I'm the one who posted searching for the owner of a Steam Deck my mother-in-law found on a train eight months ago but didn't give it to me until two weeks ago... and I found the owner! It's u/Fine-Log5358! Huge thanks to u/f0rged who led me to finding this post, and even huger thanks to u/SteamHWFeedback who helped connect me with the owner who didn't originally see my messages. And thanks really to everyone who saw my post, upvoted it, commented, shared, etc., because ultimately it led to the right people seeing it.

It took a little bit of effort but it feels amazingly good to have helped get this baby home. According to the tracking info, it should arrive by tomorrow night! I hope u/Fine-Log5358 lets us know when it does!

And to everyone reading.. if you get the opportunity to do a good deed for someone, please do. If everyone does the selfish thing every time, then the world just sucks. Everyone has the ability to be better than that. And it feels really good to do it.

EDIT: I have to take a minute to shout out /u/chriszorn who kindly gifted me a game on steam (that I was really wanting!) just from having seen this post! What comes around goes around and there's some kindness coming your way in the near future too Chris, I'm sure!!! Thank you!

Its estimated around 8hrs

I would never want it to get cancelled when it’s in the final stages of downloading.

Thanks to everybody for great suggestions.

no mods this isnt about me promoting piracy, im talking about an entirely different subject dont be annoying now.

the thing is buying the first game which i've pirated and getting to see it in my account is.. magical, and isnt talked about at all, just beautiful.

Is there not an option for "Yes, AI done did all the things."

These are two games that I played back in 2024 or 2025, and turned out to be malware. Steam has actually been pretty transparent and thorough with the details ever since the first detection.

If I could block games this quickly, I feel like the whole experience would be a lot less frustrating.

Right now, you have to open a game's store page just to mark it as "Ignored."

Do you think Steam should add this?

• Fix non-steam apps disappearing after a network reconnect

Rumor has it:

• Eight TLS certificates belonging to eMudhra, an Indian-based intermediate certificate authority, were discovered to be backed by exceptionally weak private keys earlier this week, with one of them containing a value as weak as, I kid you not, "4", hence the update to the revocation list as part of this update

  • For additional reading, see this article by Ars Technica
  • The updated revocation list was also made available as part of this afternoon's stable client release

• Size is close to 100 MB

This Wardogs review that Steam served up to me lol!

Considering that we already have an option to report NSFW games without the correct labels/warning, I am surprised that we don't have the option to do the same with AI Content.

Next fest used to be super interesting, and be chock full of little fun curated experiences thought up by brilliant people using their talents, art, and skills to offer demos up to the public, it was always super dope, and something super interesting to look forward to!

now I click on next fest and more than HALF if not more of the results are AI slop thumbnails with awful excuses for "games" underneath.

All I'm looking for is some sort of toggle to let users hide this sort of content. Games are an art, not a generative AI slopping grounds.

This year's Next Fest might be the biggest disappointment yet. It feels like 90% of the games are either awful looking AI-generated slop or games made by actual people but slapped with AI thumbnails. Last year's festival wasn't particularly interesting either, but at least there was still something worth checking out. This year, though, it genuinely feels like there are barely any decent games to look at.

Steam seriously needs to start moderating this flood of garbage, or at the very least raise the fee for publishing a game from $100 to $200. Sure, that would hurt legitimate developers too, but it would also help filter out a significant amount of the trash flooding Steam. Every year, more games get released than the year before, yet the number of good games seems to stay exactly the same. I'd rather play some shitty Unity game slapped together by some Turkish dev in five minutes using free assets than touch a single one of these slop games

Im looking for any Halloween themed horror games indie would be my preference, but anything works just any cool suggestions

I initially would have 800k but idk what to do with these points.

Hey everyone! Hope your all doing well,

So I've seen the problems and the complaints about AI usage in a lot of the games participating in next fest so I wanted to highlight the upcoming Games Without AI event.

The aim of the event is to celebrate indie games that are original, hand crafted and get a look at how these games are made.

Link to website:

There is also a discord mentioned on the website where voting is still going on and a lot of devs posting updates about their development process.

I'm not involved in this event planning etc, I've applied my own game for it I just think it's worth checking out if your a fan of indie games that are human made.

Thanks for your time!
