This update is more important because before this, the awards granted the recipient steam points that they could trade for cosmetics to have even have a more legit looking account to try to scam people with. So the awards gave points and there was a clown award -> trolls post ragebait, often in the form of queer hate or fake queer demands, to farm clown awards for points. The hope is, that now that the recipients don’t get points anymore, the troll farming stops at least in part.
Usually the runner announces when it’s a good time for donations and then they’ll read a bunch during that segment and afterwards the runner and/or couch comment on the game again
Wow I did not expect such a grim looking game trailer
It was rejected because in the build they submitted for review a minor was riding a naked person with a horse mask and valve saw that as sexual which i find fair considering ponyplay being a thing. I understand valve wanting to distance themselves from anything involving a minor that could be seen as sexual
This got me thinking. One of the big things i like about steam is the ease of use on Linux and the achievements with the community profile and friends to share it with on top of it. So what if you made those features federated. A protocol that allows you to attach a game to it and log achievements and display them on friendica. You could also attach the executables from steam or gog or whatever you launch through lutris or heroic or whatever. I think atm Devs put in extra stuff to make steam achievements work but what if there was a common interface for it?
