like the title says, these two items are core necessary for gamers but do not have their own steam store page yet

Why would they need their own store pages?

:nkCool:

why not? they are worth it and show up in the library like every other product on steam. but when you click their button for store page you end up on 404 and it feels not right. i think it would be beneficial as well if they had their own community space for discussions.

giving them their own store space also makes them easier to access for gamers.

The games themselves include all redist and other needed files, in the steam install for said game.

That is a developer thing, not a steam thing.. People need to stop putting more things on steams shoulders. They are a store front, to sell games.

yes they ship with some games but these two items are a thing that is owned by and belongs to steam itself.

it would also be more practical to be able to install them indepently which is possible already but still i think a store and a community page would make it look more polished and accessible.

the way they are distributed currently is fine, steamworks sdk and redist are included in game installs because the games themselves depend on them as well as including the ms redists for directx, .net, visual C++ etc

Steamworks Common Redistributables is just a set of shared depots that video games can mount. It isn't a product.

The Steamworks SDK has its own entire website: https://partner.steamgames.com/
