Steam Gives Unfinished Business Separate Folders
· New York time
Valve is introducing Steam achievement sets, allowing developers to group a base game's achievements separately from those belonging to downloadable content. In games supporting the feature, players continue unlocking achievements through ordinary play. The change concerns how accomplishments are organized afterward. Someone who finishes a base game can inspect that progress separately from additional material, rather than treating every later expansion as another wing of the same unfinished house. That is useful for players who care about completion and for developers presenting a growing game's activities. The underlying leisure remains the same; its filing system becomes more informative. Entertainment has reached the point where a better denominator can feel like a quality-of-life improvement. Your imaginary medals now have a more competent records department.
