After years of watching from the sidelines as their colleagues in the same building scored exclusive boxes of sweets from Valve, the developers behind Slay the Spire at MegaCrit have finally received their own batch of GabeN-approved chocolates. Valve’s tradition of sending holiday treat boxes to the studios that bring in the biggest Steam revenue is well-known among insiders, but MegaCrit’s Peak Games, just down the hall, had always been left out of this sweet deal.
Now, that has changed. The devs who sweat over balancing roguelike deckbuilders and grinding out the tight gameplay of Slay the Spire have their own box of goodies, a tangible sign of Steam’s appreciation after years of affectionate envy. It’s a small but satisfying moment for a team that has watched their office mates crack open those chocolate-covered tokens of success every year.
In the world of game development, these traditions carry more weight than you might expect. They are a simple nod from Valve acknowledging the impact and success these studios have had on the platform. For the Slay the Spire team, finally unlocking this little piece of Valve’s seasonal goodwill is a fitting reward after years of steady growth and passionate community support.
So yes, it’s okay. They finally got it.
