Receiver is a game that will blow your mind. At least it will when you’re first starting out. I was pretty curious about Receiver as it was a game done in the 7-day FPS challenge to explore various gun mechanics. Receiver hit the the marker with the challenge. At first it was fairly complex and hard to figure out, but thankfully developer Wolfire Games integrated a help system to the game to help new comers figure things out. Before I get into the nitty gritty details of the game, I want to emphasize that Receiver was created in only 7 days as part of the FPS challenge. With that said, you are not going to find extraordinary graphics, nor an epic story line. Receiver simply explores some advanced gun mechanics which makes for fun and intriguing gameplay.

I do not understand how there is such a disconnect between those working in the gaming industry, and the average users within that industry. Like, what do these companies expect when these gaming services provide inferior services at an increased costs? Are companies like Todd Sweeney’s Epic Games or now David Rosen’s Wolfire Games’ completely—almost comedically—this tone deaf? Are they not gamers themselves? There are so many companies that just want to see Valve lose rather than just provide value to customers. What we’re seeing both CEOs do so underhandedly just feels wrong. What Steam has done for PC gaming somehow feels under appreciated and resented, which is baffling.
