Hey There, Fellow Gamer! Feeling Friendless on Steam?
Let's face it, gaming is always more fun with friends. Who else are you going to virtually yell at when your internet cuts out during a crucial moment (don't worry, it happens to the best of us)? But before you can unleash your friendly rage or celebrate victory dances with your squad, you need to actually add them on Steam.
That's where the slightly mysterious Steam Friend Code comes in. Don't worry, it's not some Illuminati handshake or password to a secret society of gamers (although that would be pretty cool). It's actually a super simple way to connect with your fellow gaming buddies.

How To Get A Steam Friend Code |
But First, Why Not Use a Bat-Signal?
Look, we've all tried the whole yelling-your-username-across-the-internet strategy. It's rarely effective and can lead to some interesting (and potentially NSFW) responses. Friend Codes are discreet, efficient, and way less likely to get you mistaken for a spambot.
