Steam has made some poor choices in the past, and it seems like they are coming back to bite them on the backside. And it is not even funny any more.
Do you remember the times when Steam was actually moderated? Me neither, it has been so long since it became just a cesspool for anything that can be vaguely called "a game", half-baked ideas, half-finished projects, permanent early access titles, a playfield for home-grown weirdoes and hunting ground for predatory companies. Oh yeah, and pirates and hackers as well.
If you missed that information, Steam was a home for stolen games from indie companies, who someone else published on the platform, of course, without the consent of the developers. Steam has removed them later, but the stench of lack of moderation still lingers.
Some time ago, payment operators decided to cut down on the risky business of dealing with transactions for games of, let’s put it nicely, doubtful gaming value (yes, the sexual ones), which drew to the surface the whole ugly business to the surface. The Steam, making money on some weirdoes demanding access to their content and screaming about censorship. Yeah, tell it to your girlfriends.
And recently articles popped up about a literal malware was being available on the Steam. The not that funny thing about it, it was not even the first time this year such thing happened. If it wasn’t for the story of streamer losing savings that he was gathering for his cancer treatment, it most likely would never even reach the media.
But on the other hand, Gabe Newell bought himself a luxury yacht building company, so at least that is nice, right?

It seems like the media in the gaming industry has still a lot to learn from the examples such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Anthem - hype is not everything. Why do I mention it? No, I’m not gonna talk about Cyberpunk 2077 again, some other title caught my attention and by pure coincidence it was a Polish game as well.
Another month and another case of gaming companies trying to outbid each other who will come up with worst idea. And, oh boy, do they got good at it.
A hacker forum was just hacked and some data of about 300,000 wannabe criminals were leaked. Hashtag sadface, right?
If you browse through any of many websites offering users chance to vote for the games you will notice one interesting thing - even though the scale is usually between 1 and 10 it is hard to find a game that would be outside of the range between 6 and 9.
Bethesda has done it again, and no one is surprised. Yes, they shot themselves in the foot and soon they will run out of feet to sacrifice. This time it was the Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition.
