Quoting: RTherenI never thought about preordering games. But this one... Let's hope it won't flop

The devs seem really dedicated to making the game work properly across the board. And considering the price difference between preorder and retail I'm very tempted...

Quoting: rat2000Also, I use steam since 2007 I think, and I have gathered a lot of game since then, I would love an option to delete a game if I don't want it anymore(not hide it, delete it).

Contact steam support, they can delete games for you.

You don't even have to contact anybody. You can do it in the steam client directly by navigating to Steam Support -> Games, Software etc., then finding the game you want to get rid of and clicking "I want to permanently remove this game from my account". I've done that a couple of times and it works fine.

EDIT: I was slow.

Ah, thanks for correcting me. Last time I used that option I got contacted by a service representative to confirm, so I thought it just created a proper ticket with them.

Quoting: KeyrockHeck, Steam's had some games on it in the past with missing executables.

Right now. I have 32 games that are missing executables on Linux. All these have a Linux depot. Three of them have Windows executables in the Linux depot. Three others only have the soundtrack in the depot. And most of them feature a Linux-icon in the steam store...

Out of curiosity, what happens when you report the ones with a linux-icon and no executable to valve?

I'm rarely hyped for a game. This is the one. I want it. Now. Gimme.

Quoting: rat2000I love Steam as a game store/content delivery, but I must admit, their client UI and website looks a bit outdated. I wish they would do something about it. itch.io looks a lot better(their website).

Redesign is coming! There has already been leaks :)

Quoting: GuestIf you enjoy playing asset flips and shovelware that is your prerogative. They still shouldn't be getting sold on a distrubution platform as big as Steam. Sites like Miniclip and newgrounds had better games then the shovelware sold on steam

I'm sure not why you're even defending things like asset flips, what is your intention? Because I enjoy using both Steam AND GOG if your intention is to fanboy one over the other?

He/she doesn't seem to be defending asset flips. Seems more like they are saying "I'd rather live with shovelware than censorship."

And remember: This is about content, and they do point out that titles that are "trolling" and/or "illegal" will get deleted. I doubt asset flips and shovelware manages to dodge those points.

Quoting: GuestShouldn't Valve be doing the opposite? the amount of shovelware and asset flips that appear on steam, they just have no Quality Assurance at all in that regard, thank god for places like GOG where they don't let any P.O.S software onto their store

Shovelware and asset flips isn't the problem being discussed. I do agree that it has to be hidden or removed, but this is about content - not quality.

The problem with asset flips shouldn't get any worse because of this. Really hope they find a decent way to make it better though.

Quoting: 14Speak for yourselves when you say you want to be offended. I'd rather not. Sure, let content exist and be purchasable on Steam that I don't care for at all. But if you do that, then let me "subscribe" to a curator or set of curators that can even control the front page.

Good news, the adult filter should already take care of parts of it :)

You can also filter based on tags, apparently. So, if you really dislike certain features, genres or topics you can do it there too.

Quoting: LeonardKFrom a morale POV I find this... troubling, we cannot just all decide to not take responsibility because everything is kind of a shared media.

Wouldn't a company deciding what is good and bad for you also be troubling from a morale POV?
Personally I'd rather be disgusted by something, rather than knowing that someone got censored.

And, just like this discussion - people have different points of view. Different ideas, opinions. Censoring (more than required by law) would just be morally correct for the person deciding what's good and bad.

But, there is no perfect way to do this, however this is a much better result than I feared.

Now - I do hope that this will make them work harder on making their frontpage filters work properly, and even make them better!

EDIT: Making sure that asset flips and straight out technically bad games doesn't get as much exposure would of course be great. If someone wants to install one of the asset flips they could search for it and do what they want.

Saturday June 9th:

2v2 - 6PM UTC (EU)

The 1v1 was fine, but you actually seem to have set this one for 5PM UTC unless I'm mistaken. That's a proper shame as it means I'll have to skip my weekly sauna to play. :(

Any way you could reschedule it, or is it too late?

But you have two times within your region to pick between. Are both bad times?
