Bargain Thread 2020

Steam is gonna make me play games I own, nooooooo!

Hm, I thought I looked at this and it was like $14.98 USD which was 2c short of qualifying for the coupon. But maybe I’m misremembering.

Wait, I thought you can no longer use the Epic 10$ coupon on The Witcher 3 because they ninja-edited the price?!

THOSE BASTARDS!!! It appears they did edit the price on the Epic Store to be $14.98, a penny shy of the $14.99 qualifying point for using the $10 coupon. Not cool Epic Store…not cool. Thanks for the heads up guys.

Thanks for your updates. I find a lot of interesting stuff in there.

It’s really interesting… who is responsible for this price edit? Possibilities:

  1. Epic is shouldering only some of the $10, and CDPR wasn’t willing to play along.
  2. CDPR doesn’t want the perceived price of the game to sink even faster.
  3. ???

It’s number 2. Epic started doing the coupons so that the advertised prices wouldn’t go below what devs/pubs wanted when they wanted to fully cover a $10 discount.

Civ 6 free on Epic

Who is even buying games these days

Who is even reading threads these days.

I’m going to try this, if only to see if they fixed the performance.

Wait till we get paid to play games, probably in 2021, I am calling it!

oops. i scrolled back to literally the post below that, haha.

@BrianRubin was way ahead of you.

Like these guys.

(hat tip to someone in the “90s game ads were terrible” thread)

Gotta tighten up those graphics.

Only on level 2 though.

Probably have to drill holes in the graphics first.

You mean in the monitor.

Well that’s how you get to the graphics.

Also the more holes, the better the HDR luminosity looks.

Wait what thread is this?
