i do have to thank the steam curators for convincing me to not drop 20 bux on wasteland 2 tho

"An excellent RPG despite its glitches" is a big fat alarm bell because i know from experience that rpg nerds will tolerate all sorts of bugs so if it has to be mentioned up front it's gonna be like whoops gently caress your save! level of glitchiness. so good work steam, you saved me money.

Okay if you're not willing to tolerate bugs to play a cool game you are definitely not a true gamer, smdh.

I like everything except the curators. Maybe it can be adblocked or something? It would be one thing if you could just choose ones you like but now I have to be reminded that Jimquisition, Total Biscuit, and PC Master Race meme exist on the internetevery time I browse poo poo I'm not going to buy anyway. It just gets me so hopping mad.

The blue is nice though. Fair tradeoff.

I like how Steam Enhanced tells you "No 10% off is a total rip-off, it's 10 bucks over here." Steam should add that.

Jim Stirling looks like this loving guy from Beetlejuice.


Also, Steam seriously needs to add TABBED loving BROWSING and a way to differentiate Early Access garbage from real games in the listings without having to open the game's main page.
