Subnautica got into Top-10 THREE TIMES, Forza Horizon 6 sold very well, the new Heroes Oden Era is doing above any expectations.

What the hell are Far Far West, Librarian, and Gamble Friends?

- Far Far West is a nice co-op boomer shooter. Praised for a good vibe and polished gameplay.

- Librarian is literally sorting out countless books in a virtual library. Apparently uses some AI assets. And literally "one of the best games for your autism".

- Gamble With Your Friends is a pure co-op slop party game (you know one = you've seen 'em all).

Regions with payment limitations will no longer be able to rely on Steam Gift Cards. Their era is over.

Stupid tech takes: Valve said Linus that they can't subsidize the device in any way since they can't guarantee that users will stay on Steam OS and/or buy games...

You can now download and install SteamOS 3.8 on a custom PC (not the 3rd party rebuild, the real one):

It's primarily focused on handhelds but can work on a broad range of hardware.

After Steam announced they will discontinue Gift Cards, I got it all wrong: they will discontinue PHYSICAL ones in stores as only scammers and boomers use them these days.

Instead, the virtual ones are in the spotlight of the current Steam Sale. In Europe it shows values of 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 Euro.

It's not just Steam that is struggling, SteamDB (that gives a much better search tools) is also ain't making it through Steam Summer Sale...

You can now make Steam gifts without Steam accounts and between currencies (with compensation),

+ Wishlists now support categories, search, sharing, and more. Those are technically two different updates but under the same goal.

Some hacker took control over backend server of Hello Neighbor spin-off (Secret Neighbor), removed cloud saves of all users and insists that the game has to be taken down completely.

Hello, dafaque department?

- Censorship
- Data altering
- Inflicted narratives

Nexus mods is not "serving people" as Steam DB founders pretend. Unfortunately. The history of bans, censorship, and odd partnerships is broad.

One week is now equal to 700+ games on Steam. Most of which will never be played by anyone (530 have fewer than 10 reviews)
