NowGamer: Valve wants the public to test never-before-seen games and hardware products, according to a post on the Steam forums.
Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
Dive into the best Metroidvania games on Steam, from hidden gems to top-rated classics, and embark on unforgettable adventures!
Sign me up. Valve know their shiz.
Expect there will be NDAs. Would be well up for testing Valve's headset with CS:GO/L4D2/HL3 though.
Valve's console(Steambox???) and Half-Life 3???
...and then i fainted....
"you're welcome to fill out the survey no matter where you live as we may have plans for remote playtests in the future. Thanks for your interest in helping us make better products!
You can hit the link to take the Playtester survey though Valve confirmed that it is "looking to add international support in the future. For now though, playtesting will be US only."
They are just awsome..
The mention of motion-sickness makes me think VR headset. Has to be.
