So so so so so sad for 11th hr. Seriously used to be one of my fav devs. And now I can never play Last Epoch ever again, and it really was one of the greats. I fucking hate ai so much I swear.

edit: I would just like to link to back to this post I made back in July LOL:

I actually love Snoop being involved in ....... *waves hands* ....... everything everywhere. It means I can can safely ignore it as pop culture garbage nonsense. It's like hearing a song where the intro does one of those annoying rapper things. Just change the song!

^ That's exactly what I'm sincerely hoping for as well. That it'll eventually (can that be ... like ... tomorrow pls?) bankrupt all the major players and the whole thing will collapse / burst. There'll be a million apps & services that suddenly have features ripped out of them or become hideously expensive. Which will just mean people won't use them or they'll be delisted.

Like for instance, shitty game devs that currently use free (or almost free) ai to generate background art like pictures on the walls or something in an rpg ... that cost of generating those will suddenly be REALLY high. It will then once again go back to the artists to create those background art on the walls. Like it should have all along damnit.

also side note: Ed is so great. His podcast is worth a listen as well.

I really like this! I don't think I ever do anything with the steam labs so thank you for highlighting.

This looks so cool! Definitely on my wishlist for the Deck. Of course, after I get to Quartet.

I love it! What're the odds steam incorporates something like this into it's own app native? I would hope so, but there maybe some perverse incentive structure for them to not do it?

yeah .... I REALLY am not looking forward to 2026 being the year of (like scaine said) deluge of ai slop games. It's already difficult enough for both gamers and developers with the various discovery algorithms. Now with this shittastic ai fuckery there will be "developers" pumping out hundreds of games with zero effort and even if they make a single sale for $5 it'll be worth it to them.

... sadness ...

My only hope is that when the bubble bursts and all these companies have to actually start charging real cash to use their generators, it'll be too expensive for these slop-mills to use.

Oh wow, you really think that's on purpose? I thought it was just a bug. If valve is allowing publishers to break their store links ON PURPOSE, that's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy worse than it just being a bug.

whoa ...

I also had a blast this year playing through Avowed which is a ue5 game and had absolutely zero stuttering or other performance issues. It looked and played amazingly.

edit: side note ... the steam app itself is really shitting the bed recently isn't it? The other day my next fest page was completely screwed up and nonsensical, now today clicking the link on a dev is completely broken! If you go to the store page for Outer Worlds 1 and click on Obsidian as the dev, it takes you to the completely wrong place ... It goes to Private Division instead. I thought I was going crazy for a minute forgetting who even developed Avowed. But nope, store is just broken.
