Even that isn’t exactly novel but I’d be interested to see it operated outside of the closed, pre-designed environment they showed it off in. I would be willing to bet good money that it operates in this exact environment but couldn’t replicate this stunt - or really do anything of note - in a “live” environment. We’ve seen this from masturbatory rich person marketing stunts before many times.

I get what they’re trying to say, but it’s a weird take.

If you know what you’re looking for, finding a game on Steam is trivial. You type in the name, you find the game. Any company can do external advertising, and if someone finds out about their game and wants to buy it on Steam, they can do that.

The ‘issue’ is that there’s tens of thousands of games on Steam so if you’re relying on Steam to advertise your game, or relying on people just happening across it, you’re going to be out of luck if you’re not a big title, and honestly, I don’t think that’s Steam’s problem. In fact, I’d argue that Steam is doing more than they could reasonably be expected to do - they’re a storefront, and obviously what they want to promote visibility on is the products that’re going to sell the best. The fact that they have things like curators and ‘For You’ recommendations and sales and things that smaller developers can use to increase visibility on their games is more than most storefronts offer. If you want to find something in itch.io, for instance, and you don’t know what you’re searching for, it’s extremely difficult. Same goes for Humble, and to a lesser extent GoG.

So I guess my feeling is, yes, it’s a problem, but it seems to be set up often times as Steam’s problem, and I don’t think it is.
