Another year is almost up, it's getting chilly and Valve's annual Steam Winter Sale has now gone live so go warm yourself up with a toasty new game.

As a little extra, during the Steam Winter Sale you can earn Festivity Tokens when you shop and then use them in the Holiday Market. There's also some special quests to complete, to get extra tokens to spend in the market.
If you pick up anything you're really excited to try, do let us know in the comments. Our Forum is also open if you need a lengthier chat about a specific game or you need help.

Quoting: ageresDoes anyone complete holiday quests? I cannot do today's one (to watch a friend's broadcast). I get this: "Your web browser does not support the minimum set of features required to watch this broadcast." Is this a Steam for Linux problem?
Not sure. I watched my girlfriend streaming, but she couldn't watch me as Steam doesn't support broadcasting from a Linux PC. :/
We then switched places, so she signed into steam on my PC, and me on hers, and she got the web browser error you got.
I started the exact same game I watched her streaming, tried lowering my broadcasting resolution, etc. and we couldn't figure it out.
Could just be Steam being Steam, but I wish they wouldn't push people to use such half-baked features (especially when they're not even cross-platform compatible).
1. Close your Steam client;
2. Log in to your Steam account in a web browser;
3. Open a chat window there with your friend who is broadcasting (if you have missed step 1, it will be opened in a Steam client);
4. Join a broadcast here.
I still couldn't see any video, but it was not necessary to get that quest completed.
These quests are too social. Why doesn't Gaben think about introverts like myself? I should probably create a second Steam account…
Quoting: ageresAnother day, another broken quest… It cannot be completed with any multiplayer game, only with Remote Play. Find a local coop game.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is gorgeous.
