Bargain Thread 2021

Dammit!

Its the only way to save money.

What game is this? Grrrrrrrowl!

Were you on your phone when you posted about your Humble subscription? Because just yesterday I could swear I was posting a reply in the weekend gaming thread and it ended up being in another one. I think Discord has gremlins.

@wumpus always gets the blame

Naw I legit posted in the wrong thread. I think.

I’ve heard iconoclasts is good, and the other two are - very decent bundle.

Iconoclasts was a crash prone mess when I tried to play it earlier this year. I was very disappointed, so approach with caution!

I played it a couple of months back and had no issues. Fun game.

There’s yet another $1 sale on Xbox Gamepass for PC, I was able to reactivate my lapsed subscription for the $1 price as well.

Thank you. I wonder if its for Age of Empires 4 that they are doing this.

@legowarrior Seems likely - well worth it for that alone.

Sadly, with my luck, I will run out of time before playing anything. Still, worth a dollar.

Last time I did this, they also let me upgrade to the “Gamepass Ultimate” for $1, which in effect netted me two months for $2. You just have to wait until the first month is about to run out though, as it doesn’t credit you anything for time left.

Heroes of Hammerwatch and Battle for Polytopia are also quite good. It is one of the better bundles Fanatical has offered in some time, so I was glad to see it return.

Polytopia is incredible to play on the phone too (it’s mostly free, with a bunch of additional content to pay for). Game’s got it all.

Wait, so the whole “conversion of a whole mess of Gold to Ultimate” is on again (not for current subscribers)?

I don’t run out for another few months anyway.

@Papageno Well, for me at least, around mid-September I started getting an advertisement within the Xbox app that I could upgrade to ultimate for $1. That month just ran out, but lucky me, here they are again with another $1 deal for the base Gamepass for PC, which is all I really want anyways since I don’t own an Xbox.

I’m definitely going to investigate when this month is running out to see if it permits me do that upgrade again. I’ve had Gamepass on and off for about 6 months total now, and only once did I pay full price (Mid August - September 2021) - the rest were all $1.
