After playing through Horses, I can't say it contains anything so incredibly disturbing or problematic that it deserves a ban. Most of its graphic parts have direct equivalents in The Outlast Trials, which is available on Steam and Epic. The scene that previously had a teen girl is extremely […]

Funnily, in a recent filing in the Wolfire lawsuit against Valve, Valve brought up a ruling in relation to Meta in its defense, but for some reason included that according to the Supreme Court, monopoly power requires a market share of 75%, to which […]

If Hello Sunshine had an AI content disclosure, it would probably look like this. Also, there's a new trailer out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_2NcnBVZ4o

Dustborn was affordable to begin with when I bought it on Epic, but now it's 90% off on Steam, which is too cheap for what it has to offer. Maybe that will push those on the fence though. One of my Steam friends just bought it.

Here is Santa Ragione's Horses with its black and white and other filters removed, aspect ratio changed from 4:3 to ultrawide. Of course, there is also a way to remove the pixelation of nude parts, like in its pre-release versions, but I'm not going to […]

Just finished my last Nightmare 4 solo run in Marvel Rivals. Beat it as every hero, unlocking all titles, which has been tedious. I hope the Zombies mode gets removed at its conclusion. I don't want to be playing it to have to get more rewards. Though […]

The new Red Carpet emote included in the Fortnite battle pass is one of its best emotes! It might be the first battle pass to make me smile, and I'm surely to include the emote alongside The Dip in my main selection wheel, which has two more slots now […]

I'm almost sure Epic uses AI for its text chat reporting update, but it has been my position for a while that the hate speech on Steam could be drastically reduced by using AI to prepare content for a human review. Otherwise it's simply impossible to […]

In the story of ARC Raiders, there was a first wave of robots aka ARC that were bigger, but the game takes place after that, when the robots are smaller.

The first episode on the making of the game revealed that it was originally a massive PvE game about fighting big robots, so it got me […]

I find it highly degrading when people use the word "consumer" to refer to themselves. Unsurprisingly, it's often done in the context of defending a corporation. We are individuals, not automatons defined by consumption or any other humiliating terms used in some corporate report.

There's a growing number of games that have apparently fallen foul of Steam's 'No because we say so' rule that are still being happily sold on other major storefronts like GOG.

Also recently DreadXP-published game Vile was outright rejected by Steam too, despite containing *nothing* objectionable.
Vile Is Banned
Developer Statement: VILE: Exhumed is a game about searching through an old computer, uncovering dark secrets, and experiencing the horrors […]

Looks like Steam finally allows to skip categories in its annual Awards to still get the profile badge. No need to pick at random or ask friends. Very useful for the VR and Steam Deck categories for those of us who own neither.

Raji is getting a sequel! I liked the original and its deep focus on the Indian culture and myths.

Fortnite has been a games launcher for all kinds of games rather than one game for a while. This announcement expands it beyond Unreal Engine. When people say they don't like Fortnite, it doesn't quite make sense anymore. Do they dislike […]

Hopefully a future update to Fortnite's sidekicks will introduce Claptrap from Borderlands and grant it for free for owners of the backpack like me!

Finally got to try the new Simpsons mini-season in Fortnite. The game is almost unrecognizable! It must be even more of a treat for those who love the Simpsons.

I've seen people say that ARC Raiders should be GOTY, but it didn't make it to The Game Awards list. Sad, given that I haven't played any of the other nominated games.

What is the explanation for more people playing GTA V Legacy than Enhanced, at least on Steam? To me, one of the biggest downsides of the graphics of Legacy was its anti-aliasing failing to address the jaggies and flickering, something that seems to be noticeably improved with Enhanced.

On the Rennsport Discord, every user was tagged in the game's 1.0 announcement, which included a Pepe emoji after almost every sentence. After I questioned the overuse of Pepe emojis, one user said "All the best racing sim devs love Pepe" and named Austin Ogonoski, apparently of iRacing, Project […]

After many hours of trying to beat Nightmare 4 of the Zombies mode in Marvel Rivals with strangers, I finally succeeded, but on my own. Only 100 in-game credits spent on one pack of revive tokens, as I had run out of those granted daily and couldn't […]

Lego Expeditions beaten, with every possible trophy unlocked. This one must be rare, as it required to play through 10 missions on Expert. It was more tedious than hard. The mode is getting removed tomorrow, but the trophies are to remain, though I'm […]

They regularly partner with well-known hardware vendors for giveaways and AMAs. The bigger community prominently links to its Discord server with over 20K users […]

Resident Evil Requiem appears to be the first Capcom game on the Epic store. Purchasing it not only returns 20% in store credit, but also grants a Fortnite skin that looks like the game's protagonist. An incredible deal.

Another thing about #steam I've said for a while is that it some of its aspects are simply self-defeating for the end user.

On the one hand, its market incentivizes grabbing and idling in all sorts of games just to get their trading cards to sell on the market. Then it builds recommendations […]
