Perhaps no one will argue that over the past few years, the catalog of the Steam digital distribution service has grown like yeast. And now, when Valve I launched the Steam Direct program, the developers of the video game have even fewer obstacles to lay out their creation for public display. So, the number of releases is about to promise to pass for all conceivable frames.
According to the calculations of the analyst Niko Partners Daniel Ahmad (Daniel AHMAD), the number of new games that started in Steam in the nine months of 2017, has already exceeded this indicator in 2015 (as well as the totality of all releases from 2006 to 2014), and will soon catch up with the 2016 record and the record of 2016. The specialist is convinced that by the end of December, a total of 5,000 items will appear on the platform. And this is largely due to the Steam Direct service, which from the moment of its opening in June has helped to convey to users already 1300 computer games.

I am so happy that this year we have more spinner simulators than in the past.
I hope in 2018 I can play different spinners simulators every day.
You know that all this https://gambliicasino.uk/games/ reminds me? 1983 gaming industry crisis. Valves do not study at all on Atari mistakes? The sign was replaced, and on Vyurau, the same bunch of shit without quality control.
Everyone is satisfied: valves row money with a shovel, clouds of newly developers are beating that they are sold in Steam. Everyone understands perfectly well that this is an extensive path to nowhere. BUT! Everyone is waiting for the “process self -regulation”, like, sooner or later everything is tired itself) and you know, probably they are right))
Now in the list of recommendations you can dig out of 50 pieces of 1 or 2 games more than the estate of normal games, and then that 1 out of 200, 1 out of 500, 1 out of 1000.
Oh, let it be for you. Sicks about Zup is so trite. If you poke your finger, then in the real indicator of current problems.
For a huge contribution to the Steam game base, you can thank this developer. Tomorrow he will release the sixth part of Zup so expected by many!
Is the project in early access is considered to be released? If I understand correctly, then the statistics indicate the number of eminent projects
By the way, yes, it managed to buy me as two parts of the hero’s Yonota and there are differences only in the picture against the background and +100500 aces (about 20pcs were poured for one completed task.), but the one who I bought I liked it, but for the first time I really wanted to regain my 48 rubles!
Well, maybe of course I should not have fallen off and reach the end of the list of recommendations about a year ago, but at the moment one pixel game or echoing crafts on the knee are raining there. (It is very difficult to find something sensible to yourself there!)
But these are the latest games that are added to Steam, before the summer sales I did not have offers on the list, and after that the moment came when you can dig out of 50 pieces of 1 or 2 games more, normal games.
I did not wait, I did not buy and I will not play any of them. I will not unveil about the quality of the games, maybe there are really good projects and developers invested the soul. But I personally have these 1300 games to the light bulb. Only with every sale to find something good among, excuse me, the rest of the slag is becoming more and more difficult.
But the GOG recently dug up The Suffering from the miserable and this is very healthy. I, as an “old school player”, is closer to the old and proven.
No longer means better. Since 2014, it seems, the number of indie games (among which a lot of garbage) has grown every 10. Now it seems like Steam Greenlight has been removed, but still there are no less games.
There are rights, there are no sources. All parts in Uplay have always been sold even before GOG. All rights to sword and magic at the anniversaries.
Um, but did Steam Direct should not have been better to moderate the whole thing and reduce the number of low -quality projects on the shelves of the magazine?
Well, here, brother, the list of recommendations seems to be on the analysis of your library and the virtue depends. I sometimes look there and find rather suitable things like FoxHole and Squad. I even bought the latter and grunted there for 90 hours, I’m going to take the first one too.
Steam Direct removed a number of fraudulent schemes. Previously, for 100 bucks, you could lay out as many games as you like (I do not think that it was a problem to lead them through Greenlaite). Now you have to lay out 100 bucks for each game. So, you need to expect that your game can get at least 100 bucks in the end. This was eliminated by a number of developers who posted dozens of games, making small profits from them (after all, it was not necessary to pay for a new game). But there is no moderation now in principle. Although I doubt that the situation is much worse than with a greenhouse (after all, Greenlaite also missed a rare slag).
Direct three months by force. Once upon a time, the games were allowed into Greenlyite for free, and then they decided to set the price. I end in the fact that the valves will look at the result, analyze, and increase the size of the contribution to improve the regulation of new games.
