It looks mostly the same, everything at least appears in the correct place so far.

I like the new toast animations a lot, though it's incongruent with literally everything else on my desktop.

It's noticeably different, but I'm fairly neutral on the change. It does seem to be running faster, though, so that's nice.

The only noticeable change was the larger tabs.

I like it, I love the new overlay that let's you see stats for the game you're playing. It feels like things load/respond faster.

It is worth questioning why every app gets an UI refresh constantly... it's not like the technology is really advancing that much at this point, I think they do it just for the sake of publicity cause then more people check it out

The font for changed to an uglier, less crisp one, that's also less space efficient.

And there's a bigger splash screen now.
Because that's something people want.

This. I'm usually dismissive of any changes to UI layouts at all, but it feels easy to get used to this one.

I like the new overlay.

They do need to make a less virus like version of steam though. The current version in big picture mode can somehow bypass UAC prompts. That's terrible design to default to.

Big picture mode sucks anyway.

I don't like that you can't spoil achievements for yourself anymore. In the old UI you could check "Global Achievements" and see everything but now they're properly spoiler tagged. Not a huge deal but its bothersome to have to google achievement lists now.

why don't you use an achievement aggregate site like AStats or Exophase? (both are also pretty good at banning cheaters)

That's a really stupid change.

How would they know who is cheating?

Steam Achievement Manager is outright detectable, and usually moderators will check if a player unlocks 100% of achievements at the same time-stamp...

If you are just using in-game cheats or cheat engine for an advantage they don't really do anything about that since that's just you playin' the game your way... not gaming the achievement system

Why would they care when Valve doesn't? You can also take away achievements with SAM anyway.

Because achievement farmers have a certain level of personal integrity.

Because their entire raison d'etre is to give people a way to meaningfully compare their achievements to others. If those people can't trust that the displayed achievement stats are legitimate, that comparison becomes meaningless.

What if I used the cheats to unlock the achievements all at once?

I once toyed around with Skyrim commands and ended up accidentally coming across the one that completes all quests it claims achievements are disabled when you use commands, but I still ended up unlocking most of them at once.

that might get falsely detected as an achievement manager... but some games are just like that.

For example; Tales of Maj'Eyal is a super SUPER hard HARD-roguelike, but your achievements are unlocked in game and on their website so you have to "sync" your achievements to get them on Steam which causes the timestamps to be messed up sometimes.

Games like this tend to have exceptions
