Bored? These are the funniest indie games on Steam We have the video evidence.
It’s a rare treat when developers dare to enter the competitive video games market with something completely absurd — and their creations are actually entertaining. I would say it’s even the stuff of legends. Who on planet Earth hasn’t seen the endlessly hilarious Goat Simulator at this point? So buckle up and let’s get to it, and drop your own favorites in the comments (we might add it to our list). The Long Drive At first sight, this is just another indie driving simulator with a few exploring and crafting elements. But in practice, The Long Drive is a post-ironic ode to the tidal wave of indie survival games. Your…

Train Simulator now costs almost $10,000 with all DLCs You can buy a brand new car for less.
Meet Dovetail Games’ Train Simulator — currently the most expensive video game on Steam. The asking price isn’t much: a mere $30 depending on the region you’re in. It’s what comes after, if you want to get a good set of trains to play with, that makes the game run up a whopping total. (This is not counting gambling programs or being a whale in a mobile game like Clash of Clans, of course, where you can throw away millions if you’d like) As calculated on Steam itself per November 3, 2019, you’re going to need a grand total of $9,765.47 to own every single piece of downloadable content (DLC)…

Steam’s worst rated games of all time We decided to scrape the bottom of the Steam marketplace barrel and write about what we find.
Since Steam ended their Greenlight policy and opened the floodgates to anyone with a free copy of Unity and a bit of spare time, Steam’s mountains of crappy games have been the subject of some derision. It’s probably not a plot to send more traffic to curators and reviewers — … but it could be. Instead of shilling games you should buy right now, we decided to scrape the bottom of the barrel — some of the worst rated games around — and write about what we find. Most of these are not Tommy Wiseau tier games, entertainment so bad it actually becomes good again. So ask yourself why you…

Steam game offers 41% discount and now people want the devs dead And the harassment campaign is backfiring big time, with Heartbeat shooting up the bestseller charts after support from prominent anti-bully activist.
The transvestite community’s campaign against indie RPG Heartbeat has reached a fever pitch after learning that Chumbosoft is discounting their game by 41% on Steam, with some now even calling for the developers to be executed. The number 41 is interpreted as a reference to the attempted suicide rate among men who suffer from a mental illness that causes delusions about turning into women. One sicko with pronouns in they’s bio tweeted, “the devs of this game should not have beating hearts.” (archive) Not really one to support violence but damn if someone doxxes the guy who made #HEARTBEATRPG and their body ends up in a ditch somewhere i wouldn’t…

Steam Link Anywhere offers new innovations to gaming Valve is introducing a new “game streaming everywhere” service with Steam.
Valve has long since dominated the PC gaming landscape with its online retail service, Steam, but its dominance has allowed the company to collect a bunch of money and get real lazy about innovating its own service. With Steam now facing steep competition against the likes of Discord, Epic Games, and Twitch, Valve is introducing a new “game streaming everywhere” service with Steam. Reported earlier this week on PC Gamer, Valve has revealed plans ahead of GDC to launch two potentially major new features for Steam that are now in “early beta.” Steam Link Anywhere enables streamed gaming to any compatible device, and Steam Networking Sockets APIs, which grant developers…

‘Rape Day’ video game tests Steam content policy “A game where you can rape and murder during a zombie apocalypse.”
A new video game promises to allow players to fulfill their darkest rapist fantasies in a zombie apocalypse scenario. The game is called Rape Day, and it is set to launch on Valve’s Steam gaming platform. The description is plain and straightforward: “Rape Day is a game where you can rape and murder during a zombie apocalypse.” According to the listing’s “about” section, Rape Day puts players in the role of a “serial rapist during the zombie apocalypse,” and encourages the player to “verbally harass, kill, and rape women as you choose to progress the story.” “It’s a dangerous world with no laws. The zombies enjoy eating the flesh off…

Game dev tries to take down youtuber’s video for calling his crappy game a ‘load of crap’ Some people just can't take criticism.
The lead developer for the widely panned game, The Art of Stealth, complained on Steam’s message boards that a youtuber’s video review of his game was in violation of copyrights. Youtuber Jim Sterling had posted a strongly worded review, calling the game a “load of crap.” The developer, Matan Cohen, then tried to enlist the help of the Steam community by pointing to rules set by YouTube regarding use of game footage in videos. “Jim Sterling has no respect to software engineers who learned programming in university for 5 years and work hard to create a good game,” Cohen writes in the post. He also says of Sterling, “I wonder if this worm…

Digital Homicide sues 100 steam users for $18M because they criticized its terrible games Because no one is buying Digital Homicide’s crappy games, now they’ve tried changing their name.
For video-game developers, harsh criticism is nothing new. In fact, most games are absolutely torn to shreds on release by critics and consumers alike. Typically these developers drown their sorrows in cash, booze, or both. But Digital Homicide is no typical game developer. In March of 2016, it sued game critic Jim Sterling for posting a very unflattering review. They accused him of slander, libel and assault—all while trying to get $10 million out of him. This outrage came after Sterling (fairly) called their game Slaughtering Grounds a contender for “worst game of 2014.” After watching his review, I can’t help but agree. On March 16, Digital Homicide formally filed a lawsuit in Arizona…
