HOYLE has already tried this.. Let's just say it's a failure.... http://www.hoylegaming.com/

What if a system similar to that used in Dota 2 could be made. Where if a person were to abandon a game, they would be put into a low priority pool for 24 hours, and the game is recorded as a loss. To other players only wins are shown, but the overall number of games played is shown. Not every steam game is playable offline. In fact, not nearly (the popular game 'Tribes: Ascend' is a good example of this). I, however, do agree with you, in that this idea is too far fetched and would take too much effort. The developers would have to work in tight cooperation with Valve for help.

Hello fellow Bridge Base players, In order to attract a larger user base to BBO, I was thinking that perhaps a Steam version should be released for younger players. There is currently not a card game section (genre) on Steam, however, this game would fall under the FTP category (Free to Play), and in addition a new section *could* be added. I think this would be of great advantage to video game players, such as myself, who spend their time regularly online chatting with friends. Moreover, I believe that if a casual section does not already exist (on BBO itself), one should be added for players who wish to voice chat with their partner, and take advantage of the steam overlay. As this would be the first proper MP card game on steam, this is just a highly experimental thought which I felt that I should share with the community. Please share your ideas on this topic, Assyst At time of writing there were 2.5 million Steam users online: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/
