How many of those are $0.99 hentai titles with like an hour of gameplay, though.

And how many are nearly entirely AI generated?

Idk, AI is usually very good at translation into English, and most of the translations are garbage.

What's wrong with an hour of entertainment for 1 Buck?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Noting, but many are basically the same game with different drawings.

....I don't think they're playing it for the story

The Ubisoft model

Some of the most-played steam games are "Banana" and "Cats" where you literally click it every few hours and get steam item drops. Basically NFTs where people try to get rare items, but even more braindead because the developer, at any time can make more tokens.

My friend is a connoisseur, and he says both the quantity and quality has been declining this year.

A terrible, terrible for Steam and ~~gooners~~ gamers this year

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Only around 17,000 or so. The rest are minimum effort Unity asset flips.

I do appreciate that it used to be too much effort to get a game onto Steam, but this situation is hardly better.

That's like 20 gameplay sessions for 99¢, that's only like 5¢ per.
