With the PlayStation Network having its security compromised, many users of Steam who linked their accounts up on the PS3 or PC, are worried about their security too.

Thank god, If my Steam account was affected by this I'd be raging at Sony, luckily even if it was affected it wouldn't be hard to retrieve.

I think Steam has had a good security jump specially with Steamguard added on. If the Steam account is given its own exclusive Email account and that email account is never used on the computer that you use Steam on, it is literally impossible to hack a Steam account.

zeksta4770d ago

Yeah, the Steam Guard system that Valve added was a very good move, it's protecting a lot of peoples accounts (Verified at least) and preventing hackers from getting them!

Theo11304770d ago

The truth is in the pudding, gabe gave out his account info and password just to prove it worked. I tried logging in to his account and it wouldn't let me, maybe sony can learn from valve

@Theo

Both the systems work in a different way PSN is a unified system, it is required for the PS3 user to go online and play games. Steam is different even if you are in offline mode you can still launch a game play online(unless its some steamworks game like TF2 or so).

Hence in the situation where the network was to go down:

PSN down: nothing is playable

Steam down: asides the steamworks games everything is playable.

Cool some good news for a change

We should all just use steam

Ranshak4770d ago

There is over 500 Multiplats released this gen alone. If you count the exclusive then no platform has more then 10 exclusives that you really would like to own the platform for.

Which brings us to a conclusion that most games are multiplat.

With Steam not only are those same multiplats cheaper then console versions, they also likely will last alot longer, since with console we dont know if the game we buy today will be playable on the next box. With Steam BC is 99% gauranteed.

Even if Steam went down. Every game sold is sold with a CD Key. Keep that Key safe and you can download the game from any place and start playing again.

always good to know that the steam account is safe...

Nice. It's really cool that PC players get to play this masterpiece.

PrinceOfAnger10h ago

It has surpassed spider man now
it's 71k+
game did this with way shorter time than spider man.

RNTody8h ago

Great, I loved this game. Definitely think it's Sucker Punch's best work to date!

rippermcrip8h ago

Is this going to be the new thing thing? Articles about Steam reviews? Which of course was in response to the false article about the review bombings in the first place.

Christopher5h ago

Hey, just a heads up that the new owners did open news to Steam updates, but we try our best to not allow them to go on daily updates unless relevant to some other news. I understand this isn't everyone's cup and tea and sympathize, but the door has been open. If you feel it's 'too much' please do PM me or submit a ticket to the mod team. Thank you.

Bro literally has saved you from having to type the letter "g", clicking once on "ghosts of tsushima" to see how reviews sit, then having to click a SECOND TIME on "Community Hub" button ALL THE WAY at the top right (shout out to the necks of the 45" and up ultrawide crew) and looking and current player count... and your response is to complain about that?

GamerzElite8h ago

This is good game and Ghost eliminate all fake outrage.

CrimsonWing696h ago(Edited 6h ago)

I always get confused by this, but is 72k good sales numbers for a game? I keep seeing games fail at selling 2.5 million and that they need to be on multiple platforms but is an additional 72k adding much?

Fishy Fingers6h ago

Im not sure how its confusing :\

72k actively playing. Not 72k sold.

A good example is Helldivers 2, 6m sold, 450k (at its peak) active players.

But how many swords swung is what we're all really waiting for.

Crows906h ago

72k is concurrent
...that is not the sold figure.

Michiel19896h ago

for one they already had a huge launch on the playstation, they don't need to sell 5m to make the porting to pc profitable and as pointed out below that number you see is just the people playing it at this moment.

Plague-Doctor273h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Also from the insomniac leak we know these PC ports are a quick turnaround and budgeted around $2-4 million. At 100k sales they break even including Steams cut. They may not sell millions but they are a great ROI
