I was just browsing for a good curator group on Steam after considering making one on my own because I unironically think that I have god tier critique intuition and can articulate what makes the game fun or not for other people.

I noticed that there is a series of steam curator groups that follow an identical formulaic naming and review process. They are called like [name] reviews

I am 100% made sure that they are AI bot groups because they are all owned by the same person. What is weird about it is that all these groups have 20k-40k followers, even though they offer nothing of value in terms of meaningful review (it is all generic AI generated slop that clearly isn't written by someone that played the game). And also most of the games are rated positively.

What could the reason be for someone to do something like this? I don't think there is any money involved in this. The best reason I can think of is to get curator keys from devs and play games for free, but there is no way they are getting keys for good games, probably just some shitty unfinished indie games.

Also curator thread I guess. Is it a good idea to follow curators or websites to get video game recommendation? I think it's pretty subjective and hard to find someone that agrees well with the kind of vidya you like.

What's a curator

Didn't read OP but I want a curator that marks every game that has AIslop in it so that I don't spend a single cent on it
>S-s-steam already forces developers t
They lie

>>712640675
it's someone that recommends games to other people. Steam has a curator system where anyone can make groups to publish reviews and recommendations of video games on.

>>712640831
there's already people making groups like that. there's one on steam that highlights woke stuff in games in detail

>>712640079 (OP)
can you even make money off curation? maybe #engagement? do those exist anywhere off-steam? I don't see what would motivate a pajeet to make AI slop curators otherwise

>>712641057
>there's one on steam that highlights woke stuff in games in detail
I don't give a shit about that. I want one that highlights AI sloppa.

>>712640079 (OP)
>The best reason I can think of is to get curator keys from devs and play games for free, but there is no way they are getting keys for good games, probably just some shitty unfinished indie games.
They'd 100% get keys for good games.

I've got a shit literal who youtube channel that only gets a few thousand views on each video and I get keys for shit all the time.

>>712640079 (OP)
>I unironically think that I have god tier critique intuition and can articulate what makes the game fun or not for other people.
Humility: the post.

>>712640079 (OP)
>Is it a good idea to follow curators or websites to get video game recommendation?
only if your taste blindly meshes with theirs, either way follow your own heart and do your own research.

>>712640079 (OP)
Nice find anon.

>>712641767
Do you even review those free games?

>>712641350
Yeah, you get developers to send you CDkeys for review then sell them directly to stores like CDkeys.

>>712641350
you definitely do get publicity to grow your social media like your youtube channel which can be integrated to the steam curator group, but I think that people need to genuinely like what you do.

>>712641445
i was just saying that people are making curator groups for all kinds of things

>>712641767
yeah that makes sense, they could probably sell those keys later.

>>712642221
Problem?

>>712642383
The only people I follow online for video game recommendations are ones that don't take themselves too seriously and just talk about how they had fun in the game. I truly believe that video games are special in that way where different people can find different ways to have fun with the same game.

>>712643491
According to Steam you are not obliged to review the games that you receive curator keys for. The dev can't even revoke the key after the curator has accepted the game.

>>712640079 (OP)
>I unironically think that I have god tier critique intuition and can articulate what makes the game fun or not for other people.
Review Starfield, Steamworld Dig, and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. One to two sentences each. Due by end of thread.

>>712640079 (OP)
>I was just browsing for a good curator group
What a faggot.

wrong screenshot. curators dont have to review games after they get keys

>>712640079 (OP)
What are your favorite games OP?

>>712643545
>The only people I follow online for video game recommendations are ones that don't take themselves too seriously
follow sseth on youtube to here about somewhat obscure old or newish titles that may be full of jank but are still fun for a lot of people, then.
Because he is EXACTLY that kind of reviewer you want. He is, however, quite limited in his selection.

I have never seen someone take themselves less seriously than that man, aside from Sam Hyde.

>>712643774
why would I review games that I have no interest in playing?

>>712644132
why would you review games at all instead of having sex and making money?

>>712643846
don't (You) me next time nigger

>>712643945
Valorant, DotA 2, and Summertime Saga

>>712643725
Yeah, it was more of a personal question to the anon. Those AI curators are probably just physing for keys and selling half of them, while reviewing something half-heartedly from the last key they have left over.

