The Steam Review

It’s clear to me that Steam’s development has plateaued, at least for now. I don’t intend to shut the site down (hopefully that will never happen), but with the articles I have notes for today either entirely speculative or concerning another distribution service there seems little point in continuing to try to produce them.

The Steam Community is due to enter beta next week - and unfortunately I’ll be in deepest darkest Norfolk when it happens.

If you’ve ever been annoyed that the official Steam feed doesn’t reliably list new releases, this should sort you out.

Seeing as the most popular feed reader for TSR’s subscribers (now bumping gently against 150!) is Firefox’s Live Bookmarks, I’ve reverted the default feed to its original, smaller, excerpt-only form.

If you want to receive the full text of each post in your feed, and don’t mind the larger download, the new URL is http://feeds.feedburner.com/steamreview-fulltext.

I’ve recently moved to the North. It’s not as grim as they say.

The first Steam Podcast was released today. While it concerns the wider Steam community more than it does Steam itself, some company is welcome all the same!
