Steam News Discord Bot I don't see the /watch command!
By default, setup commands are limited to admins. If you aren’t one, ask an admin to edit the command permissions. If your Discord client is in one of languages supported by the bot, it won’t be called /watch, but you should see it when typing it anyway.How to change the channel & pinged role where news are sent?
Just run the /watch command again.How do I get news in my language?
Use /locale to set your server’s country and language (setting the country will also allow you to get the prices in your currency).

Steam has sales for hundreds, maybe thousands of games at a time. You don’t want that kind of flood. Also no, it’s not feasible.Can the bot send old news?
