Basically, part of googles search algorithm involves how many locations a website is listed. And the reputation of the site that the new one is linked on. For example getting your website a link from cnn.com grants more legitimacy (and therefore higher on search results) than being linked on...

Where'd my game go?: This is really more of a gaming media issue than a steam issue. If a game is on steam, its extremely easy to find, every game has a list of similar games next to it to organically feed into other games. The fact is you won't be able to find every game on a generated list of...

Kibeth41 point is you get *something* basically that you can put up a slot machine if it is guaranteed to at least hand out cracker jack prizes every time. (even if the only reason anyone is actually playing is the 1/100000 chance of getting a big pile of money) As long as you can look the other...

I agree. Why is valves slot machine gambling OK while the other sites e-sports betting not? Any reason that the key/crate slot machine would be legal/illegal is equally valid for gambling on match outcomes.

I honestly have no idea why anyone could defend the cheat selling company. Do you defend crypto wall writers who literally ransom peoples files back to them because the extortioners are based in a country that has no laws or will to enforce them for foreign victims? Blizzard does lots of...

Grey, brown, and desaturation in general is considered more serious than vibrant bright colors. Both directions can draw criticism. The FPS of a few years ago were lambasted for all being dreary or black and using the power of newly created systems to create bland. Diablo 3 was initially...

as well ass Roosevelt's own unit Might need to run that by an editor.

Yeah. The issue with the statement "1080p will see no difference" is that unless it specifically has limiters built into it to only use x% of the hardware, then there will be differences. Even if the framerate is locked at 30, there are games which in certain scenarios stutter less than that...

I think in the long run it is good for smaller games too. Do you want to spend your $10 on a developer you have never played before? Or just spend 20 on something that is actually a little polished.. Refunds allow you as a customer to take a chance on unknown stuff. In reality, Steam has done...

Following the law is a good baseline for dictating behavior. Not 100% but its a start. Also just because something was done before doesn't mean we accept it now. We used to let kids work in steel mills, yeah they *might* fall into molten iron, but something always might happen. Also as times...

Narrative and gameplay wise, this makes it easier. But I 100% understand from a player standpoint. Part of the fun of a sequel is seeing the progression of characters and the world. That said, XCOM always had some GAPING holes in it. Like the fact the aliens were able to travel to Earth, but...

I think it sucks. There are plenty of movies and books that depict things just as bad as GTAV. Hell the NYT bestseller for the last year was 50 shades of gray. Which was a BDSM-light romance novel. This is the gaming equivalent of one of the many "dating" games. I guess I am just sad that an...

Power is the ability to enact change. Physical power enables you to change objects, political power allows you to change the course of policies.

You can crap on TOR all you want, but as of now it is likely second in MMO subs in NA. That puts it as "A leader". WAR, Rift, and what seems like a hundred others were in the position even if for but a precious moments. It is now theirs to lose (or keep).

Potato skin has more potassium than a banana. Problem is most common serving of potato is to remove the skin deep fry it and cover it in salt. Which would make any food in the known world unhealthy.