>>712644441
>needs other people to tell her what product should she buy
WHAT A FAGGOTRON 2000

>>712644126
>Sseth
tries too hard to be funny and edgy and does not talk too much about how it actually feels to play the games. Pass. I think that videogamedunkey is the best channel that does these comedic reviews.

>>712644746
>insecure of his own critical thinking to the point that he thinks he will get instantly influenced if he engages in a community or person that also shares a hobby that you like.
What is the difference of between following video game curators / reviewers and joining a reading club to find book recommendations.

It's all subjective, and in the end you choose your own brain to decide if this game is worth your time and money. You only use curators to help you find games.

>>712645529
>community
r0fl!
faggottrron 3k

>>712645529
Anon I have found sseth to be pretty bang on for how it feels to play those games.

>>712643774
Painfully average with a lot of potential.

Needed another 4 years in the oven. And that's being generous.

It almost revived the fighting game genre. Then capcom went and fucked it all up with infinite.

Look op let's be real here. Go to leddit. And I mean that unironically. You have a pretty cool find here with a lot of intrigue and mystery but modern day /v/ doesn't give a shit about that. They want something that involves the culture war so they have an excuse to talk about trannys and niggers for the nth time. This most likely doesn't have that. If you can somehow pin it on jeets (and have proof) we might be able to get some threads going.

>>712640079 (OP)
you've just uncovered some dude's free money printer
they get a fuckton of keys from developers and just resell them at market value, wouldn't be surprised if this was some third-world or chinese business being a parasite again

>>712645529
>I think that videogamedunkey is the best at comedic reviews

Hey op I made this post
>>712646028
Please take the advice I gave and go to reddit. Originally I said it because they'd take it seriously now I'm saying it because you're a massive fucking bender and should take your god awful marvel movie tier humor and opinions there instead.

>>712640079 (OP)
Steam should ban those because clearly they aren't real people.

>>712646473
worse yet they should pursue legal action, these "people" are just exploiting a system loophole and making a massive profit from key resales

>>712640079 (OP)
What a weird thing. My bet is also on the free steam keys. Does anyone know if the games just get sent to an account, or if you get an actual key that you could sell?

>>712640079 (OP)
>ai bad
who cares

>>712646782
>SIR YOU MUST LET MY INDIAN COUSINS BECOME RICH FROM SCAMMING!!!!
nope!

>>712640079 (OP)
Free keys. Even some shitty no-name youtuber will get a key from emailing devs as long as their page looks good on first glance.

>>712646969
>if you think ai is good you must be indian
bait this bad should be bannable for trolling

>>712647536
Yes. You're brown.

>>712647536
Spamming the curator list with fake accounts to try and scam keys that you can resell ain't exactly good is it retard?

>>712647750
>you're brown because you don't think AI is bad
ok

>>712647536
I'm not one of those anti AI zealot types but you can't exactly look at this and say its ethical.

>>712647871
nta but you're genuinely retarded if you can't understand the narrative here
fake accounts stealing real money from real people bad, ok
no steal, ok
hands you a banana

>>712647924
>it's unethical but consumers charging $100 for a controller is doe
>ermmm akshully it's da market if people pay it it's fine ok???

idk what ur even saying and i dont know what im saying either but all AI is doing is leveling the playing field

>>712647871
You seem more focused on the fact that anon is equating AI to shitskins than the fact its basically a scam ring. So yeah, I'm gonna agree with him and estimate there's a good 85 percent chance you're brown.

>>712647980
Tell me why it's bad without talking about artists losing out on revenue

>>712648074
>it's ok to scam if you're a corporation but if you're an individual it's bad
great argument

>>712648012
>various spelling mistakes, so bad it goes as far as "ur"
>complaining about 100 bucks being a lot
OK now I change the 85 percent to 100 percent a browno.

>>712648171
i bet you started using this site in 2017

>>712648116
>tell me why its bad
>UHHH THAT DOESNT COUNT
Post hand.

I don't know why are you blaming the AI, the only thing that AI makes faster than a human is the logo, did you see the reviews? I can do one right now for Ace Combat and I never played one in my life
>Incredible aerial action—with this game, you'll put your piloting skills to the test in intense aerial combat with exciting missions!

