do you want to give an indie game dev a gift this christmas?
why not consider reviewing their games on steam? it's completely free, and getting 10 reviews on steam can give games a big boost in sales and visibility 🙏✨

Sure, SW: Hunters is a fun game, but Linda McMahon running Education is a little too close to art imitating life, thanks.
Looking forward to bold new programs and policies, including:
