Steam Cleaned: Valve Gives More Shady Devs The Boot


About a week ago I published an editorial talking about the existence of games on Steam that cost a lot of money and don’t exactly justify their price. Titles that look like mobile ports or Unity shovelware that nobody seems to play and not only are being sold for money but a lot of money … Continue reading “Steam Cleaned: Valve Gives More Shady Devs The Boot”

Steam Cleaned: The Mysterious Library Of $200 “Games”


I’ve come across a rather strange phenomenon on Steam and it revolves around games that look like asset flips and sell for $200. Where do these games come from? Who are they selling to? Why are they priced at two hundred smackeroos? Are they all money laundering schemes? I don’t recommend going to the links … Continue reading “Steam Cleaned: The Mysterious Library Of $200 “Games””

Bad Press: Reuters Uses School Shooter To Blame Video Games Again


It wouldn’t be a day ending in Y if incompetent “journalists” and opportunistic politicians weren’t using the death of children to forward an agenda of nonsensical fear. Cue in this week where an 11 year old in Mexico entered a school and shot a teacher and six others before killing himself. The culprit? Video games … Continue reading “Bad Press: Reuters Uses School Shooter To Blame Video Games Again”

Whatever Happened To: Those City of Heroes Successors


Every once in a while I get an email asking “Connor, why don’t you talk about those various City of Heroes successor games?” That’s an oddly specific question, and one that harkens back to a time where any article I wrote about NCSoft would result in a flurry of emails threatening to boycott my website … Continue reading “Whatever Happened To: Those City of Heroes Successors”

2019 Developer Report Cards: Bethesda Softworks


There should be no surprises in this report card. Bethesda’s performance in 2019 indicates a company that has become wholly incompetent and is either incapable of or unwilling to fix its flaws, but instead has chosen time and time again to double down on everything that it does wrong and throw consequence into the wind. … Continue reading “2019 Developer Report Cards: Bethesda Softworks”

Sony’s Cartridge Patent May Mean Absolutely Nothing


With Disney Plus launching on Tuesday and Google Stadia not out for over a week, it’s time to set our sights on 2020 and that can only mean one thing; Next gen console speculation. Letsgodigital is reporting that Sony has filed a patent for a game cartridge in Brazil. Not a whole lot about the … Continue reading “Sony’s Cartridge Patent May Mean Absolutely Nothing”

Free Steamy Sundaes: October 20 Edition


Today’s Free Steamy Sundaes is brought to you by caffeine, toxic consumer advocacy, and viewers like you. I don’t know how to casually introduce a new column I had the idea for while shopping for a new coffee grinder, so I’m just going to refer to Free Steamy Sundaes like it’s been going on for … Continue reading “Free Steamy Sundaes: October 20 Edition”

Google Gives Us Another Reason To Have No Faith In Stadia


Google Stadia is one of the few places where your money would be better invested in Enron stocks or Zimbabwe currencies. Now, those of you who read MMO Fallout will know that I consider Google Stadia to be a multi-million dollar scam. Here you have a company selling you a service where you are forced … Continue reading “Google Gives Us Another Reason To Have No Faith In Stadia”
