Co-optimus integration
I used to notice, that when there is multiplayer/co-op on the game page I consider to buy, I often go to game discussions and co-optimus.com for the network/local gameplay info. It would be great to integrate block with co-optimus+users info to the right column of the game page.
For games, that are not on co-optimus, there should be editable categories (how you did with DLC pages) for local/network player numbers, possibility of LAN, if there is co-op campaign or just specific content like missions, and other vital information (that right now can be found on forums only).
Should include something like that:
[co-optimus info-block for Torchlight 2]
Co-optimus Score 5/5 (Editor's choice) Co-optimus Community Rating 4.21/5 (48)
Local Co-Op: Not Supported (show only if supported and if steam page says multiplayer/local coop, just to show players number) Online Co-Op: 6 Players (show only if supported and if steam page says multiplayer/(network) coop, just to show players number) Local + Online Play: Not Supported (show only if supported and if steam page says multiplayer/(network) coop/local coop, just to show players number) LAN Play: 6 Players (show only if supported and if steam page says multiplayer/(network) coop, just to show players number) Co-Op Extras:
- Co-Op Campaign,
- Co-Op Specific Content (show all features from extras list, and features suggested by users, like with DLC categories)

[end of co-optimus info-block for Torchlight 2]
Co-optimus replied (admittedly a while ago) with an API that we can use. I'll see what I can do tomorrow, or Tuesday. Should be entirely possible to get this working.

Will need to filter by system. See: http://api.co-optimus.com/games.php?search=true&name=left%204%20dead
You can add &system=4 to the end of every call to ensure you get the PC version.
It's been nearly 4 years, but this is rather helpful! I might take a look over the next few weeks. 👍
Ha, I know. I totally forgot we exposed an API to folks and then I got a query the other day for something else that pointed me to this thread. Would have been a simple answer back 4 years ago! :)
So, Enhanced Steam is discontinued. There is now Augmented Steam. Perhaps your requested feature/bugfix is already implemented there! If not, you could move your issue there.
