    Steam has opened its very own GameFAQs-alike, accessible right in the Steam client. Steam Guides allow users to create their own guides or walkthroughs to games or other Steam software.The creation tools allow image uploads and YouTube embeds. User-created Steam Guides are then available in-game through the Steam overlay, as well as through the Steam site and client. Not all of the guides are about Team Fortress 2 hats as of writing.

    Steam's user-generated content network/hub Steam Community has received a new feature that allows members to create and publish their own guides for Steam games. After joining the Steam Community Beta, users can utilize the Guide system's creation functionality to craft stuff like Alden's Overly Simple Portal 2 Puzzle Creator Guide.Steam's guide creation tools allow users to inject photos and videos from their Steam Cloud into their guides, as well as embed YouTube videos. Additionally, other Steam users can be given read/write access in order to aid in a Guide's construction. They could also aid in the Guide's destruction, we suppose, but that's on you for inviting trolls into the fold. We recommend a battery of background checks and drug tests before allowing any acquaintances, online or off, access to your VVVVVV Space Station 1 Speed Run No Deaths How To Guide™.