>>712648243
okay so your argument was imagined losses for an artist lol

>DUUUUDE AN ARTIST COULD HAVE DREW THAT SHITTY AVATAR FOR $500 BRO
>DUUUUDE A REAL REVIEWER COULD HAVE SAID THAT SAME OPINION
yawn

>>712648116
Because artists are losing out on revenue. Because the jeets (let's be honest, this has jeet written all over it) will then use said stolen revenue to move himself and his entire family tree to a developed country and then shit it up.

>>712648116
because a low-trust society in which every detail must be babygated and every person brought down to the same miserable level to leverage against criminal browns is a society not worth living in, anon
you deserve better than this, presumably

>>712648382
Post hand.

>>712648382
>he thinks this is about the fact that the pfps of the curators are made by AI
>he thinks this is about steam curators losing out on keys to bots
No wonder you think 100 bucks is a lot, your IQ is most likely 70, you'd be lucky to get a minimum wage job being this retarded.

>>712648437
>because a low-trust society in which every detail must be babygated and every person brought down to the same miserable level to leverage against criminal browns is a society not worth living in, anon
we're already there in the first world, unironic favelas have better trust and cooperation than most of the first world
>>712648409
fuck artists, patreon destroyed the entire industry
>>712648612
$100 isn't a lot but i doubt OP makes more than that a month from those 4 accounts combined, 20k followers is nothing

>>712648382
You're missing the point in entirely you actual sub human lmfaoooo

>>712648691
it's entirety, retard

>subhuman as two words
lol

>>712648761
>minor spelling mistake, I wi-
HOLD IT!!!

>>712648761
Entirely is a word, pajeet, he obviously just accidently added an "in" at the start. Subhuman is one word.

>>712640079 (OP)
Why would you make AI generated meme curator groups? What's the point?
People these days are random and insane.

>>712648761
>jeet outs himself

>>712648968
"in entirely" is not valid, retard
>>712649186
>you're indian because you don't think artists deserve patreon bux
lel

>>712649186
I've met a lot of raceplay-obsessed Dutch/Netherlands stereotypically-blonde women who genuinely cannot get black men out of their head, and they all universally view jeets as being worse than the scum of the earth and even insects

it is actually fascinating how invisible they are on a sexual spectrum, even for people who genuinely have a fetish for race betrayal
video games

>op makes thread about how he found a bot scam ring
>ai jeet comes in, sees English lexicon and letters, doesn't understand them, somehow comes to the conclusion this is all about the actual artwork in the profile pictures
>proceeds to not post hand
>proceeds to correct non existing spelling mistakes
>proceeds to make an argument that nobody fucking made because the word "artist" has exactly one meaning to him and does not mean anything else (see:>>712649248)
>proceeds to be brown and smelly and sex less.

Anyways, post hand.

>>712649438

>>712649248
That's literally not what I said or implied at all. You'll never get a visa if this is your understanding of English lmao.

>>712649248
>>712649438
why are we so focused on the generated art
that's by far the most irrelevant component of this entire thing

>>712650047
The only one here focused on that is the jeet.

>>712650047
anyone that actually reads curator reviews is a retard to begin with who gives a fuck

>>712641350
You can get free copies. One of the curators I follow "Indie Gems" sometimes posts pre-release reviews.

>>712646028
>>712646275
shut the fuck up you worthless nigger. i have expressed my opinion in that post with full awareness that it will trigger /v/tards. why do you think I would want to pander to useless niggers like you on this board.

if have any problem with my post then try to add something original or dont post on my thread and let it die.

even cancer places like leddit are useful in some situations, wish I can say the same to your worthless nigger brain.

>>712645529
Dunkey does well in some reviews but completely misses the ball in others, his Metal Gear Survive review was like peak retardation since he never even played long enough to unlock other weaponry past the spear, which takes roughly 90m to get a bat/one-handed weapon
Sseth isn't perfect but he at least is entertaining, especially his older reviews with shit like homm3 or the older wizardry videos
both are still funny and awesome but there's no perfect curator out there, nobody's perfect
