So many awful games.

[Vara]

Took a look through the Steam store. Wow. That was terrible.

It would appear that recently we've struck quite a bump, a bump in gaming quality versus quantity. Hentai, Early Access, and the awful Indie Game Market manifesting nothing but broken, below par, and pricy games with little content. For a while it's been clear that Valve doesn't want top of the line quality ganes filling their stores, but is instead focusing more towards quantity over quality.

I, for one, would happily remove hundreds of games from the Steam market if I had even the slightest chance. Staring with the hundreds of Hentai/Anime games that completely plauge the market. Afterwards, I'd completely remove Early Access entirely; Early Access developers have no reason to finish a game if it's already sold thousands of copies. In short, Early Access just doesn't work. It's like pizza: The devs make the pizza half baked and 'promise' to bake the other half, but never do. They just give you a half finished pizza for the full price.

It's so revolting to see promises broke right before your eyes and that game you were promised turn into something so disgusting you can't even stomach it. Make it so you can refund an EA game ANYTIME, that'd fix it quick and make this greedy devs work. I'd also make sure those Indie game creators are placed under a heavy thumb so they can't release their foul 'games' anymore.

What are your thoughts? Tell me!

steam is a good platform for small indie games studio, otherwise they dont even stand a chance competing with rockstar, bethesda, etc.

[YoWutSup]

Just checked the top sellers last night...About 3 or 4 were early access. Pathetic.

I came here thinking I was going to start a topic about this. I see now that I am not the only one who feels this way. It is a rainy Saturday night on the east coast , so I decided to make a purchase. I figured buy a cheap game, basicly the cost of a movie in a theater. I was very surprised to see the amount of suckage. I wanted a good game to play tonight, 15 to 20 price range would have been nice. Too bad I don't see anything.

People have become so desperate that they compare their video game to a steak. Of course Steam is filled with ♥♥♥♥

Firstly you do realise that you have some awesome games in your inventory that you don't even appear to have loaded yet - Baldur's Gate, Special Edition, Fallout New Vegas, Mass Effect 1 and 2, Castle Crashers. Castle Crashers is a brilliant casual game and has a good multiplayer. And did you get bored with Borderlands 2 ?

I have a personal mantra with Steam (in fact most things) - sale or nothing. Also Steam, all hail to our Lord Gaben, has a fantastic range of free games. I'd certainly recommend Team Fortress 2 and Robocraft. This weekend doesn't have my core interests but Dirt Showdown at £0.99 seems a great bargain and the £7.99 Dragon Xenoverse seem worth a shout.

Steam's free games alone provide probably thousands of hours of top notch game play.

S.x.

maybe he just wanted to support one of these... "idie" devs? don't tell me it's not understandable.

[Captain Pentium]

They need to make a "A piece of ♥♥♥♥" filter. There. Fixed

[AbsynthMinded]

I want to filter out any game with the Early Access Tag, completely from my Steam Experience. I want Steam to have some responsability to hunt down and remove truly krap games.

[saberlost]

So, Banner Saga? Stardew vally, FTL , all removed, sounds like a great plan.

you are dramatising...

being indie or self-proclaimed indie dosn't make dev or their poducts awful.

their products are awful only if devs wouldn't play their games themselves.

[Gallifrey - CSSC Gaming Founder]

I think if Steam gamers were asked to rate every game they've played on Steam as either Excellent, Very good, Good, Average, Bad, Very Bad, or Terrible the total number of indie games that would have positive ratings (more goods and better than bads and worse) would be more than "good" AAA games - but a much higher percentage of "AAA" games would rate positive than the indie's. That's because Indie games range from innovative works of genius, labours of love by competent designers through cheap rip offs of better games and barely functional software that doesn't belong in a store.

I like the indie games but what I don´t like is all that Early Access games. Soo many games are available way too early where only one level or a plain sandbox is available... Steam should have a bit more QA before taking games on the store imho

Do not buy them then.

Nobody is making you purchase these games if they have insufficient content either don't buy them in the first place or refund them as soon as your realise this.

You can always come back and buy them when they get a full release or even just later when they have more content.

[BlackSpawn]

That would be never in the case of alphas dropped for the cashgrab and other early access shaenanigans.
