No drama, Just Reviews? You've come to the right place.

Just to preface this, we've never liked the idea of advertisement within our group and apart from a brief footer message in our reviews we don't even advertise our own group. However, we all felt that Samkiud's message was worth an exception and so, here it is.

Hey, how is it going? Samkiud here.

I wanted to share with you a project I have been working on for some time.

Watching TotalBiscuit's videos I realized about how the Steam curator system was being handled. I noticed how there is the trend of following a language totalitarianism when it comes to offering curation and reviews, and, in addition to this, I also became aware about the lack of dedicated curators and reviewers in non-English languages for the non-speaking communities. From that time, inspired by wishes of contributing to a non-English language, I have been "cooking the idea" of making a curator group that would gather good Spanish reviewers, like-minded individuals, that would work together to achieve a common goal: offering elaborated reviews to curate players and encourage the active discussion about the gaming industry, so a couple of weeks ago I met with a couple a friends, and after a brainstorm we came up with Mentor Píxel.

Mentor Píxel born from the idea of going against the trend of the language centralism that reigns in curator system of Steam. All the Steam curator system is currently monopolized by the English speaker community, and the problem is so serious that even the non-English speaker have decided to post reviews, not in their native language, but in English, for the sake of getting attention or whatever reason that does not justify, at least in my stuborn opinion, the fact of no supporting your native language. (It might be a highly subject view.)

The thing is that many people would like to follow curators that offer reviews in their language, but sadly, the current curator search system is not friendly enough, causing those curators to be clouded and burried by the most recognized and popular ones (English-speakers, as usual). And there are so many talented curators in other languages that are buried deep in the search result and the curator list. (To fix this technical issue I have made my proposal in the Suggestion sub-forum of Steam and hoping Valve actually consider it.

This is the thread. Feel free to bump it or post your thoughts there. I'm inviting you to make your contribution to make Steam a better place and push Valve to do something in this regard.)

In Mentor Píxel we are aiming to gather goods Spanish reviewers that are willing to follow organized standards when elaborating videogame analysis, so we can become the definitive Spanish curator group and serves as advisers when it comes to acquiring a product through this platform.

All in all, if you would like to be up for good reviews in Spanish, you are invited to follow Mentor Píxel curator page and join the group. We will do our best to give you the best reviews in there.

Have a nice game, and stay classy.
