We’re having a Stardock Halloween sale with up to 50% off on many games and DLCs.

https://www.stardock.com/games/store

I didn’t realize that Stardock was selling UQM now :0

edit: No, they’re calling their repackaging of SC1 & 2 “The Ur-Quan Masters”

Meanwhile the 3Do port is still out there

That’s as confusing as fuck

divedivedive · 2017-10-27T17:47:26.545Z

I didn’t know UQM cost money now.

Island_Dog · 2017-10-27T17:56:23.698Z

These are the original games from back then.

Mark_L · 2017-10-27T21:05:38.633Z

OK, here’s what I’m looking at:

Low Magic Age: $4.79
Tower of Time: $12.74
Caveblazers: $4.99
Golden Krone Hotel: $7.99
Songbringer: $4.99
Hyper Light Drifter: $9.99

What do y’all think?

AFAIK they are still working on the Xen levels for Black Mesa, but I haven’t checked in awhile.

Only summer and xmas sales are any good, and they suck in recent years too. Steam sales were much better when they had timed flash sales.

I’ve actually found that the Thanksgiving sale the past couple of years had as good or better deals than the Christmas Sales on a fair amount of higher profile games.

stusser · 2017-10-27T22:04:58.626Z

I always find halloween and thanksgiving sales to be garbage juice.

I hope that doesn’t mean Black & White getting moved back.

Hey, at least it’s not a studio they can destroy because they haven’t done anything that great!

Few things cheaper than Steam:

Age of Wonders 3 Collection 11.50 @ MacGameStore
Doom 12 @ DLGamer
Yesterday Origins 3.75 @ DLGamer

Woodlance:

Wait, what’s the point of having a wishlist more than a thousand game long? That’s like ten years’ worth of games.

IT’s more price tracking for things I have a basic interest in that might never buy or get in a bundle.

You know, you can just “Follow” a game on Steam and it will provide you a way to track news about that game :)

malkav11 · 2017-10-28T17:33:42.320Z

That’s way spammier than just price tracking via the wish list. and even that does some notifications that I wish it wouldn’t. like telling you a game is on sale when you just put it on the list during that sale.

You know, I do know that, but my feed is full as it is already with all the space games I follow. Wish list is much cleaner. You know.

Agreed. The Steam sale officially blows. Everything on my wishlist is $20. Doom, Tyranny, Witcher 3, Torment, Dying Light… If this was 2 or 3 years ago, they’d all be $10 now. Garbage.

I agree that THIS sale officially blows. My wishlist is not very long but more than half of that list is not on sale at all. Other games that regularly are 50% off are only marked down 25%. I am really not tempted to buy anything at all.

Moggraider · 2017-10-29T00:30:08.001Z

Definitely interested in Doom, but what is DLGamer? I note the use of Engrish on the site. Is this a reputable service?
