OTHER THAN a global chat, what does hyperlobby do that Steam doesnt? Nothing that I can think of.
On top of this, Hyperlobby is poorly-designed: it doesn't show the player counts unless you join through hyperlobby. Seems like a fundamentally-flawed piece of software to me. I tolerated using it when Forgotten Battles was around because the ubi.com lobby was even worse.
I have some fond memories of HL but it's just not a very good program, and if steam had a global chat, it would be better in almost every way.
