Steam to add hardware specs to reviews — optional feature could help you dodge poorly optimized games

Steam revealed in its Client Beta patch notes that it will let users show the specifications of their hardware when leaving reviews. This should help other players considering a title see if the feedback was affected by the reviewer's hardware, although Valve says that this feature remains optional.

All of Deadlock's new heroes are now released—but please, pity the poor schmuck that spent anywhere between 252-378 hours pouring votes into Celeste, who came second to last

That's around 13 hours of gaming a day for 19 days straight.
