SOMA is already in the Humble Trove for monthly members, too.
Anyone else get charged a foreign transaction fee when purchasing from fanatical?
Not so far, no. Hmm, maybe I should check my CC statement more closely to make sure. Are you in the US?
Yeah, but I used PayPal instead of the usual process.
Orwell:Keeping An Eye On You is free on Steam at the moment. Is it worth the time?
You might get stuck pretty quickly like I did!
It seemed to be a very antiquated “flag raising” adventure game, and I lost patience after half an hour of clicking around, trying to find the trigger that would let me advance.
No hurt in trying it out and see if it is your thing, in my opinion.

I enjoyed it - a good 3-4 hour game
Weird. I’ve used Paypal for all my Fanatical purchases in the past, even as recently as last week, and have never been charged anything other than the bundle or game list price.
I called the credit card company, and they insisted it was correct. It was 20 cents, but I was annoyed.
Fanatical is a UK company.
Shadow Warrior 2 is free on GOG for a limited time.
I reached out to them and got a response. It maybe that because their PayPal processor is in the Netherlands, it might have triggered the fee. I wonder if making the purchase directly will avoid it.
Is your Paypal tied to a bank account or a credit card? Mine has my Discover as it’s primary funding source, and I don’t get charged any fees. My last transaction with Fanatical was Sept. 21 for $6.99 (bought the Slayer Bundle), paid with Paypal, no added fees and I’m in the US. Makes me wonder if they charge the fee if the money comes from a bank account versus an international credit card company.
Grrr, I don’t have time to play the games I do buy, now everyone is starting to give them away for free!
Keep in mind, not all credit cards charge a fee.

Yeah, many of the better credit cards don’t charge foreign transaction fees.
