Update: Steam now prioritizes "helpful" reviews. For Barro, this has resulted in troll reviews being replaced by misleading ones, so arguably this has made things even worse

Fun fact: All the games have the exact same filesize because if you buy one game, you also download the assets for all the other games, the dev probably just changed one single variable to determine which one of the games you are playing.

EDIT: yea I didn't see that it was stated in the video, but now you know, personally I found out about this by extracting one of the games and finding the assets of all the other games

When you realize the official Steam racing fest 2025 trailer has included a small clip of Barro 💀💀💀

big rigs clears

To be fair to Barro F, it really captured the essemce of what modern f1 tracks are made to be. Flat and repetitive

I still cant believe that youre shielding yourself of playing iranian games because the last one was a LIFE THREATENING EXPERIENCE for you.
Absolute cinema of youtube, youre a gem.

Sc Jogos is one of the gaming "companies" that makes the Brazilian gaming industry so disrespected around the world. This reminded me of the game "Mineirinho", which even though the creator publicly offended those who criticized his game, thousands of users gave him money, and he became a famous programmer even though his game was horrible. But here's a funny thing: the word "barro" means Mud in Portuguese.

Hey, it's me! I can't believe that guy is still making asset flips.

1:28 absolutely unfair the fact of existence Desert Bus in this list. It was part of performance and it was never sold. Being not fun was a feature, not bug, unlike other games in this list.

Sepi is going to have a field day when he learns about phoenix games and one of their disastrous racing game called 'Drag Racer USA'.

5:43 The "built from the ground up" thing is going to be a meme for years lmaoo

To anyone who wondering why this games even got sales, it simple - many people who got wrong regions (any region that was blocked by publishers/devs) want to play their favorite games, but sadly that games not available in their region, so people buying region swap somewhere on the internet and for verification you need to buy something, so people buying this cheap shit. That's it.

Another reason for popularity of Barro games is that for some time they were cheapest when sorting by price on Steam store and they still remain about the top of hundreds of "games" with the same price on that list. There are several reasons to buy the cheapest game such as too keep a bot account active. How the dev achieved being the cheapest? Maybe by using exploits, maybe the fact that they themself registered from specific country allowed that, maybe by luck of changing currency rates, maybe no one else tried really, maybe all of the above. The fact that steam somehow recognizes these as legit games with trading cards available certainly helped.

The guy who made this crap is brazilian, and he lives close to me, and "barro" means mud in portuguese

Well you convinced me, buys every Barro game and DLC

This game has another major purpose. It is used to change steam region. I'll share my experience:

I am from Bangladesh. Thanks to limitations of Steam region and pricing practices of bigger developers, we Bangladeshi gamers are stuck with "South Asia" region and can never be able to buy games in affordable pricing. Games are literally charged at prices equivalent to apartment rent in capital city here. And AAA games are priced at money that can rent you a 2-3 bedroom apartment at the heart of the city.

When Argentina region used to exist, we'd change our region there. Because it was one of the 2 countries where games were relatively affordable. Just to let you know the scale, purchasing power of Argentine people were twice as much as Bangladeshis. Back to point, there are services that changes region to a different country for you, in this case, Argentina (or Turkey). To change Steam region, you need to purchase a game from Steam using Argentine credit card and Barro Racing happen to be one of the cheapest product on Steam. So, the Argentines who provided that service maximized their profit margin while providing the service. Let me remind you, this involves heavy risk of providing your account credential to an unknown foreigner.

Currently, Argentina and Turkey Steam region has been dissolved. Now people generally switch to Ukraine, Colombia, India... It depends on what kind of game that person plays and their pricing in that region. For example, despite many games having high price, I moved mine to Colombia, because Fallout 1st subscription is the cheapest there. Meanwhile one of my friends changed to Ukraine because what he wanted to play was cheapest there.

In a nation where products are so expensive for average consumers to purchase, this is the only way to play video games that are multiplayer or hasn't been pirated yet.

this crap also lands in these key reseller key bundles, they ¨guarantee¨ a certain ¨value¨ and review score so there are a bunch of studios dedicated to generating money with that. Iether make card farm games or buy reviews, sell the keys to G2A or whoever and raise the price so that you basically lock in your review score cause nobody will buy it normally. G2A can now claim they gave you a 20$ game with 90% good reviews and both the key resellers and the studio profits.

Damn, makes SuperTuxCart look like a AAA-game. And that one is FREE AND OPEN SOUCE YUEPPPEE!!1
