It’s a Steam key, so I’d assume the info on Steam’s website is more reliable than the info on GamersGate.

I can confirm that Monster Slayers definitely works on Mac.
It was PC-only for a few hours on release, which might explain why Gamersgate got its listing confused.
Lol 2 weeks late for the THQ bundle and I get no google juice for breaking the news early

New style DualShock 4 with PC dongle and charging cradle for $40.
Does that dongle do anything special? Is it any better than DS4 Windows?
“By connecting the product to the USB port of a Windows PC or Mac, you can connect the DUALSHOCK 4 wirelessly via Bluetooth.”
Mark me confused!
Sounds like it’s a Bluetooth dongle.
That’s pretty cool. Finally an acknowledgement that most of us still have computers from an era where motherboards did not come with bluetooth. Mine computer is from 2010. I’ve upgraded my video card twice, but everything else is the same.
Hmm, I’m still not sure whether I want to switch to the DS4 full time, but that seems like a handy option to have for PC.
Limited reports I’ve read say that it provides lower latency than generic Bluetooth options and can be used in conjunction with DS4W.
You already have a DS4 controller, since you have a PS4. So do I. You don’t need a second one. Same with Xbox One controllers, you can just hook them up to your PC via USB, and they start working.
Though when I used the DS4 this weekend with Don’t Starve on PC, it was awkward. Unlike a 360 controller, the game doesn’t recognize the DS4 specifically, so it’s just treated like a generic controller, and the UI gets really ugly with large lines of text saying things like “Button 6 -> eat, Button 7->Drop”, etc. The 360 and XB1 control UI is a lot cleaner and pretty in comparison.
Don’t worry, I’m fine. The dongle and charging station cost almost the entire sale price and I could actually use them, so 10 bucks to have a spare and so I don’t have to walk between rooms. Not to mention kids that are going to want to play soon.
I realize the button prompts would be wrong on a lot of games. It would be for beat 'em ups where I know what I’m doing. Haven’t decided.
Doesn’t the Steam controller implementation deal with stuff like that these days?
