Since Steam has already shown me over 3,000 games in past queues, it remains interesting to see where it will lead me next. I am reminded of all of the BitCoin mining simulators I saw during the summer sale.Īnd so it goes. That isn’t to say such a game cannot be good, and BRT has positive response so far, but it is not the only game of that sort out there, a couple of them look just like the cheap attempts to cash-in on a trend that we always see. There was also the warning sign games, the ones that indicate that the trend has ballooned dangerously, the games that start on the meta of the genre. We’re still in the point where the ideas have a bit of charm, like Super Animal Royale, where you play as creatures of the forest in a 64 player battle arena death match. Having slipped the anime porn thread Steam put me on to the Battle Royale trend, which I predicted will hit peak saturation this year as the me-to crowed tries to jump on for an easy win.
SUPER ANIMAL ROYALE PORN UPDATE
It was pointed out to me that I could avoid that sort of thing entirely by telling Steam to block all adult content, but then how would I get my quarterly update on what is lurking on the service. Ignoring a streak of those managed to get me out of that trap. I had not considered that Mine Sweeper could be used as a vehicle for titillation, but if you clear all the mines you get to see it all I guess.

But I put it on my wishlist to remember it only to have my next run through the queue filled with Hentai porn puzzle games. I can’t link that on the Steam web site because it is flagged as adult. This tends to be self-defeating as I will wishlist some of the silliest stuff just to reference later only to have Steam jump on that and show me more of the same.įor example, at one point it showed me the title Seed of the Dead, which was described as a “A heart-pumping fusion of zombie FPS and erotic dating sim!” complete with the usual set of Anime girls either bursting out of their blouse or in a too-small school girl uniform. Mostly though, the queue is for comedy as Steam tries to dredge up 36 titles it hasn’t shown me before based on what its algorithm thinks I like. She played it for a bit and said it was pretty good, if a bit more hard core than she expected. My daughter wanted that, so I bought her a copy. I thought MewnBase, a cats in space base building game, was interesting. Occasionally it shows me things I might like. I think the highlight of the sales for me these days are going through the daily queue of games Steam thinks I might like. And there wasn’t anything I was considering that I was going to jump on right away. We have long since been trained to wait for sales. Oh well, it isn’t like they won’t be coming back again. I was actually considering buying a couple, but for some reason it was in my head that the sale ended on the 4th rather than the 3rd, so when I logged in on the what I thought was the last day the sales were all done. I collected some cards, went through my queue every day, got my Steam level up to 20, and, like SynCaine, bought no games for myself. The 2018 Steam Winter Sale has come and gone.
