Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
I can unlock the drop-down menu item and have it selected but I still get a message box:
"Don't Starve Together Beta is not available on your current platform."
Valve need to understand that if Steam Machines are going to compete with consoles then they need to incentivise developers to have actual multiplayer. At the moment it's just the Portal 2 missions, Left 4 Dead 2 if you tinker with it a bit and some indie games that aren't exactly going to pull people away from their Call Of Duty and FIFA.

+1, Local co-op games are a must for me.
How did you manage to get local co-op in left4dead ? Why isn't it official ?
If you look round steam, there's a lot of guides on how to do it. It's mostly just pulling up the console in-game and typing in a few commands. There's a video one here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nlp1j9u3T1Y
No idea why it was never made official.
Install says it's finished in less than one second and when trying to start the game I get "Failed to Start Game (Missing Executable)".
