Valve give Steam developer and publisher pages a little extra visibility

Valve have done a couple of small but useful tweaks to developer and publisher homepages, resulting in hopefully a little more visibility.

Don’t know what I’m talking about? When you click a developer or publisher name on Steam, if developers have actually set them up, you’ll go to their fancy page. They’re actually pretty important for the reach of games, since anyone logged in on Steam can directly follow a page to get notifications about new game releases. Easy for players to keep track of their favourite developers and publishers.

Like this example below for Hooded Horse:

Valve have tweaked the pages to enable developers to add various social media links, so they will show up at the top.

Additionally, these pages will also now show up every time you go through the checkout process on Steam, to show the pages for all the developers and publishers involved. Example below for 9 Kings (look to the bottom right):

On top of that, Valve made even it easier for developers to link games to these homepages so nothing gets missed. As developers set up a new store page for a new game, they can link them up right there whereas before it was an entirely separate page.
