Steam’s New Secret Weapon.

Valve is reportedly testing a major new feature for Steam that could change how we shop for games forever. According to data spotted on SteamDB, we might finally be getting a built-in 30-day price history for every game on the platform. This pro-consumer move could save us all a lot of money and potentially make third-party price-tracking tools obsolete. Is Valve doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, or is new legislation forcing their hand?

In today’s episode, we’re also diving into some explosive claims from former Epic Games employees about the reality of the Epic Games Store. It turns out those free game giveaways might not be working as well as Epic hoped, with Steam concurrent player records continuing to shatter. Plus, we have a massive update on the new Steam Controller and Steam Machine! Recent shipping manifests suggest that Valve is moving a huge quantity of hardware into the US—could a release date be right around the corner?
