i did try playing osu with steam at once but it has buggy steam community. you can open steam community in game but when it comes to chat with a steam friend you cant type a single thing.

also heres what i thought should be implemented

xfire : xfire profile link
steam community link
skype : ?

I can understand skype...

Steam dont really think it's needed.

Xfire... what, you can always add your xfire pic thingy to your signature or your userpage

Another bump in support of Skype user-name becoming an applicable entry to general profile overviews.

The amount of users I've talked to who actually use and will only use Skype as their preferred instant messaging client has been quite phenomenal during my year of playing osu!
It was half the reason I actually decided to make a Skype account in the first place.

Steam and XFire support I don't really care about but to other users that would be a nice option to have over the ICQ and Yahoo areas currently available.

+support.

There are endless things that could be used in our profile.

Why can't it just be custom?

What do you have?
- Something called Skype.
Okay, just write Skype in that box and your username in the other box.

Then it would just be abused with hearts and all that shit because we can't have nice things. Better to have it uniform.

You could just as well remain anonymous by not blasting it with whatever gibberish.

Perhaps make these

drop down boxes with a few more options to them, but limiting you to one of each. Isn't hard to implement.

As for what sakuraderp said, are you aware of that steam is more then a third party game retailer? It has a massive and also active community to it. I don't think there are more then a tiny handful of people who I write with who don't use it.

Support for steam, skype, xfire, but perhaps also google+, xbl, psn, lastFM, youtube, twitter, dA e.t.c

Its really not that big of a hassle to implement as you either copy paste a link or add your username somewhere in the url, as for instance with last FM it being

http://www.lastfm.se/user/>username here<

SPOILER

or steam

http://steamcommunity.com/id/>ID here<

psn

http://us.playstation.com/publictrophy/index.htm?onlinename=>username<

xbl

http://www.xboxlc.com/profile/>username<

dA

http://username.deviantart.com/

twitter

http://twitter.com/#!/username

and so on

The ones who you don't type in will simply not be listed on your profile, just how it is as we speak.

Support. The space is more than enough there after all and its annoying to see the links in my signature.

Maybe about Steam, we could look at the "Steam Greenlight". That could work!

My thoughts as well, but it needs peppy's approval first. Even so, the majority of the Steam community must support it. Let's just leave that choice to peppy for now.

peppy has already said he's not interested in osu! being on Steam. Why can't you just add a non steam game, and get over it? What features could steam bring to the table? how would osu! being available on Steam change anything except seeing a little link in the store and your library (which can already be added).

I think anybody that's mildly interested in music games will already know about this game. While I could see people new to the genre getting interested I'd say that'd still be a rather small amount of people.

osu! is free if you chose not to support it. That's very inviting.
I bet at least 500,000 new players will be introduced to osu! if it opens up to Steam, if not more.

hey, this isn't what this thread is about.

For countries other than China, that is.

I was about to post Skype integration, good thing I found this thread first.

I think we can let out XFire. Or is this still active? About Steam and Skype, we urgently need this.

(Just a question by side, does anyone use Desura?)

I would vote for Evolve, Steam, possibly Raptr, and LIVE (I believe it'll cover Skype, if it doesn't already)

I have no clue what are the other things except Steam.

I guess Evolve is something like XFire?
