It took me a few moments to work out what the feeling was looking over NextFest. Once I did, I joined the groaning online discourse. But a lot of people view Steam browsing more casually, and don’t have such forums.

The exact moment of “I’ve been fooled!” is unclear too. Many genuine indie devs have traditionally put out half-functional games, so it’s nothing new, and sometimes you just get what you pay for.

But Steam’s gotta do something about this or it’s going to degrade the value of the store.
