I appreciate this pure level of honesty rather than the surreal experience of seeing press taking review keys and never covering the game 😆

Feels like we'd be throwing a huge opportunity away, but every day the US feels more and more unsafe.
Worth noting we're about 25 reviews away from reaching 1,000 Steam reviews for Loco Motive. Every little bit helps! 👀

I'll just say I'm not picking on this specific person or their video - but I am critical of this continuing narrative when the genre has had two of the best consecutive years in recent memory.

Valve Slide, showing that over 66% of Steam users have languages other than English set as their primary language. #1 Simplified Chinese, 33.70% #2 English, 33.50% #3 Russian, 8.20% and the list goes on..
Yeah, about 33.70% of Steam users have Simplified Chinese as their primary language according to Valve. That’s a large enough portion of the audience that I do think it's a necessity going forward for all titles, and not just specific genres.
15.12.2025 14:41 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0This was just through Steam. We timed the update with a Daily Deal promotion, so we were able to benefit from front page featuring on the store page.
