Yeah, its gone.
Though it is coming back and if you opt-in to the latest Steam beta you will be able to access that option again.

There's a new Steam Beta client available. To access the Beta, go to File -> Settings. On the Account tab press the Change... button to open the Beta Participation dialog. Then Select "Beta Update", and allow Steam to restart itself. Here are the specific changes:

- Fixed roaming game categories and favorite settings being reset
- Added option to set server browser ping rate independently from download rate
- Fixed missing menu item for updating AMD video drivers
- Fixed launching of 64-bit games with "-" in the command line
- Improved in-game overlay compatibility for some 64bit game executables
- Added ability to handle proxies that require "basic" auth when downloading games using the new content system
- Improved support of concurrent user sessions from multiple platforms
- Fixed cloud enabled games sometimes not launching until the client is restarted. Also fixed the Steam client showing a “Waiting for cloud sync” dialog at exit forever when in this state.
- Updates to workshop APIs for upcoming Steamworks games

- Reverted change that was causing Steam to hang

- Fixed regression leading to some 64bit games hanging on launch

I'm actually going to opt-in just so I can stop losing my game categories everytime I sign into Steam from a different location. :)

Sounds good.

Theres 64bit game clients? Which ones?
 
First time in a while since there has been anything worth mentioning... especially since December when we were flooded with specials.
Anyhow... here is what is available now. Don't know the games, but recognize the games so I figured it is worth a mention.


From Dust is $5

Its just the mobile app so far isnt it? I can't remember my password so I can't log in. Hopefully they will bring out a better version for the ipad tho.
 
I tried logging in to the app this morning, but received an "account not in beta" error message.
It's out for Android too, but I cant sign in since my account doesn't have the beta access. :(

Better because you guys can't log in? :confused:

You need to opt in from the pc client for beta stuff afaik.
 
There isnt an iPad version yet, found the mobile app, I have looked on my pc client and couldnt find where you opt in for it.

I'm having card issues with them. Don't think I'd be using them again, just can't buy the missing link dlc via paypal or card.
