“already”
we are halfway through october.
I mean, it’s midway through October. That’s only a 12% increase. It’s the increase actually all garbage out is some of that growth just normal expansion of the platform?
Also, there are a lot of unemployed tech workers and game devs out there from years of constant layoffs.
I don’t want to blame all of this on vibe coded slop ware.
Doesn’t seem that bad to me. I only buy games I want to play.
This is the worst thing about Steam. All the shovelware and slop.
They really should clean up the joint and place tighter entry barriers.
I don’t mind the platform being open to allow everyone to publish games. There might be lot of bad games out there, yes, but it also brings more good games too. Instead limiting the publishing, we should (and if I say we, I mean mostly Steam) should make sure that games we want to buy or play are displayed mostly. The algorithm on Steam, communities, reviews, news media, and even advertisement does its thing. And it clearly works on Steam.
The whole slop coded games thing is the biggest reason why some people I know are starting to believe you should be required to have a revokable license to sell games. Slop code a game? License revoked and game cannot be sold for profit kinda deal.
Why are people like this.
