Transistor was in some ways a step up from Bastion given that it offered 2 (and a half?) different ways to play through the campaign. Also the OST and overall production were better imo.

Remember a few years ago when games having narrators was a bit of a fad? I have to assume Portal was the main inspiration, though Darkest Dungeon ended up being the one that pulled it off the best imo. It's less what the narrator sounds like, and more about the material they're given.

Valve learning from the best:

EGS: Steam took additional measures and you can no longer activate keys using VPNs.
Here I wondered what I did wrong when trying to activate Sniper Elite the other day... Can you just enter a fake adress and change your location without fearing any problems (ban)?

It is against the SSA but I don't think they've banned anyone for doing that.

I presume key activations are now bound by the same rules as gift activations, which means that unless your IP and the "home region" of your account match that of the key (i.e. you've most recently purchased something from the Steam Store of that region and are connected to the relevant VPN server), the key won't activate.

On the "bright" side, going forward we should see fewer runtime/language-locked retail subs.

Btw, as razakin told me through Discord, it is still possible to search for users through community, as a way to search friends through name without using the friend code. I would contact Alden (or any other Steam guy) to at least put that option in the "Add friend" page, as it can still be somewhat useful:

Talking about devcom:



Edit: They reconfirmed open beta for summer, so we are in the endgame now, only 1 month left for them to break the promise!

Bad news, Pathologic 2 studio in trouble


Game sold like shit, which is a damn shame because that means we won't see 2 additional campaigns that were initially planned. I love this game, it's very hard and weird, and most of the reviewers didn't understand what's going on in it and gave it bad scores. Ironically, the same happened when original Pathologic happened, but it didn't stop it from receiving cult status and selling well enough to keep the studio afloat. Unfortunately, no miracles this time...

I'm a little surprised the matter of the cut wasn't pressed on. Valve has hosted numerous indie-oriented roundtables since the launch of EGS, and I have to imagine the question of "Have you considered revamping your base revenue cut?" has been a popular one. (I think it'll happen, probably circa the end of the year.)

Also, automatic release state changes when? Automatic 👏 rolling 👏 unlocks 👏 need 👏 to 👏 be 👏 a 👏 thing 👏 already 👏.

That sucks. I don't want any price benefits or something like that. I just want to activate stuff that is not sold at all over here. :(

As a Kickstarter backer for Pathologic 2, all I can say is... shit.

We need to have a Steam contact people in here. Let our voices be heard!

New dota 2 hero. I haven't played this in such a long time. Cool that they're making more original characters.

Dang.
How scary of a game is it? I avoided it due to being a horror title :X

strangely its still not out on xbox, thus not out on gamepass (it was announced as a day 1 gamepass agea ago), I bring this up because much like the EGS situation, we are lead to believe devs get a big nut from Microsoft for having games on gamepass.

I doubt the reviews had too much of an impact on Pathologic 2's sales. The audience for that type of art game is exceptionally small.

How often do you guys mark owned games as "ignored"?
I have quite a few. maybe 40? They're typically the kind of games I've finished and never intend to play ever again. Also, either games that have been superseded (like Dark Souls=>Dark Souls Remaster, or SF4=>SSF4). Finally, some games where the beta branch is different from the release branch, but you still have the beta branch in your library even years after the game is released.
It's necessary to avoid being too cluttered.

90% of the games on my ignore list are work sims (train, farming, etc.). I'd ignore the simulation tag entirely if stuff like Ace Combat (lol) didn't have it applied.
