You can now link your Steam accounts to your GB account. Like XBOX Live, your Steam account must be set to public so that we can see your achievements. I'll be watching throughout the day making sure there aren't any errors in the process.

Great stuff, I was originally a bit confused because it asks for your Steam username, which for me, is different from my nickname and Steam Community 'Custom URL' - I had to use the latter to get it to work.

Right now it just says "username". I assume what you really need to enter is your custom URL. Anyway, it's fetched my avatar so, it's working for me so far.

Awesome. It's a shame you guys can't get Sony to play nice. Would be nice to have a central area thing for all my gaming profiles.

Does the games have to be tied to Giant Bomb pages manually or something? 'Cause Portal and Audiosurf seem to be working 100% fine, but my other Steam games are missing game icons in my games list and gives 404s when clicking their achievements. I actually have the same problem with the PC version of Kane & Lynch, which is through GFW Live.

Mine's 'finished' but empty, I assum it's just because it hasn't processed correctly yet but it looks like it's working for others.

Mine has processed, but at the top it says:

Whoops. Please make sure your XBOX or STEAM privacy settings on their Web-sites are set to public. Once changed, your data will correct itself within 24 hours.

and it isn't displaying any games. And yes, it is set to public in Steam.

Use the "Custom URL" name. We're fixing some of the wording in our forms, but that's what needs to be used. Also note that this is a case sensitive name. For Jeff "GiantBombing" did not work because the url was "giantbombing".

Sorry, I have no idea why Valve uses 3 acount names either.

@Blueblur1: Are you using your steamcommunity.com URL name? You may have to create one if you don't have one yet.

Cheers Snide, that last point just fixed it for me, I was using TheBeast instead of 'thebeast'.

Awesome. Added my account. This 15 minute wait seems like an eternity though.

Grades and rarity only get updated once a day. We'll run it sporadically through the day for steam today.

Why is it case sensitive? The Steam Community website isn't case sensitive.

I got it. It has to be the same way it appears in the URL like Snide said. 'Blueblur1' kind of worked (my avatar showed up) but it wasn't grabbing data. I changed it to 'blueblur1' and it says its now grabbing my data.

Haven't got and done it yet but all I can say is "YES!" in a Jeff voice.

Added my account no problem at all. It says wait 15mins for it all to build...

Before even refreshing my page I got a PM saying
"Just letting you know that we've finished syncing your account, danger_danger, on the Steam service. You can check out your cool stats at http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/scooper/games/."

Really slick, you guys are good at what you do for sure.

Hi, I got an error with using a Custom URL e.g. http://steamcommunity.com/id/monk-tf2.

The dash seems to cause a problem so I changed it to http://steamcommunity.com/id/monktf2. Some issues with special characters?

It is all working now though.

Weird. I used "LordAndrew" and it worked great. I don't know why some people are having problems with case.

I'm happy the world can see I got the fastest time in the world on Trails 2 but sad at the fact that there are a few games I've bought but not even installed yet or played like once.

We've auto-lowercased everything since we noticed the original problem. We also removed http://whatever for people that can't read instructions. This is a good example of why you don't allow your users to have 3 different account names. It just breeds confusion.

@Kiemoe: Check the previous posts in this thread. You gotta user your custom URL name and type it in lowercase letters.
