Steam did not actually change anything about its API or web pages, rather, the default setting for all users was set to Private, when it was Public before. This of course killed SteamSpy overnight, as it needed a large and representative sample size of publicly accessible accounts to accurately predict sales numbers.
Sergiy is still getting almost $10K per month.
Just checked out the Patreon. Wonder who those 700 people are. Maybe some gaming analysts who think it's still worth paying for it?
From what I've heard it's mostly indie developers who can't justify paying professional analysts, so it's a rather small fee for getting valuable information about the market they're gonna release their game in.
This is going to be the RA2 remaster that I have been waiting for.
Is there any proof they Seven Pirates H was banned from Steam (and is it even on other stores? I can't find anything about it)? Because I've never heard of it and even though I don't doubt that it would be banned, the publisher EastAsiaSoft isn't really a PC publisher so I just don't think there ever was a plan to release it on PC.And yes here it's like you said some games are uncensored on Steam and censored on Switch. That's why I think Steam and Nintendo Switch are the best combo for the people who like indies.
F.e. Seven Pirates H was banned on Steam, but can be found on Switch (and well-known Ecchi PC Stores)

He saw the sinking ship and left. By sinking ship I'm not talking about Epic but rather EGS and how I would imagine that a lot of things related to it will be getting axed. So no major changes and it will mainly remain the same.
It's more like that Epic is going full ahead with Fortnite as metaverse platform and it will possibly try to integrate Epic Store and Epic published games into it.
technically this is wrong, the API was sligthly changed later, specifically API achievement data stopped providing data with 16 digits of precision which was needed for the new estimate method that came after the GPDR made profiles go private by default.
What will the Epic Game Store do without its invaluable Steam Spy data!
In all seriousness, it was annoying when Valve started to default to private data, there were articles going around like this
And adding to the list of things Sergiy was publicly ridiculing Valve over at the time and come to find out he was literally working with a competitor behind the scenes...
Not only Epic published games. EGS, EOS and all efforts to launch EGS on mobile are meant to lock 3rd party devs and publishers in Epic's Metaverse as well. I can't be more happy that they failed hard (although UE and/or EOS integration in so many recent games is still worrying)
That seems like a dumb comparison. I would imagine that 8.3 million peak across all platforms and not just PC right? Or was Fortnite that huge in 2018 that 8.3 million were playing on PC and you had like 30+ million playing on PlayStation alone (after all Epic said PS was their biggest money maker)
And now Fortnite is down to ~2.5 million while Steam is up to ~9.5 million in game and ~30 million in client.
Wait so you're saying that when Sergey joined Epic Fortnite had 8 million CCU and Steam had only 5 million.
And now Fortnite is down to ~2.5 million while Steam is up to ~9.5 million in game and ~30 million in client.
(Or maybe I just look in the wrong places).Yeah I know, I shouldn't have written "I dunno why they did that". I do know... I just dont like it. But alas, also dont care much
I think you would lose, EGS will last for a little while more I think, if only because betting on Tim's ego seems a safe bet.
So I should be able to pick up MGS collection this month after all! You know, barring a meteorite barreling towards me one night.
I know that's old as shit now but that number isn't super impressive if you start dividing it up to: Playstaion, XBOX, PC, Mobile, Nintendo vs Steam (just PC)
Here's your metaverse.
And now Fortnite is down to ~2.5 million while Steam is up to ~9.5 million in game and ~30 million in client.
Yeah it was disingenuous comparing multiple platforms to one. The all time peak was 15 million for a live event in December 2020. Based on a document from the Apple trial, Fortnite PC was at around 650k CCU in February 2020. My own personal guess is today Fortnite PC is probably around Dota 2 levels (i.e. 600k-700k CCU) and was probably doing 1.5-2 million during its peak.
Li Kao!Page 2 is shit, don’t do page 2 boys and girls. I have too many quotes that will make for a boring post.
That said. Puddinggggggg !
Realms Deep was packed, 3:40 of games ! Incredible ! Unfortunate that I didn’t find anything catching my eyes, but at the same time this is a type of games that tends to naturally grow out of word of mouth if they are good. Not exactly fascinating to watch in a trailer.
I still noted Caliph something, Isles of the Caliph ? And evidently Cultic interlude.
As for already released games, I’m intrigued by Eggwife, and Postal Brain Damaged.
Is the Postal series good ? Are there good or bad episodes ? I always avoided it, thinking it was bottom of the barrel.
Sadly, Albert is only talking in general terms here, but it's going to be interesting to see the changes from the fan translation's localisation choices to the official one. Tsukihimates created a glossary of the terminology used in Tsukihime, and these have been consistency-checked with other T-M titles which uses the same terminology.
the American Gas Association also asked some influencers to flaunt their gas stoves with the goal of targeting “hispanic millennials,” “design enthusiasts,” “promising families,” and “young city solos.”hey, look, more good news:
Electric stoves are increasing in use and there was a big hubbub about regulation on gas stoves. So the gas industry is getting pissy.
