Reviews too! Steam has a frequently used and frequently useful user-submitted reviewing feature.

Reviews are a “community” feature, and it’s remarkably hard to build a review feature people want to use that is actually valuable.

The first time I played Tetris Effect in VR was like a religious experience. It blew my mind.

It’s also just a decent Tetris game, in my opinion.

I feel like “biographical” means something different than it used to.

Rogers noted, “It’s a Hollywood script, a movie. It’s not about history so a lot of [what’s in the movie] never happened.”

If only all of our dads could give us jobs like this!

Her father, Henk Rogers, was the video game developer who secured the rights to distribute Tetris on Video game consoles and began to base his businesses in the U.S.

To go along with that, it’s also a “good” time to lay people off.

“Everyone” is laying people off for “efficiency,” so it’s like a free pass.

That makes a lot of sense! I didn’t know they added the micro transaction stuff but that explains why reviews plummeted after a couple months.

Thanks for the details! (Or for telling me something I missed in the article)

The article definitely makes it sound like it wasn’t as big of a hit as they initially thought it was.

Steam concurrents have also dropped significantly following Battlefield 6’s big launch, when it hit a huge 747,440 peak. Steam concurrents are now, typically, in the tens of thousands. For example, Battlefield 6 hit 67,000 peak concurrent players on Valve’s platform yesterday.

Yep. Or, at least the one who has an LLM girlfriend(?) he thinks is fully conscious.

Yes!! I came here to recommend Xenoblade Chronicles X. It’s the most MMO feeling game I’ve ever played that wasn’t an MMO.
