“Purchase in secret and hide your porn games!” is pretty much what I got out of that one.
I do like the gifting to multiple friends in one order, though. It was a pain when I wanted to give multiple friends a gift and had to deal with multiple transactions.
When my coworker asked for my Steam ID, I said no, because I don’t want them to know that I love playing wholesome games like Frog Detective and Tinykin, especially when im a edgelord shittalker when we play FPS games.
Hasn’t steam had a shopping cart for like 2 decades now? You can’t just announce features pretending they’re new, who do you think you are, Apple?

Oh, it’s across devices. When has that ever been a thing, who is like “oh I really want to buy this game but I want to buy it on my desktop instead of the phone I have in my hand which I used to look up the game and I’m now on the page I want with the item in my cart, but nah I won’t complete the extra 2 taps to purchase it here and now”? I mean, yay, but…???
With the shopping cart syncing - Me. It’s not super annoying, but often, I add games on my steam app. Sometimes I add games on my steam deck. Sometimes I add it on my computer.
I do it too. I’ll often add a few that look interesting, then go purchase later on my computer when I get time to play. If I don’t get time to play before the sale ends, I remove them.
Other times I’d add a bunch of games and then look up reviews to narrow down what I’m going to buy.
Also it’s easier to look up whether I own a game on other stores on my desktop vs my phone. I have a bunch of games on Epic (free claims) and GOG, but I haven’t played a bunch of them.
Also, I prefer to buy on my desktop instead of my phone so that purchase gets registered as a Linux purchase, especially during sales when I might not install the game within the 2-week or whatever window Valve has got determining which platform the game was played on.
In the past, I’d have to manually transfer things, but this should make things a bit easier.
Not at all, I’ll see a game on a lemmy or post or while browsing steam while dropping a steamer. And the next day I’ll sit at my pc and go… the hell, I know I carted some games.
I just started wishlisting for when I remember to check.

Im probably a unique edge case.

Right on!
Pricing history, and being able to see other stores and compare is a huge piece of the shopping puzzle.
It’s extremely rare I add something to my cart and just buy it.
