In their own words
GamerLink
GamerLink is a free mobile platform for finding gaming teammates and connecting with friends through Looking For Group posts. The site says it supports more than 300 LFG games across major platforms. Users choose a game, platform, and game-related preferences when creating a post. Profiles can include a color, avatar, wallpaper, bio, and selected games. LFG chatrooms help players coordinate sessions, while voice parties support conversations, friend invitations, and group messages. GamerLink is available on iOS and Android; desktop and web access are currently unavailable, and accounts cannot be accessed there. The content feed is no longer supported as the service focuses on LFG. Users can remove friends, report users, or block them. GamerLink is for users aged 13 and older, subject to local parental-consent rules. Its privacy policy says it may collect account details, messages, activity, and device identifiers.
Steam Community
Steam Community is a social space for players to share content, follow games and connect with friends. Game hubs gather discussions, uploaded material and game updates; users can browse screenshots, artwork, broadcasts, videos, Workshop items, news, guides and reviews. Steam Chat supports text and voice conversations with friends or groups, including videos, Tweets and GIFs. Steam Broadcast lets users stream gameplay to friends or the wider community. Workshop offers player-created mods and cosmetics for nearly 1,000 supported games. Steam also lists achievements and custom recommendations. Its mobile app for iOS and Android provides access to Community, Discussions, Market, Workshop, broadcasts, friends, groups, screenshots and inventory. Steam Community is free, though access to more Hubs requires a Steam account. The client supports 28 languages and counting. Steam accounts are personal and generally cannot be sold or transferred. Users under 13 may not subscribe, and local law may set a higher minimum age for account creation.
