Steam's chart was designed to communicate that more games than ever are seeing revenue of over $100,000 per year. This, were it so clear cut, would be splendid news.

As documented by a few different channels on YouTube, Borderlands 4 on Steam Deck is technically playable, but looks extremely rough, features plenty of input lag, runs poorly at its default settings, and doesn't at all seem worthy of Steam's Verified badge. That's supposed to signal to players that a game will be a great experience with no tweaking needed on the aging portable PC. But that's simply not true of Borderlands 4 on Steam Deck.

BioWare's questionable 2019 looter shooter detour that failed to take off and never got the second chance the RPG studio had promised. According to the initial announcement, fans who bought the game would still be able to play it up until it finally goes offline forever on January 12.

There has been a demo renaissance in the last few years, and we couldn't be happier. Demos have been a part of video game history for a long time, but whether or not they've been good for sales has been up in the air for quite some time.
