EA Quietly Pulls The Sims Medieval From Digital Shelves

Electronic Arts has quietly removed The Sims Medieval from digital storefronts, pulling it from EA App and Steam with no public announcement. Existing owners can still access and play the game, but new buyers cannot. The EA Store page shows Not Available, and Steam removed the title as of March 10, 2026 per SteamDB. The 2011 spin-off—which added Pirates & Nobles—has effectively been discontinued, prompting questions about other abandoned Sims titles and potential remasters.

Valve Signals Steam Controller Comeback With Mysterious Unboxing Clip

Valve is nudging toward a Steam-branded hardware launch after a Steam app entry surfaced an unboxing video for the Steam Controller, listed as 'steam_controller_unboxing_2026' on SteamDB. The video, not yet viewable, accompanies reports that Valve has shipped a first large batch of controllers and that launch timing remains uncertain, though insiders say a debut could come soon. Previously delayed by shortages and price pressures, the plan appears to target 2026, with the controller possibly leading a trio that may include the Steam Machine and Steam Frame, though those two remain in limbo for now.

Indie Dev Celebrates Tangy TD’s $250K Milestone After Viral Moment

Indie dev Cakez celebrates Tangy TD’s earnings spike after a viral moment, with the Steam back-end showing 3,676 copies sold and $31,942 in the first 30 hours, and later around $245,000 gross from 28,171 sales (2,892 refunded). All-time peak concurrent players were modest (under 800), but the four-year development paid off in six-figure-ish potential, highlighting how indie games can find substantial revenue on Steam and how SteamDB estimates can closely track sales.

Steam Deck Reaches 25k Verified/Playable Games Milestone

Steam Deck’s Verified/Playable badge rollout has surpassed 25,000 titles (25,010 per SteamDB), highlighting rapid growth in games deemed a good or playable fit on Valve’s handheld. The official Steam store count may differ because SteamDB includes delisted titles, and a badge doesn’t guarantee a perfect experience, but the milestone underscores expanding compatibility with recent additions like CAIRN and Once Upon a Shell.

"Record-Breaking 14,000+ Games Launched on Steam in 2023"

In 2023, Steam saw an overwhelming number of game releases, totaling 14,531, which averages to about 50 new games each weekday. This surge in releases has made it nearly impossible for individual players and gaming sites to keep up with or highlight quality games among the multitude of lesser titles. The current system lacks effective curation, relying heavily on algorithms that often fail to promote deserving indie games unless they're buoyed by external buzz. Critics suggest that Valve could implement human curation funded by the submission fees to better surface standout games in the crowded marketplace.

"Steam's Upcoming Feature: Conceal Your Embarrassing Games on Your Profile"

Steam may soon introduce a "Mark as Private" option for individual games, allowing users to hide specific games from their friends and public profiles. This feature, discovered by SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik, would address concerns about sharing embarrassing or controversial gaming history. While Steam already offers privacy settings for profiles, this new option would provide more control over game visibility. However, it remains unclear if this privacy setting will affect statistics-keeping tools like SteamDB or sales of adult-oriented games.
