When Steam opened up the marketplace it was a few new games at most per week (some of which were just getting their additional Steam release).

Now, and since some years already, you have dozens (even up to 50!) of game releases every day on there. Much of which garbage of course, but even a small decent slice is easily overwhelming at this velocity.

It's the same commoditization that happened to books, music and movies. Kind of sad to see really, as this not only kills the magic, it also tends to impair our collective ability to evaluate and build on it.

Well, here I go play Gmod...
