The new color isn't particularly good for visibility of standard links, especially once clicked; see Quake II's page. --SirYodaJedi (talk) 18:27, 12 Aug 2023

Edited da template, much darker, while still look cool and matching the design used on Steam Store page, but it's should be decently visible enough. --Kr0tchet (talk) 14:56, 14 Aug 2023

Much better now. --SirYodaJedi (talk) 18:06, 14 Aug 2023

I probably gonna need to clean this template up yet again.

Chromebook status was removed for now, and the Steam Deck text would no longer be colorful. -leonidakarlach (talk) 20:52, 17 June 2024 (PDT)

EDIT: Same thing for Steam Deck status (for now aswell), gonna keep the supported OS since not all Source games were ported for Linux and other platforms. --leonidakarlach (talk) 04:22, 19 June 2024 (PDT)

should be shorter

I don't see the point of "Launch on steam", "Buy it on Steam (via Browser | Steam client*)", and "Steam required, click here to download Steam.". I think it should be removed from this as it serves no purpose. I would assume any valve developer already has steam, knows where to click to buy the game or launch it too --Nescius (talk) 06:16, 12 August 2024 (PDT)

After thinking about it more I don't actually see a reason to have this template. I can't help it but it looks like an advertisement creeped up on the page and vdc is not for shopping. Any relevant links like steam store pages are usually either in info box or at the bottom of the page. I can maybe at least see a point in only keeping the first sentence talking about availability of the game on steam but everything else just feels like clutter --Nescius (talk) 06:59, 23 August 2024 (PDT)
