Quoting: ChloeWolfieGirlSo weird to see backlash over features like this, I don't use these kinds of tools, but this is a feature that'd at least make me interested.

That being said, I never read the reviews on Steam except for the meme reviews anyways.

However Amazon also has an AI thing that summarizes reviews, and I find it really useful.
Yeah, I'm sure Amazon would never set LMM system prompts to downplay negative reviews in summaries for bad products it needs to get out of their warehouses, or on low quality products with high profit margins... /sarcasm

If the browser extension gets a referral kickback for any games sold when using it's extension, there is no reason to believe they wont manipulate the AI summaries to get you to purchase more games as well.

It's probably a tie between Super Mario Bros 3 and Crystalis. I put a lot of time into both when I was younger.

For me on Steam, the update download was just under 3GB. Quite a bit smaller than I expected, but the game patching part does take a little while.

Steam Families announced with parental controls, no more library locking

Quoting: Mountain ManI guess the "one person is banned, you're all banned" rule is meant to safeguard against a dozen people all sharing the same game library, but I can't imagine developers and publishers are going to be too thrilled about the possibility of this feature cutting into their sales.
I think it is more of a technical reason where the licensed copy of that game is banned, not the individual user. If your family member gets that copy of the game banned, no one can use it anymore.
