Dear players,
Steam again changes it rules and tries to get rid of the fake games of steam. this allover is a good thing but the question is if they get the correct way. Here evereyone thinks other about it and everyone can think about it what he want, but fact is also that small dev teams like we (Albatros Softworks) have it harder to find players and unlock steam features for newer games.
The main changes in the first update of steam was that they made a specific rule with secret thrashholds to unlock steam collector cards. What exact is calculated and what values are needed is totally secret of steam and nobody knows it. Because of that for example Defense clicker still if it sells and works on steam and we have a community,... it still has not reached some values that we cannot unlock them.
Now yesterday steam wrote a new anouncement which shocked many people and also developers because they reworked the system but they didn't made it easier, they made it even harder because now as long as the values are not reached the games are also capped to a maximum of 100 Achievements and the game achievements and statistics do not count to profile values like bought games, 100% games, number of achievements and also achievement graphics are not usable for the profile boxes.
Now i wanted to share this with you players to show you that in this time it is even more important to be active in discussion boards, write what you think in reviews and be active. This is not only an information for us, this new system matches for all new games of all publishers/developers. Please take the time and share your informations on steam with other players and write reviews for your games to help the real developers and publishers (not meant scam or trash games) with their games
kind regards
Albatros softworks
