I can’t use Steam without this browser extension anymore I used to buy games in the Steam client like some kind of animal. Then I saw the light. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.Here’s how it works. To borrow a phrase from my teammates on PC Gamer’s UK staff, sometimes browsing Steam can be a right ballache.
