You know, with stuff like this, I wonder if Rance games and other Alicesoft products will ever reach Steam, seeing that Rance is a white straight male who frequently rapes girls without mercy, sometimes kills children and worse, seeing that they're banning visual novels for much less than that.

Just a small heads-up for those still bothering with the Steam Trading Cards: Valve has decided to stop users from getting card drops from games that are 'free' for a limited time, such as the recent giveaway titles Geneshift and Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion.
The reason seems to be bots, as Geneshift had an average player count of 30, then suddenly spiked to 213.000 in the last 24 hours.
Valve, as of yet, has not commented.

"Best Developer” proved to be a highly-contested category with a lot of close calls among the top nominees. As a result, we expanded the set of nominees to 10. In addition, we’ve excluded ourselves from this category. We appreciate the love you’ve shown us, but we want to honor the other awesome developers on Steam, so we have excluded Valve from the final tally.

I'm pretty sure the "fun with a machine" that people had with NieR: Automata is not the same as the one steam means.

So, which VR game should I pick when I never played a VR game?
I wonder how many people who vote in these polls never played anything from the lists.
What are the chances PUBG doesn't win "game of the year"?
Will the campaign to vote Bethesda "Best Developer" for the lulz catch on?
So many questions.
I guess I'll just press some buttons.

I picked Skyrim VR just like I picked Eurotruck in the machines category. I'll only be happy when Skyrim and Eurotruck win an award every year on Steam.

Because Fallout 76 isn't sold on steam.
Dang, I forgot there are games beyond Steam.

What'd you all pick up in the Steam Sale? I wanted to try Parkitect but it's still full price. Not sure if I'll pull the trigger on anything.

A handful of cheap adventure games, Battle Brothers DLC expansion, Rising Storm 2 (been a while since I fps'd shit and christmas event seems like fun), The Council, Dead State finally kek, Beholder franchise bundle, some other cheap stuff. Not that much to be honest keeping my spending under 70 dollars because none of the stuff I really desired was marked down all that much.

GOTY: Kingdom Come Deliverance. Not my GOTY, but it's the best out of the list.
VR GOTY: Skyrim VR because Todd managed to get people to buy Skyrim again
Labor of love: Stardew Valley. A lot of effort went into the game and feels like the first true Harvest Moon game since the N64.
Best Developer: CD Projekt Red. None of the others are even in the same league as CDProjekt sans maybe Digital Extremes.
Best Environment: Witcher 3
Better with friends: Payday 2
Best alternate history: Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Most fun with a machine: Nier: Automata
rate pls
