  Lmao well I don’t know what you want. If you want your PC to be secure, don’t use the Internet. You can’t expect every piece of software you come across to be perfectly vetted. In an ideal world sure everything would be foss and peer reviewed but that sure as hell ain’t the world we live in.

  Almost 14 thousand games released this year on steam. You could say malware is 100x more likely than the 4 publicly known instances you mention and that’s still not even 3% of games released. Steam is responsible but I don’t know how you expect them to get that down 0% besides manually reviewing game code line by line, which would probably destroy the platform. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good

  Really hope they move the clans to the base game. I never buy games at launch but if I’m interested enough will at the first sale. This one will heavily rely on reviews though lol

  Sometimes you can get deals even on launch pricing. I remember buying fallout 4 on green man gaming at launch for $10 off.

  Are you talking about an automatic curated suggestion list like how steam does? I don’t think there’s really anything like that. The site does have a community created lists section where people can create categories and add games to them while explaining their thoughts on it a little bit, like this.

  I’ve used it for a while. It’s good enough but you can tell it’s still early days for the site. It’ll sync your achievements and playtime with steam and gog so that’s cool but then it’ll lag a bit maneuvering around the site and remind you that the products not fully done. They also offer a premium subscription where you can get early access to features and other promotions but I haven’t ever really felt the need to get that. Honestly my biggest hangup is that they’re just newer; if the site dies then I’m concerned with all of my tracking just going poof one day since I write little journal entries for them to remind me how I felt about certain games. Overall it’s fine, but maybe check out some others first.

  They’ll just continue their focus on large western/Asian markets, it’s not like they need every country to be successful. They’ve been conditioned to just buy whatever AAA is put out
