Ubisoft gets a lot of hate, but we can't deny that they have made some good, if not great games. Open world games. With lots of towers to climb. And most of those games are on sale this weekend on Steam, with pretty good discounts. For example every FarCry game (sans FarCry 5) is 60% off, and...

Puyo Puyo Tetris is out on Steam and it is published by SEGA. I've been playing it off and on for awhile and I highly recommend it for fans of Tetris or Puyo Puyo. The developers have patched the game quite regularly and it runs great on my Ryzen 1700 / Vega 64 system. You really have to get...

I received an email presumably from Valve but not 100 percent sure so of course I'm not clicking on anything or doing anything. No idea what to make of it. Here's what it says: I did not request this query so I'm "ignoring" it but I am going to scour any and all security right now. I'm...

The Steam Lunar New Year sale started yesterday, and is offering some decent deals for the gamers here. Who cares if you backlog of games goes all the way to Daikatana when Left 4 Dead 2 is only $1.99! To me the Steam Sales aren't what they used to be since they introduced refunds, but there...

Steam has added Wishlist filters that will allow you to now sort by discount percentage, which I am sure everyone will that likes Steam Sales will appreciate. You will now also be able to sort by game genre, early access, and unreleased games as well. Also, once you get your filters dialed in...

The Valve folks have kicked game developer Insel Games off of Steam for manipulating game reviews. Apparently, a redditor posted an internal email from the CEO that encouraged his employees to review their games on Steam. Valve investigated the issue and booted Insel Games. Moral of the story...

For quite a while I've been experiencing an odd issue with the vibration feature on my Xbox One controller when being used on Windows 10 with Steam. What happens is the vibration intensity varies greatly between each time it's activated. For example, in Doom when I jump or fire my weapon causing...

PUBG has set a new record of 3M concurrent players on Steam. However, to further put this number in perspective, 1.5M bans have been handed out since it's been out. I can't believe how popular it is and it just keeps growing and growing. However, I haven't tried it, but I'll give it shot...

Valve announced today that they are no longer going to accept bitcoin as payment for games on Steam. They say that the cryptocurrency is too volatile over the last few months and it's just not worth the trouble to them or their customers to continue using bitcoin as payment. Furthermore, until...

TL;DR The increased volatility of its value and high transaction fees are no longer economically feasible. https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1464096684955433613 RIP

I headed over to Steam to pick up Lone Echo. Hmm not there. (quick google) Ah, it's one of the Oculus exclusives. Has there been news about when Oculus exclusives will move to Steam? Are they shackled to the Oculus Store forever? I refuse to buy games that I'll lose when I leave the Rift...

My guardian system works perfectly in Rift games but when running steam VR games like Rec Room, there is no guardian system. Any idea why its not showing up in steam VR games? I do have oculus home running as well as steam VR. Thanks..

Got a 16 year old neighbor who needs a computer. He wants to play some Steam games, and the computers I can give him are very old. Would an AMD Phenom II x 4 830 be better than an Intel Q9550? What about a G3220? Each system would have 8GB DDR3 and a low end NVidia video card. (GT 730 or...

It seems as though cheaters love a Steam Sale as much as the rest of us. Over 40,000 Steam accounts were VAC banned the day after the sale ended. The graph is fairly impressive. July 5 was the last day of the Steam Summer Sale; subsequently, Valve cracked down on cheaters the next morning...

After playing 5-6 matches with my friend, screen just freezes during match. I am not sure if this could be an issue but I am playing pirate version ( don't blame me for that, I am going to buy original version tonight, but I am not sure should I because of this issue). I am running the game...

Payday 2 is releasing an Ultimate Edition and removing the DLC from the store, but they're giving away 5 million copies of the base game on Steam for free. I've logged a ton of hours in Payday 2. While I got a bit burned out, and stopped playing around the time of the microtransaction fiasco...

So there has been quite a bit of discussion about the Prey demo being a console-only release. And we are not the only ones that felt like the game was telegraphing suckage by doing so. So much in fact that Arkane Studios talked specifically about Prey being optimized for PC so as to not be a...

Steam - Big Data, Crowdsourcing, Explorers, & Curators - Have you ever used Steam to shop for a new game, when you did not know exactly what you wanted to buy, and found its way of organizing and sharing information with you a bit archaic? Me too! John Bain, aka TotalBiscuit is Steam's top...

Not a heavy gamer these days (perhaps even a filthy casual) but I have friends that play CS:GO so I decided to buy it myself. All my desktops at the moment are VMs running on a pair of Xenservers with GPUs passed-though. After playing a few rounds last night, getting back my CS legs, I found...
