Oh, yeah: Valve released Deadlock into semi-open beta and it is going pretty well with 90K+ online (and growing every day)!

Deadlock is a third person MOBA — a dying genre where Valve are still the best. But it's also a hero shooter with noire victorian aesthetic. Select a character, choose a path on the map and push it to the enemy base: kill creeps and other players, get new gear to progress mid battle.

Feels good, IMO ☺️

It's a nice device to play indie games and old projects on the go or on the couch. I have been using similar devices since 2017 and perfect as a companion gadget (when you have a good gaming PC and want to be mobile from time to time).

Typical #Valve experience, I love their creativity

GOG decided to reply to Valve, reminding that games on GOG are DRM free and can't be taken away from the user.

Before that Valve under pressure of several local regulations started to show a small warning during the purchase: they are now clearly saying that you are not buying games on Steam and will only have a digital license for it.

It appeared that any model in CS2 can be replaced with any other model, which made the game unplayable on public servers.

Not playing it (and never liked CSGO/CS2), so can't say much. According to ones who do, the issue has been patched out in a matter of days.

Someone managed to release a malware containing game on Steam. It took Valve 2 days to find it out, take down the game, and announce the issue to anyone who played it.

This already happened before, but keep in mind that even Apple Store checkup can be passed by blatant malware these days.
