I never would have figured out myself.

    Yep, looking into it more, it looks to me like just someone went "We have a what now? Oh, we haven't done anything on it in years. Anyone mind if I delete it?"
    Hmm...
    Looks to me like people are blowing it a bit out of proportion though, claiming that it was widely used, but... it also kind of couldn't have been. You couldn't register, so no one new could ask for help. If someone who's used steam for years has never heard of it, then it wasn't extremely active. In terms of still having discussions; I can see it, but at the same time, it was kind of stated it was slated for destruction. I'm not blaming anyone for that, of course people are still going to have discussions, even if they did say that it was going to end.
    What the heck did you have on those forums that them disappearing is equivalent to your family dying...?


    Someone linked to this, so it looks like they're going to let you back in for a bit.

    I paired Frederick with Miriel. They were also wrecking everything in sight - I approve. It was easy enough to beat the final boss using A+ pairs, actually (on Normal Classic difficulty).

    There's still a game hub and discussion tab in the Store.
    Personally I found all the fixes there. Never really used the forums.
