What the fuck? This is like back during the Atari era. We're on the verge of another crash soon.
>>
>>731042703
It will never crash retard. It's the latest propaganda outlet. The system will prop it up.

i've played 300 games on steam and never once reviewed one

>>731042859
I reviewed one way back when to get some summer event tickets for TF2 sunglasses.

Whatever you say, dude.

This. I have literally one review and all it says is "Fun. Can I have my ticket now?"

I only review games which either left me incredibly satisfied and deserved the review OR something that had some infuriating flaw that made me hate the game

The steamie defense force is in full action itt!

The two games he mentioned in the article that he feels deserve more attention.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2379230/Blessed_Burden/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3521300/tuna_hakes_underwater/

Admittedly, the first one looks cool.
>>
All of them were AI so who cares?
>>
>>731042703
Most of them are garbage indies that cost like a penny to make and asset flips
>>
Why is this a problem?
>>
there's no barrier to entry anymore, literally just give valve $100 and they throw it right up there on the store. Bitcoin miners and malware and infoscrapers and all.

Should have stuck to console superiority faggot at least back in the 2000's the indie scene had some quality control but as a result we got better games that got lots of cheap advertising by Microsoft and Sony for stuff like XBLA summer
>>
>>731043596
This has nothing to do with Steam and none of the posts preceding yours are 'defending' Steam at all. You can find horses of trash barely anyone has played on places like Itch too, Steam is just the biggest video game flea market there is
>>
ios/android appstore is even worse. they host literal malware like steam but they dont care to remove it.
>>
Greenlight was the best compromise, but it was gamed way too much with people just buying indians and chinese to spam their greenlight submission to make it look popular.
>>
>>731042703
PC/Digital markets will never crash (like they did in the Atari era) because unlike physical stores, PC markets aren't limited by shelf space and customers don't have to dig through mountains of shit just to find the good games. Thank Steam for that.

The Wii had insane amounts of shovelware

What's the best game you have found on steam that had less than 10 reviews? For me it's picrel
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1745560/The_Oldest_Edda/
Great platformer. Kinda feels like Castle Crashers.

this is supposed to be bad?

I don't know how its better to not even have the option to seek games outside of one official company-sanctioned marketplace

This only China matters now they making the best games

God willing, this actually happens.

Japan didn't make Concord, the Asscreed games, Homeworld 3, etc.

Holy shit I actually bought/played/finished that when it came out. It was great fun. though a bit short.

That's not what's happening though and it's not like the Atari era crash either, it's just no one has money

It's time to curb the endless wave of indie trash. How about a gamedev license?
>>
>>731042703
Atari era sucked balls because there was no digital storefront yet. So in turn physical stores had physical copies of games that weren't selling and inturn caused loss of sales overtime. Atleast with steam, valve isn't loosing money for keeping games up since its digital.
>>
>le video game crash
100% shit zoomers learned from youtubers and keep spouting like it means anything.
>>
>>731042703
this is normal. something like 99% of books that get written are read by under 10 people as well. it's just power law distribution stuff
>>
>>731042859
you should review the games you like. it's something nice you can do for the devs
>>
Why on earth would the market crash because of AI shovelware that no one plays?
>>
>>731042703
That's not why the Atari era crash happened
