Steam Game Festival Q

[PXL]

Is there a badge for the Steam Game Festival?

[м]

no

I think there should be one to motivate me to try out weird and wonderful demos.

As it is I 've largely ignored the event and carried on my usual routine.

Anyone else?

You'd do the task required to get the badge and then you'd be here again.

If there are wonderful demos, you shouldn't need an incentive to try them out.

I hope the lunar event brings badge + maybe cool game but i think games are long gone :/

I get what you are saying...... BUT ....

With each demo played the badge could get levelled-up.

Now I know the obvious thing would be that some people would just download and play the required number of demos to level-up the badge .... BUT ... some people would also enjoy playing something new.

Maybe they just need the kick up the backside to do it .... like me.

You didn't get what I'm saying.

If people want to try something new, they'll just download it and play it instead of asking for trinkets in the forums.

If you need a badge to motivate you to play demos, then you're simply not interested in trying out new games.

The Game Festivals never had a badge and probablynever will.

"Hey, we got free samples of new types of candy bars we'll sell in the future. Do you want to try them?"

<Hmmm, I wanna try them, but I can't bother unless you give me a sticker everytime I eat a candy bar. I reaaly wanna try them, but I need a sticker to summon the willpower to do it.>

"Door's there, kiddo. You know the way out."

Yes and no.

Consider you may be right, that there should be a badge to encourage such things. It MIGHT help promote it, but I would guess that the footfall difference would be tiny.

However, consider the fact that more badges at every opportunity kind of dilutes what people see in them.

Fun fact: The demo festivals, game devs and Valve both agree they are successful. This even without the need for badges.
