Last week, a discussion arose regarding the decline in Steam Deck sales, as noted by PC Gamer's Andy Edser. An analysis by Boiling Steam questioned the mathematical accuracy of the sales figures, leading to concerns about Valve's hardware future. Gabe Newell's million donation to OpenAI in 2018 has been suggested to negatively impact Valve's hardware ambitions. The price of the anticipated Steam Deck OLED increased significantly in May, with the 1TB model rising from 9 to 9 and the 512GB version from 9 to 9, causing potential buyers to reconsider. The Steam Machine's projected retail price has also surged from around 0 to ,049. In gaming, Mistfall Hunter has quickly reached the third spot on the live concurrent players list. The latest Steam deep cuts ranked Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Palworld as the top three games. Despite new releases, Counter-Strike 2 remains at the top of the rankings. DragonSword: Awakening and Shift at Midnight have gained attention for their unique gameplay. A notable Steam review of Alien Kink VR expressed a darkly humorous sentiment.
Kakao Games has announced its upcoming PC MMORPG titled 'ArcheAge S: Strait of Freedom', developed by XLGAMES. The game is being crafted for a global audience, focusing on optimizing the experience for PC users, and is led by PD Kim Kyung-tae, who was part of the original 'ArcheAge' planning team. Kakao Games has secured global publishing rights for the game and aims to enhance its portfolio with this title. The original 'ArcheAge' debuted in 2013 and has been well-received for its world-building and player freedom. 'ArcheAge S' is set to be released next year, with further details to be announced.
Owlcat Games is known for ambitious role-playing games, but their latest title, Rogue Trader, received a lukewarm 59% rating from PCG upon its December 2023 launch. The game features deep character building, allowing players to explore various builds after significant gameplay investment. The author initially created a powerful character build called the "Death World Pyromancer Psyker Blade Dancer Executioner," but found it less exciting than controlling the companion Abellard, who has a build called the "Navy Officer Warrior Arch Militant." Rogue Trader includes elements such as companion interactions, romance, skill development, planetary management, and trading, with a focus on turn-based combat and build crafting. The success of Rogue Trader has led to anticipation for Owlcat's upcoming game, Dark Heresy.
Delverium, an indie sandbox survival game from Sagestone Games, is set to enter Early Access on PC via Steam on September 22nd. The game has over 80,000 wishlists and features pixel graphics, open-world survival, and farming simulations. Players can explore a vast pixel-art world, engage in activities like fighting, fishing, farming, and foraging, and play solo or cooperatively with up to eight friends. A free demo was showcased during February’s Steam Next Fest, and the game has been refined based on player feedback from a recent playtest. The Early Access version will include core gameplay, cooperative play, and full controller support, and is expected to perform well on the Steam Deck. The Early Access phase is planned to last approximately two years, during which new content will be added based on player feedback.

ShiftUP CEO Kim Hyung Tae has faced criticism for a promotional video for the game Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, which featured an AI-generated music composition that was deemed lacking in soul and coherence. The video showcased a surreal visual experience with the protagonist, Evie, in a skin-tight suit that raised concerns about the game's creative direction. Critics argue that the video undermines the game's narrative and visual identity, leading to disappointment among fans who anticipated a deeper narrative in the sequel. ShiftUP has a history of producing high-quality content, as seen in their previous title, Nikke, which featured a soundtrack by a seasoned composer. The backlash reflects broader concerns about the normalization of AI in creative processes within the gaming industry and its potential impact on emotional connections in games. The gaming community has expressed disappointment and reevaluated their interest in Blood Rain due to the promotional material.
