In the last Smach Z article, someone said that somebody big should stand up and develop such a thing and that it could be a promising endeavor... :)

Quoting: denyasisI was thinking media. Like critics or a cooperate account for reviews.

I think that make sense for the number of games and hours played, especially if the account is used by multiple people.
I can't imagine any media reviews all the garbage that is on Steam. And if it would, they wouldn't do all that badges. Or have 75% completion rate in games. Everything in the profile screams real gamer.

Quoting: Guestjust make card with radicullus hight Hash Rate no need for ray-tracking direct X OpenGL vulcan and other technologies (money)

Such cards do exist and one for Ethereum is expected soon. So situation might get better.
...or somebody invents yet another crypto coin for speculation and environment destruction, because, why the heck not?!?

It sounds like a perversion to reduce the capabilities of technology, but I guess that's something that has to be done in order to, well, get "GeForce Cards into the Hands of Gamers".

Quoting: The_Aquabatanyway 25k it's pretty crazy, a few years ago it was easier to get into the top ten, now according to gamedb.online, only three persons in the world have more than 25k games https://globalsteam.online/players#games [External Link]
so it's a rather really odd bug.
Number one [External Link]: 24 000 games, 11 000 DLCs.
Played 220 hours last two weeks - that's 16 hours each and every day.

Quoting: The_AquabatI have a friend who was in the top ten of people who own the most games, but this was like more 5 years ago, when there were like 8K games on steam.
Do you have an idea how much money he had spent on this?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThere are people who have more than 25,000 games.
I wonder how many games on Steam are free to play (or really free)?

If On A Winter's Night, Four Travelers - probably the best free game you will find today

I played it now as well, and it is very dark and very good.

The developers plan to bring it to Steam [External Link]. It's not yet decided if they can do it for Linux as well. And they'll bring some possibility to support them (to itch and Steam) - which I will use, as the game is worth my money for sure.

It's very good - and visual novels is the only genre I filtered out on Steam because I dislike them...! :D
