Steam Third-Person Shooter Fest Next Week
I’m going to need those TPS reports… ASAP.
Valve passed along word that the Steam TPS Fest begins August 25 at 10 AM PT. For those not in the know, TPS stands for third-person shooter. So it's a Fest for all games that are in the third-person shooter genre.

As part of their press release about this, Valve also made an Office Space reference, which I'm only now seeing as I write this up. Yeah,... -

Valve just added a new rule to the onboarding guide for game developers looking to add their games to Steam. This new rule basically says that some games cannot be published on Steam due to "rules and standards set forth by Steam's payment processors." In other words, financial institutions are once ag... -
