I have started a blog! The idea is to post a bunch of technical articles there, and first out will be a series of blog posts talking about my experience of using the Steam SDK.

I was kind of baffled to find how bad the documentation is, and that there are no good publicly available examples of how to use it.

My first article explores the SteamGameServer API and server queries https://blog.avoidpointer.com/how-does-one-use-steammatchmakingservers-anyway/

How does one use SteamMatchMakingServers anyway?

So you've worked on your Steam SDK powered multiplayer game for a while now, and you're thinking... wouldn't it be nice to add a server browser or something ...
