And this annoying mascot returns...

I suppose she's the official mascot now, we will be seeing this """girl""" a lot more in the future unfortunately...

Good times when Valve had creative themes for each sale

And people complained about each and every one of them just like they do with the actual one.

Complaining about the sale artwork is as much of a Steam trope as it is complaining about how bad the sale is.

I assure you next sale people will complain about the artwork too.

Like I said in the other thread, this is the end for this artist's collab with Valve...

It's a shame. I started to feel sales got some sort of coherence (Just like when we used to have the Steam Mascots around)

That girl was more creative than most of Valve's attempts these last few years. Shame we'll be getting something worse next year.

Yep. I'm not particularly fond of the winter sale image at all, but earlier ones have been pretty noticeable as far as I'm concerned.

Funny thing is, I don't remember discussions about earlier themes... but then, maybe I just didn't notice, or don't remember.

The one where Steam did some CalArts style characters for the sale did get quite a lot of people riled up about it

One example: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/10/1747892655523455159/

There's always someone who is going to complain because potato and because you cannot please everyone.

She makes him feel funny where he has been told that it's bad to feel funny.

Besides OP's username kinda revealing intent, the fact they put the word girl in quotations kinda tips their hand.

Glad people denied OP the shocked reaction he was fishing for.

I always find it funny when people cry about a pastel color pallet. Pastel colors are easy on the eyes and give an impression of 'softness' when used. Especially pastel pinks and blues.

They are generally widely appealing because of those traits. As well as the general pallet for the artwork is mostly pastel/soft colors.

Well apparently the mascot "being trans" has been living in his head for about a month, where the "woke agenda's" been living rent free for several now.

Either way, obvious award bait that NOBODY fell for (which is surprising)
