Multiple developers posted it in multiple places despite Valve asking otherwise. But you know how that goes.
Valve is planning on shipping a full-on update-sized Team Fortress 2 update — with items, maps, taunts, unusual effects, war paints and "who knows what else" this year.
They're asking to get submissions into the Steam Workshop by May 1st.
Valve has recently made changing your store country more strict, which requires completing a purchase using a payment method from that country.
This should hinder the ability of using VPNs to buy games cheaper.
#SuicideSquadGame
only peaked at 7k players on the first day of early access on Steam.
Thanks to a community member for donating the 100$ deluxe version to our bot so we are able to track the player numbers.
Valve is possibly working on a handled Steam console called "SteamPal" (codename Neptune).
Beta client update added plenty of references including controller bindings, new UI strings such as quick access menu, system settings (airplane mode, wifi, bluetooth) and a power menu.
Valve's "Neptune" controller shows up in latest Steam client beta again.
It's named "SteamPal" (NeptuneName) and it has a "SteamPal Games" (GameList_View_NeptuneGames)
Half-Life 2 and its episodes have received a beta update which includes Vulkan (DXVK) support, HUD tweaks (scaling, aspect ratio), and bug fixes.
Valve is likely fixing up their games for the Steam Deck.
💸 SteamDB has migrated to the new LATAM and MENA prices.
You can compare to old currencies because we made first history point a conversion from the old one.
What games have good prices in new regions?
Steam Workshop submissions now pass through moderation staff for approval before the item becomes publicly visible.
This is designed to prevent scams and account theft in the Steam Workshop.
