Steam Workshop

Super Mario Bros, now at a local Steam Workshop near you.

I glanced briefly at the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive Workshop and saw this thing of beauty. I launched it thinking this was a troll rom or a poor knock off as I’ve grown accustomed to finding, but I was pleasantly surprised to find this was a genuine port. So incredible in fact that I’m anticipating Nintendo will call for a cease and desist any minute.

I didn’t play much of it, but I was in awe over what I saw. I already have this game in my other emulators, but seeing it on Steam Workshop for a Sega console emulator caught me off guard. I wonder how long this will stick around.

So, it’s over… at least on the Skyrim side.

Well, Valve and Bethesda finally decided to revert workshop back to the way it was.

Update: After discussion with Valve, and listening to our community, paid mods are being removed from Steam Workshop. Even though we had the best intentions, the feedback has been clear – this is not a feature you want. Your support means everything to us, and we hear you.

So that’s it. Things go back to the way they are. At least for this particular game. Valve might still do the same thing with their games… I just hope that if any company or indie in the future thinks twice about implementing that type of system. Like I said before, I’m all for people making money on something they love doing, but in the end it all comes down to how you present it. This wasn’t presented very well in the slightest.

In other news: Yes, people are still pissed about the workshop changes…

People have been speaking up (including popular YouTubers), signing the petition, making joke mods, etc etc. It’s getting so bad that Gaben had to speak up about it.

“Our goal is to make modding better for the authors and gamers,” Newell said in a Reddit Ask Me Anything thread. “If something doesn’t help with that, it will get dumped. Right now I’m more optimistic that this will be a win for authors and gamers, but we are always going to be data driven.”

Meanwhile, Garry (Creator of Garry’s Nod) is still voicing his opinion in a very professional manner… And by professional, I mean total douchecanoe that can eat a bag of salted dicks.

Killing Floor makes it to Steam Workshop

by

Yep, now people can submit their mods via steam for download. If you don’t know what Killing Floor is it’s basically the British version of Left 4 Dead (with other features), and you can have up to 6 people in your squad. The game is made by Tripwire interactive and it runs on the unreal engine.

To celebrate Killing Floor becoming part of Steam Workshop, Steam is having a sale on the game.
