I apologize if you did not get the slight Twitter-ish pun in the title. It was very subtle. Anyway, on to the point – the Steam store that you access via your web-browser looks exactly like the Steam store you access from the client, complete with auto-buffering muted video {Not anymore. See Updated news} (at least on my Chrome). Ugh.
This is the website on the browser now…
…and this is the store on the Steam client.
As well as the irritating auto-play option.
Why would Valve do such a thing, especially when users absolutely hated auto-play?
UPDATE
Well, it sure seems like Valve saw this post OR somehow it recognized my browser as a Steam client. Either way, everything’s back to normal now.
