This thing in CS2 is 100K+ polygons. More, than Nathan Drake in Uncharted 4 (which was 90K). This model is present on the new Cache map.
This leaves me doubting if they will be able to release Half-Life 3 in a reasonable and optimized condition.

Valve accidentally sent out rejection letters to... thousands of developers! Who never applied for Next Fest. According to some reports, they actually sent it to EVERYONE.

Steam OS has been updated and now supports more devices. It's probably going to be able to run on many Ryzen-based handhelds. The installation is done via USB recovery image:

Holy crap: thanks to Collective Shout, Steam lost PayPal support in many regions!
If you forgot the story: 8 Aussie and radical Catholic mums attacked Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal so they will stop selling any adult games or games they generally don't like. Under false accusations they tried to make it look like those games are illegal (but they don't). They even tried to delist Detroit Become Human only because one of them didn't like the game.
And they partially succeeded with tens of thousands of games got delisted from Steam, Itchio and GOG.

Since "Rate my team in Counter Strike" bots are so common now on Steam, Valve is using a nasty trick — their messages with phishing links are not being delivered.
For bots it looks like it works. But users only see the safe text. So, people who used to trick those bots are mad that now they don't get their scam links. Found this in the profile of a scammer today and giggled.
