Stardew Valley Made More Money On Steam Than Most Holiday Blockbusters

Steam Spy just released a big 2016 data dump, and it’s certainly revealing. Valve revealed the top 100 most money-making Steam games of 2016, but they didn’t provide any data beyond vague rankings.

Infinite Warfare Has Some Very Cool Spaceships

The latest Call of Duty has some problems. That said, being a man so deeply invested in the most superficial aspects of video games, I’m also finding a lot to love.
