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.

    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

            If doing what they are doing is occasionally giving us cheaper games and making it so steam has to up their game on sales again then yeah, I’m glad to be part of that problem. You’re welcome.

              Don’t complain when you’ll lose access to your account and they basically tell you to fuck off because for “security reasons” they can’t recover it :)

                Actually, the percentage of drm free games on Epic is pretty high, sometimes the same game will be drm free on epic and require drm on steam. Games that do require epics drm though can fuck off (especially since their is no offline mode). List
