Video games and industry news with emphasis on meta discussion. In practice this is a chronicle of death of western game development and societal descent into technofeudalist dystopia.

It is permissible to praise Valve, Steam and Gabe Newell here on the condition that you explicitly state that you still don’t like them. This can be a disclaimer in your post or comment but I encourage doing so in your user flair for convenience. Failing to do so will result in a ban. This rule will be enforced with an iron fist.
