EA is still selling Mirror's Edge Catalyst. It does not work without manually patching it. How can this be legal in any ways?

Game tries to ping EA server on startup and will crash if it can't reach it.

This server has been permanently shut down.

As you can see, I have played 88 hours of Elden Ring. However, on my profile front page it says 86. Does anyone know why this might not sync? I have played a bit of Elden Ring on steam deck offline, but the cloud and local saves are synced up. Not a big issue, but it's a minor irritant for me!

Hey! This has probably been posted before, but I thought I would throw this up here in case it hasn't been talked about or just to boost the idea.

Lots of games recently have been using AI either in production or the final art itself and developers have lied or hidden it when showing it om the store. They know players don't want this, so they just don't disclose, and Steam can't do much because, one, how can they know all the time and two, the more it is made appartent, the more likely devs are to lie about it.

So, time for some community policing! And its really simple. Of you find a game that uses AI (disclosed or not) just apply the "Artificial Intelligence" tag to it! Then, you can go to your profile and hide games with that tag. I started doing this and my front page has gotten SO much cleaner.

It also has the bonus of discouraging developers from using AI, since it makes these games really really hard to find for people who block the tag.

If people know of other methods, please drop them here as well. Community policing is probably the only way this is going to work at least for a while, so I am hoping if we make it a more standard practice on one of the biggest sales platforms for games on PC, it will help to send a message to devs that actually hits them where it hurts, thier ability to advertise, and, by extension, their wallet!

After a weekend (and a bit of Monday) with it, I can say I really like it. So far I only played 3 games with it. Skyrim Special Edition, Cyberpunk 2077, and Escape from Duckov.

Learning how to use and navigate Steam Input took a lot of time. Frankly it could use some improvements on saving and editing one's layouts.

The first game I played was Skyrim. This game can't switch between K&M and controller inputs well, so I keep the inputs to be the basic controller inputs. I just modified the left track pad to be a scroll wheel, so that I can scroll through my favorites smoothly. And I modified the right track pad to navigate through the player menus with a radial wheel.

The second game I played was Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk does a great job of switching between K&M and controller inputs. So well, it seems seamless! I used the left trackpad as a touch menu to quickly navigate to the different menus. And the right trackpad to activate the Quick-Access menu and treat it as if it was a radial menu. I also took the opportunity to use the gyro feature to aim weapons or steer vehicles. Aiming with gyro is awesome! I'm not as accurate with gyro compared to a mouse, but I found it a much better experience than with the analog stick! I did notice that there are times when there is a weird drift when activating the gyro. I don't think it's the controller, because whenever I open the steam overlay, I can see it's fine. Might be a weird thing between the game and Steam. And steering with gyro is cool! I just treat it like a steering wheel when I activate my layer for it.

And the third game is Escape from Duckov. This was the ultimate challenge and test for me since Duckov was not made with controllers in mind. I took a community layout and edited it to fit the way I would like it. Using the left stick (or left trackpad) to move while aiming with the right trackpad felt pretty good. There is this weird thing where the very left edge of the right trackpad is a dead spot, but only when I am moving around and aiming. When I tested the inputs through Steam, it was able to detect that area though. So probably just a weird interaction, just like in Cyberpunk. The game has different keys for the hotbar, and the inventory menu. While making my layout, I discovered the Global Set Options. Using this I was able to make it so that whenever a mouse cursor is on the screen (or off the screen) I can automatically change Action Set Layouts. One for normal in the world gameplay, and another for navigating the inventory or other menus. The trackpads make this awesome, because I can easily use the trackpads to navigate the GUI as if I had a mouse! I also made a touch menu, that I can switch to by holding an Action Set Layer, containing only the keys needed for other stuff. The keys would be for stuff like splitting items, or assigning items to hotbars.

So after a weekend (and some more) with the new Steam Controller, I can easily say I like it. The gyro feature and the extra buttons are awesome. But the biggest thing for me were the trackpads. They make playing K&M games very much possible!

Steam should give accounts that are older a priority when purchasing hardware like the controller, the machine, and the frame because they'll know that it's more likely going to a gamer than a scalper at that point.

For example say the release date for the steam frame is June 1st; accounts that are 10 years old would be able to buy on it the first, accounts that are 5 years old can buy on the second, 3 year old accounts can buy on the 3rd, and any other age account can buy on the 4th.

This would give a chance to those of us who are advid gamers and have been for a very long time the opportunity to buy this hardware before scalperss can steal all of it and put it up for triple or more price on other sites.

Then just limit the number of items that they can purchase to prevent them from buying extras.

all i want is confirmation that they are trying to fix this its been 2 hours :(((

It doesn't help the protest, it's just annoying.

I want to buy some NSFW games, but I have some family members that I am friends with on Steam. Lowkey don't want my cousins to know I want to play the entire Furry Shades of Gay trilogy.

Seriously, I don't think I'll be buying any Rockstar/Take Two games ever until they do something to apologize for their reaction to the steam summer sale.

"Oh hey, our game is on sale? Better force a bundle with online money that costs us nothing and Jack the price back up so we can be "on sale" for our regular retail value!"

Gtav was one of 4 games I was waiting till the summer sale to pick up (the others being mirrors edge, borderlands the pre-sequel, and Black Mesa, all of which I got on reasonable sales.)

Apparently I'll be getting my copy of GTAV from another well known website.

Seriously, shady dealings.

If they didn't want GTAV on sale fine, but to put it on sale the whole summer sale, and require a shark card bundle just so they got the extra front page of steam advertising was pretty skeezy.

For shame Rockstar/Take Two. For shame.

Edit:And the fact that valve let them do it is a little disappointing too.

Edit: thank you to the mod who contacted me about the ridiculous insult in the flair.

Ready or Not was recently censored, and now a massive ban on NSFW games on steam, using payment processors, this is getting a little crazy, censorship has always been a slippery slope, and right now I'm seeing videogames censorship on the rise, so, if I started an anti censorship petition on change.org, would you sign it? Would it be worth the time and effort? What should we do to prevent future censorship? I genuinely want to know.
