Steam's playing coy. They say they don't block adult games from Early Access, but devs are getting denied left and right. What's the real story?

You ever feel like Steam is just a firehose of shovelware? Well, the numbers are in, and it's even worse than I thought.

Remember when Valve dropped masterpiece after masterpiece? Yeah, me too. Let's talk about what happened and where the hell they're going now.

I just played the Painkiller demo, and I think I pulled a muscle from dashing, hooking, and blasting my way through Purgatory. It feels so damn good to have this series back.

I just played the Backrooms: Exit from Supermarket demo for Steam Next Fest. It's a terrifying game of hide-and-seek where making too much noise gets you fired... from life.

I just survived a few days in the MISERY demo, a game that feels like STALKER and Lethal Company had a beautiful, janky baby. It's broken in all the right ways.

I just blasted my way through the GAZAR demo and I think my brain is still vibrating. If you miss the days of high scores and relentless alien fleets, you need to play this.

I thought my old retail job was hell, but the HELLMART demo introduced me to a whole new level of terror involving strange customers and a monster that really, really wants to meet me.

I just played the INDUSTRIA 2 demo, and it feels like the lovechild of Half-Life and a German art-house film. It's janky as hell right now, but damn, the potential is off the charts.
