minus-squareessell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·12 days agoGood point. Steam provides a lot of the same multiplayer services and match making and they’ve never cost me a penny.

Its why you can, for example, send an invite in AOE via the in-game system or the steam system. Its why so many games show your steam name and avatar in the multiplayer menus.
