Join the group and who knows?  You may get lucky!

 

It's where all the cool kids hang out! You can tell that it's the Real
Thing because it has a built-in typo in the URL  ;-)

 

There's even a comment once every three or four years! ;-)

 

Has anyone ever used Steam Groups?

 When it comes to myself: Ever? Yes. Regularly? No.
 But I'm old school. Usenet is as much 'social media' as I want to get.
If I need to chat online with friends, we still hop onto an IRC
channel. Facebook, Discord, all the rest: blargh. Tried 'em, didn't
see that they were doing anything better than what we already had,
except the new stuff had a lot of unwanted corporate nonsense
attached. We'd still be using the TALK command if it were still
viable. ;-)
 It doesn't help that stuff like Steam groups is aimed more towards
immediate and short-form communications... and if you all know one
thing about me, it's that I /do not/ communicate short form. ;-)

I've tried to set up some co-op with others here using Steam and the group, but never had any luck, scheduling or whatever.
Pretty much the same with my rl friends, though we did somehow manage to play a good bit of Diablo 3 together when it came out.
The only other things I can think of that worked was 20+ years ago when we played MMOs together.  Everquest & City of Heroes.  EQ was a good 2 years of time playing together a good deal, with a year of not much. and City of Heroes only lasted about 3 months of that.
I guess you could count a bit of hotseat play with 1 friend in ages before that.
Of course in person D&D was a thing, though that got much harder when I had kids, and Covid at long last killed that off.
