We disabled it back in March because they upped their bot blocking to the point where we could no longer feasibly support them as a retailer. Will check back in on things and see what we can do.

Friendly reminder that video games are more than just their review scores and real people put time and effort into making them (and reviewing them). Be kind to each other.

Talk A Good Game S02E01

Join me as I chat with @kaizengameworks.com co-founder Oli Clarke Smith about their game Promise Mascot Agency, plus Oli's love for PS2 games with low review scores, the joy of making games they want, and challenges of being an indie developer

We're considering how best to implement something like this.

Deku Deals @dekudeals.com · 20d

Ah, yeah, we don't have a reliable way to track in-store clearance prices unfortunately. Nice find!

Deku Deals @dekudeals.com · 20d

It ain't much, but it's honest work 💪

Deku Deals @dekudeals.com · 20d

Both are fantastic games. Enjoy!

Interesting perspective. We list them from high score to low scores simply as a way to make the scores easier to parse. Will keep your suggestion in mind, though!

Deku Deals @dekudeals.com · 20d

Added them yesterday. Thank you!

As of January 1, Steam will stop supporting systems running 32-bit versions of Windows: help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view...

"Windows 10 32-bit is only in use on 0.01% of systems reported through the Steam Hardware Survey. Windows 10 64-bit will still be supported and 32-bit games will still run."

Screenshot of Steam support page with the following text:

"As of January 1 2026, Steam will stop supporting systems running 32-bit versions of Windows. Windows 10 32-bit is the only 32-bit version that is currently supported by Steam and is only in use on 0.01% of systems reported through the Steam Hardware Survey. Windows 10 64-bit will still be supported and 32-bit games will still run.

Existing Steam Client installations will continue to function for the near term on Windows 10 32-bit but will no longer receive updates of any kind including security updates. Steam Support will be unable to offer users technical support for issues related to the old operating systems, and Steam will be unable to guarantee continued functionality of Steam on the unsupported operating system versions.

To ensure continued updates and compatibility, users should update to a 64-bit version of Windows.

This change is required as core features in Steam rely on system drivers and other libraries that are not supported on 32-bit versions of Windows. Future versions of Steam will run on 64-bit versions of Windows only. We strongly encourage all 32-bit Windows users to update sooner rather than later."
