Audiogames will conquer Steam? Lol

how to make steam available? I downloaded the application, NVDA does not read it. Sorry I write not in the topic, I just do not know where to ask

I'd class steam as "usable", but not really accessible. Though  as it's possible to circumvent using the actual crappy client and create your own shortcuts, this isn't actually as much of an issue as you might think.

However, even though Valve are a bunch of brainless idiots who wouldn't know accessibility if it poked them in the eye, Steam is also the fastest growing of all gaming platforms.

Want to get sighted gamers and mainstream companies into audiogames? Steam is one of the best ways for doing that, since through Steam, audiogames will be far more visible to the generally sighted gaming public.

So, while I personally am not a huge fan  of Steam, much less the ignoramuses who design the client, and would generally prefer to get games on other platforms when possible (albeit I'll still get games on Steam rather than miss out on them entirely), I'm totally in favour of audiogames being brought out on Steam, just for the visibility factor if nothing else.

@7 more download methods means more work for the developers. It's not really that hard to use tbh once you know how to use it, OCR and the steam app/website are your friends. I can download games and launch them from the steam client itself.

lol how many times has been stated that steam is not that difficult to setup? you all making it sounds like it needs like 10 hours to setup and getting use to. create an account, install steam, modify the shortcut slightly, let it run on the background and you never have to really care about the app anymore since you can just purchase the game via web browser, that's it.
there is a guide in artickle room for more detail.
@9: a western drama is basicly... well kind of the upgraded version of a blind legend with wild  west theam.

is the steam security query finally finally usable without sighted help?

@firefly82, last I setup the shortcut with username password as described in the guide, it went passed all that capcha rubbish, and it was just necessary to answer an email and login on the steam website with a standard tick box to get things working, no sighted help required (which is a good thing.

of course, I've not had to touch that since I had to resetup Steam back in August, so whether it's changed since then I don't know.

You can sort of semi navigate the client by tabbing around and using arrows with NVda, but what it shows and what you hit seems pretty inconsistent, and most client functions once your logged in, like checking achievements, subscribing to mods, downloading games  etc, are all possible through the website itself anyway, which is what I do.

As I said, I would describe the client as sort of vaguely usable, but not exactly accessible, which is an improvement on it's previous status of completely unusable at all, but not really where it needs to be, especially with the stupid match the pictures capcha crap.

Unfortunately this is still the best way to navigate on Steam, but it's a topic that has been taken up – in my opinion, the more audiogames are on Steam, the more Steam would consider accessibility the fundamental aspect that it is.
However, A Western Drama is an audiogame with binaural audio, set in the Far West of the mid-19th century. The main character is a bounty hunter, there will be fights and shootings!

Thank you for the accurate recap and for the feedback

hello, @ 14. yes, i just use the steam client to install games and uninstall.

for the rest i use the steam site, the client is clearly an attempt by steam not to make you forget about it.

of course I must say for @ 15, would it be possible to have an alternative steam client? already exists for epic games, because not for steam yet
