We want to revamp the Subscriber Perks and we want your input!


Recommended Posts

The ability to ignore some users comments (and their replies) made in the news section.

Actually you have that ability.

I would like to see an option to NOT have my name in yellow with the + in front of it. I think the biggest perk is no-adverts. I don't feel like I need my username to get special recognition for that.

there's already an option to be an anonymous subscriber

a) Only if you still have a normal option. I already havea t-shirt and I don't need a new one + shipping every year haha :laugh:

b) They are of horrible, horrible quality. Change the manufacturer first. I was greatly disappointed.

They should, have the logo on the front and "Powered by Hampsters" on the back or different ones for selection. :laugh:

I love what I have as a Subscriber already but it would be awesome to get a Neowin t-shirt when I renew my subs next year. And like remixedcat said bring me some strong coffe with plenty of sugar.

That option already exists in the form of an anonymous subscription. You get the benefits of being a tier 2 subscriber but without the yellow name and shiny badge.

just throwing this out there..... personal meet and greet with Steve... you'd jump subscription rates 10 fold to find out he is a real person not a cyborg

But he isn't, so as a followup to the massive disappointment there would be a severe drop as aftermath.

Naked?

I'd send him over to some lonely girls then, guess I can get that without sending money to Neowin though. :laugh:

To hell with cleaning. I need a good man to replace the siding on my house. Also, my guttering needs replaced.

Oh, and if there's time, I need him to finish my basement. No biggie, just drywall and tile floors. :p

One thing you could do is make a downloadable archive of "that" thread every year!

Which special thread?

As Confucius once said:

A good rig can distract you from a sh*tty house.

A good house can't distract you from a sh*tty rig though.

    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
