There are so many quirky game festivals. Previously, there was an ‘Airplane and Train Game Festival’ specifically promoting airplane and train games. This time, Steam has introduced a new BulletHeaven Game Festival, featuring games similar to Vampire Survivors. Many survivor-like games are participating in the event, and new games like Pest Apocalypse and Darkchaser are being launched.

        You’re paying with your own data. Ye ye “steam does that too” or “everyone does that” but they have Chinese smoll pp backing them

          I’m not a fan of tencent or china exactly but it’s not like the data they’re collecting is precious to me at all. If they think there’s value in a bunch of nonsense that only allows generalisations then I’m fine with that if I get something from it, like free games.

            You are part of the problem though… They’re ruining gaming on PC and you’re helping them by signing up to their site and actively collecting free games, did you know that?

              And valve are instead the saviour? I have no allegiances when it comes to platforms. I play all consoles and use all storefronts.

              Out of all platforms I’ve had more grievances with steam lately when it comes to customer support and refunds.

                Valve made possible gaming on Linux for example. What about lil Tim? What did he do? Divided gamers on PC because he wanted a share in the PC gaming market

                  I’m not discrediting valve for all the good they’ve done but they’re not holier then thou. And it’s not like I pick epic over steam. I buy on steam way more due to convenience, but I have to also be smart with money at times and just buy where it’s cheapest and take as much free stuff as I can get.

                  Also “dividing” the pc market is not a bad thing. Why would you want one company with a monopoly? They should have competition, it’s how we get good customer focused values in the products and services we use.

                    Problem is: Lil Tim doesn’t offer anything good and “free games” are not enough. I wonder how many games you played from the ones you collected. Don’t answer, I don’t care.

                    and just buy where it’s cheapest and take as much free stuff as I can get.

                    You’re still part of the problem. You’re the reason why they can keep doing what they do
