Since "Rate my team in Counter Strike" bots are so common now on Steam, Valve is using a nasty trick — their messages with phishing links are not being delivered.

For bots it looks like it works. But users only see the safe text. So, people who used to trick those bots are mad that now they don't get their scam links. Found this in the profile of a scammer today and giggled.

Good guy Valve

All modern CoD games are under the same counter on Steam. According to it, the series only peaked at 87K CCU yesterday, about 40-45K over the average.

Battlefield 6 alone still holds over 270K CCU there, Arc Raiders is at 420K, Delta Force is over 200K and Escape From Duckov was at 115K CCU yesterday.

Call of Duty just lost to EFT parody with rubber ducks...

That's also valid for any PC by the way...

Sounds reasonable

And while we're all guessing about Valve plans on Half-Life 3, they are releasing Android apps on Steam... for VR (XR) devices!

That's for Steam Frame, but copium makes people believe that Steam will get a fully functional Android launcher.

Some people don't understand how good the business is... but please, never focus on an AVERAGE salary, median one is more important.

S&box goes open source!
(Under MIT)

A modern game engine, built on Valve's Source 2 and the latest .NET technology, it provides a modern intuitive editor for creating games. BUT!

Obviously this isn't the Source 2 code, that's up to Valve to open source if they want. For us Source 2 is providing lower level systems, all our high level systems are C# like the entire editor, networking, scene system, UI, and way more.

Which means, it's partially MIT.

She's amazing!

Valve changed Steam Community Awards, made their price even and they no longer grant any scores for the receiving party.

Kinde meh, how do I farm my clowns now?

Valve is no longer able to launch Steam Machines in time and yes, memory prices will affect the whole thing.

Steam Deck is completely [OUT OF STOCK] and Valve confirmed that the issue is memory shortage. And it's not just price, they simply can't buy any more RAM.
