DU, you wanted drama? You got drama. Check this out.

Yes, a curator that's intended solely for recommendations is going to link to positive reviews.

It's not like you can't "Not Recommend" a game on the curator. There's even a truly neutral option like "Informational".

But we don't do that. Makes ya think.

That said, I can't remember the last time I've seen a curator link on Steam, so I don't even know if it's still used.

Why give attention to crap that everyone already knows about?

And with so much crap, the "Not recommend" would drown out the "Recommended" games

Codex’ curator thing hasn’t been active for years.

I browsed the Steam curators yesterday as I was trying to find new interesting games, a lot of the curators are memes that post a simple one liner like “luke I am your father” to every game and get thousands of followers.

Why review games at all then?

Not how it works. Not Recommended would show on the game's page and it would show in a different section from Recommended upon visiting the curator.

Buuut it would probably also change the stats in the curator's dashboard to show that the curator negatively affected sales. Oops. Now, why would someone not want that?

Raise awareness for games that more or less cater to our niche.

This is the mildest drama ever.

It's the most mundane and boring conspiracy imaginable

It has reviews as of last August.

I think the curator feature in general is stagnant or not used by Steam much anymore, so no developer is willing to pay to have a game promoted on it - which, yes, was a thing. Probably why it stopped.

Oh yeah. Gotta raise awareness of Wrath of the Tranny and soon BG3.

Sure, why not?

I can confirm that at least one dev was interested in giving us a Steam key back in May. The truth is that Infinitron is just tired but unable/unwilling to relinquish his duties (Caves of Lore should certainly be on there for example, we have a review and everything).

He should hand it off to Non-Edgy Gamer, much hilarity would ensue

You laugh, but I would finally bring back some dignity to this prestigious magazine.

remember when rogay was given staff status to tend to the twitter only but suddenly xe became the semi-official spokesperson for whatever dumb shit codex is up to unabashedly providing xir retarded insights everywhere and everytime

 

[PapaPetro]

Low tier drama is ruining the Codex. We need a better level of drama.

How do we go about upgrading?

I'm just sharing my opinion which I would do anyway if I wasn't part of the staff.

but you are part of the staff which is why your opinions carry a different weight than mine

I didn't ask for it. I can provide feedback for content, submit reviews directly, and tweet out news links, and that's pretty much it.

and yet nobody will bat an eye if you the staff member say some dumb crap about how should you scramble your eggs, but it's obviously a different matter when you speak of running codex related matters



what is it that you misunderstand. am i to prepare a diagram

Delete my account and remove my Developer tag.

You mods are too triggered.

I offer reality of the game business, it makes you sad.

DarkUnderlord you want it to end this way?

I'm going to post what I want as I always have and remain unconcerned if people incorrectly believe my words about the Codex have more weight because I have a staff member tag. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
