Ability to mark games in steam store as owned, when owned/purchased elsewhere.
I'd like to be able to mark a game I already own (as a store bought disc, on GoG, on Humble-Bundle, on Origin, or on console, etc) so I don't have to go through all the games lists on GoG/HB/Origin/console everytime I think about buying a game here.
As an owner of hundreds of games (multi-platform), purchaser of many bundles, and a sale-freakathon buyer, it is easy to lose track of all the games.
These notices could, and should, look different from the steam bought ones, so as not to confuse them. Different colour, text stating on which platform it is owned, etc.
Keep up the good work RCSWE
This is never going to be a highest voted item, as most players do not have this problem, if you own a couple of games here and there, it's easy to remember. This function would not interfere with those who have no use for it, and it would be a great help to those who do, the big buyers. Win-Win!
The only problem with doing this is that the data Enhanced Steam gathers and caches is loaded locally from the LocalStorage object. While it would be trivial to add a button that would let users add their own games to the "owned" cache, these entries would reside locally. So in the event that you loaded a new Chrome profile, you would have to go through and mark all of these games again.
I'll keep thinking about the best way to implement this, we can probably come up with something that will balance between form and function.
Wow, that was a quick answer!
This is really a question for Valve - I have suggested it there as well but I don't see them implementing it anytime soon...
Thank you very much for looking into it.
It would be possible to use the API's of the other web sites to determine what games you had on them.
GoG.com got https://api.gog.com/downloader2/user_games you just need to login with OAuth.
It just seems like a lot of work for a feature that I'm not sure many would use? But who knows.
@jshackles not need to be added to the owned cache. could be another list and run independently of the owned games but do the same(highlight games with green bg).
How about using isthereanydeal.com's "collection" for this? You're already using that site for price/bundle info so it would be a logical step, and mapping of the game ids, etc. is an already solved problem.
In addition to that, there's a greasemonkey script for importing games you own in lots of different stores into that, so it'd be convenient from user standpoint as well.
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.
