Online

I've been asking for this for years: a site that compiles data from all your online profiles into a single one, so that you won't have to insist on a Steam release in order to get the damn game into your Steam profile, and will be free to shop around for the best deal. And lo and behold, the site has existed from around 2014 apparently (which, amusingly, is right about when I started clamoring for it):

https://www.exophase.com/

And here's my profile: https://www.exophase.com/user/icycalm/

It only shows Steam games at the top because I haven't touched a console in ages, but if you keep scrolling down eventually you'll come across some 360 games. Now that I'll be getting back into consoles with the X and the Pro, my profile should become more interesting. Plus, it tracks Origin and Blizzard and even GOG, so I can play my GOG Thronebreaker and have it show up without double dipping into the Steam version, as I was planning to, thereby saving myself some money and consternation (I fucking HATED CDPR when I saw them release on Steam barely a week after they said that they wouldn't, and after I'd already bought my GOG copy. Fuckin' lying little pricks! And to add insult to injury, the game sucks too!)

Note that you will need to make some of your profiles public for this to work. More info here:

You should be doing this anyway, because it increases transparency and makes it easier to make friends online. And you do want to make friends online to play games with, right? Right.

This profile is still leagues behind many of Steam's cool features, both in functionality and looks and customization, but on the other hand it offers a ton of functionality that Steam lacks, and probably will forever lack considering that to even merely MENTION a competing platform on Steam is a bannable offense there. So if you want to see Exophase improve and dominate, as I do, the best you can do is make your profile there, connect all the stuff that it's possible to connect, and then come here and link your profile so the rest of us can have a look at it and marvel at your good taste and gaming prowess. And if you are cool like me, you can even enable it as your forum signature by going into "My Gamercard" and getting the BB Code and then entering it into the Signature section of your Insomnia User Control Panel [ > ]. So let's see what you got!

I placed my Gamercard in my signature, not too shabby.

Thankfully you don't need to supply login details to extract information from your Xbox Live account. I lost the password to that account years ago, and haven't had my credentials reset yet.

Here's the link to my profile: https://www.exophase.com/user/earthboundtrev/

My signature should be updated with my Exophase card.

The revolving banners at the top of your profile are taken from the last few games you've played. I played Gungeon recently, and it fucks up my entire profile. Gotta play some better games to get rid of it.
