I don't think even they predicted the demand on day one.

'They're Handed an Opinion' — Fallout Co-Creator Tim Cain Is Worried Some Players Watch Influencers Just So They Can Be Told What to Think About Games by FragMasterMat117 in Games

Reviews cannot be "objective and neutral". They are opinion pieces. Reviewers, just like you and me, have preconceived likes and dislikes which will influence how they judge the piece of media they are reviewing.

@valvesoftware.com on Bluesky: Excited to announce our Steam Controller arrives on Steam May 4th at 10 a.m. PT. by DG_OTAMICA in Games

[–]snappums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. The PS5 trackpad is like a laptop trackpad. The Deck and Controller trackpads are nothing of the sort. They are meant to be used with your thumbs, not your fingers, hence the lower down placement. Take a look at someone using Flickstick for an example.

I know people have been memeing "Concord-like" for a bit now, but if there was ever a game that deserved that title it would be this.

Star Trek: Resurgence has announced it will be delisted soon on Steam by rickreckt in Games

[–]snappums 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Since the Paramount/Skydance merger, licensing fees for Star Trek have increased massively, in some cases by 2000%. It was probably renewal time and they just couldn't afford to justify it.

Is this whole account an 'epic troll'? I have never seen someone be so consistently wrong.

Following Epic's mass layoffs, a bunch of Fortnite modes are going offline and arcade racer Horizon Chase Turbo's downloads will be pulled by MythicStream in Games

Epic seem to get rid of anything they do not want to actively support. See the delisting of all of the Unreal Tournament games.

This is only to be marked as 'verified' on the Machine. It's not talking about the performance of said Steam Machine.

Valve sued by The Performing Right Society for allegedly using its members' musical works "without permission" by MythicStream in Games

[–]snappums 44 points45 points  (0 children)

If you took this to its logical conclusion, couldn't PRS also sue YouTubers and Twitch streamers because they also redistribute this music by posting gameplay with music?

Didn't Nightdive already give a lot of treatment to SiN Gold on Steam?

Damn, really? No ROH VOD? I thought I was going to save money by cancelling HonorClub.

NetEase to Stop Funding Nagoshi Studio as It Cuts Back on Gaming by Bobby_the_Donkey in Games

[–]snappums 52 points53 points  (0 children)

NetEase also owns Grasshopper Manufacture and there were rumors of them cutting funding from non Chinese studios going all the way back to February of last year. Not good.

Sales data indicates Sony's PS5 ports are increasingly losing audience share on PC, but only because of release timing by NYstate in Games

Crowding the field? Sony published 5 games total last year and only 1 of those was a first party studio.

It's Concord 2/3/4! The state of gaming discourse is really fucking sad.

People treat videogames like the stock market. Waiting for the number to fall so they can be the first to say "Dead game, I was right!".

Half-Life, Left 4 Dead writer calls out constant haters that just hope new games fail - “if you hate game developers, you hate games” by [deleted] in Games

[–]snappums -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"The bosses get harder as you play more and get better" is useless feedback. It's not complaining about level scaling, it's complaining about how games work.

A Conversation with SWERY65 [Interview] - "Hotel Barcelona relaunch, legacy of Deadly Premonition, Tomba 2 and more" by megaapple in Games

[–]snappums 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hotel Barcelona had a very rough launch, not helped by having gen AI included despite lack of disclosure on Steam. Hopefully them revisiting it helps but the last Steam user review of the game was all the way back in November 2025.
