A curious data on game releases distribution: how can there be about zero reviews?

So, according to this data, you are not competing against 20K+ games since half of them ain't gonna get any players anyway. Only ~3500 games are worth to be called commercial.

Windrose just won: the Pirate survival game by a tiny team outperformed Pragmata and MOUSE. But it's not purely fair since Windrose has been released earlier.

Meanwhile Crimson Desert stays strong and Slay the Spire 2 sells well but faced a backlash due to the recent update with unbeatable bosses.

Yeah, I mean, how many times my save files from 2010 or 2013 were still on Steam cloud? Ang GOG is even better with their game upgrades for modern systems.

Do not install suspicious free games on Steam. It's the 20th time the game was packed with malware!

This one was called Beyond the Dark and the issue has been discovered by Eric Parker.

It was using a fake Unity DLL that booted a custom virus, depends on the system (which browser the user had, which antivirus, etc).

Sadly, Steam Community items are more and more AI now. IMO, it should not be allowed, it's a downward spiral... (via)
