https://www.pcgamer.com/steams-biggest-new-games-in-november-include-empires-kingdoms-farmers-and-jedi/
Around the middle of each month, Valve releases a list of the previous month's top-selling new games on Steam, based on revenues generated over the first two weeks of release. (That's why the lists don't come out until mid-month: Games that come out at the end of a month still need their two weeks to ring up the dollars.) Because Valve doesn't share actual dollar figures, the lists are chronological, based on release date, and there's often a little insight or spot of trivia about the peculiarities of each month's lineup.

WilliamGee has shared a teaser trailer for his upcoming retro first-person shooter, WGRealms 2020. WGRealms 2020 is an old school retro game using Eduke32 and Duke Nukem 3D as a base.
This is a standalone total conversion of Duke Nukem 3D with influences from Doom, Hexen, Lord of the Rings, Unreal and more.
What this basically means is that the game features enemies, weapons and items from all these classic first-person shooters. Basically, think of it as a mashup of these classic FPS titles.
The first version of WGRealms came out in 2009. A big update was then released in 2011 that you can download and play. Unfortunately, the modder did not reveal the new features and changes that will be coming to version 2020. He didn’t also unveil any release date so we don’t really know when it will come out.
