I'm getting a bunch of invites from shady looking accounts on steam right now and they don't seem to come from here. So I blocked them all. If someone wants to add me, please pm me first so I know it's not some hacker or something, thanks. :)

Well, that's a bummer. You've made the right choice, but it's a shame that things like that happen (and SegaHeart has reminded us of the dangers at Steam). You've probably thought about this already, but I'd change back the profile settings once the Secret Santa event is over.

I'll join if it's still an option. I'll be sticking with my Steam wishlist this year since I've gone full on Steam Deck mode and want to maximize compatibility.

Welcome back. And of course you can join! We're happy to have you back with us in this event.

*Edit* Btw, only Steam this time or do you want me to add your GOG profile?

So, we've seen the games that performed the best in 2021 but, what about the games that have released this year? These are the best new releases during the first 6 months of 2022 (in a more or less alphabetical order):

Thank you!  Just Steam this year as I am using my Steam Deck a ton.  While there are ways to play GOG games on the Deck, compatibility is best with games directly on Steam, not to mention less work to get them running.

Ok, I just wanted to be sure. And congratulation for your Deck. As far as I know, you're the second here that has one, after axum.

I also have a Steam Deck since March. In fact it's the only device I use right now for playing games. I highly recommend it.

I have two of them. The first since early March and the second since September.

I also got a bit crazy by buying microSD cards on sale to sort Steam games by genre/launcher:

Not part of the event but damn, that looks like a nice set up.
