Workshop Store checkout process improved

Valve has delivered on their plan to add a new Steam browser protocol for paid Workshop items. The Leadwerks Game Engine beta branch on Steam has been updated so that Workshop Store purchases go through the Steam client instead of requiring you to log into a web browser. You must also opt into the Steam client beta for this functionality to work. At the moment, this feature is only available on Windows.

This removes the biggest source of friction in the checkout process and makes the Workshop Store more convenient to use. I've also found the cause of and fixed some downloading problems that some users were experiencing earlier. Remember, all purchases are associated with your Steam account and can always be retrieved at a later time.

 

The website has also been updated, although this also requires you to opt into the Steam beta update.

 

This change was implemented by myself and Valve as a direct result of your feedback.

If the workshop button is actually gonna stay this time, I'll be happy to make an icon for that before 4.2 ships. :)

 

Also, great to hear. I hope this will later mean more things can be on the workshop in the future.

I thought you did make that one? I painted out the $ sign because I thought that gave the wrong impression.

I think there's a threshold of profitability we have to reach, and once that is reached the Workshop will instantly fill up with tons of content because the artists will all want to make money.

No, I made the icons before the 4,1 release. And my design would have been flat to match the others.

 

I got an idea for a design that'll fit. It'll pretty much be the same thing, just match the rest of the icons.
