I think the new Steam library has similar requirements. I hope they use it for graphs and videos and not just fancy shadows/animations.

You don’t know what you’re missing out on :)

I just uninstalled & reinstalled the launcher and it works again.

EDIT: Well, now the library says that none of my games are installed. Granted, I only have 2 installed, but the Install button is showing and if I click on it it asks for location. It can’t determine that it’s already installed?

I guess when you uninstall it, it forgets everything.

EDIT EDIT: Holy shit, it actually removed my games. I thought the launcher just forgot where they were, but the games are gone.

I don’t even know what to say. Sheer incompetence is an understatement. My upload speed is so pathetic (10mb). Oh well I haven’t played either game much in the past few months. They can stay uninstalled.

Just a warning for others!

Black Friday Sale

I haven’t watched it yet, but it looks like 75% off everything. Or up to that amount.

6182

Sales is pretty good. Division 2 is $14.99 - very tempting. Red Dead R2 is $47.99

6183

Damn, Control didn’t make the sale.

6184

Ooohh. The price was my last hurdle. I really didn’t see this game on any kind of sale for a long, long time. I have no more reasons not to buy it.

Other than hard drive space. I still have to clear some room before I install it. Guess I should buy it now though.

Sweet. Thanks for the reminder.

I already own it for Xbox since it launched, but now I can play it on PC too!

Someone got paid to write that.

TL;DR

Did it work? Probably. It’s hard to know without concrete sales figures, and the only numbers we have are almost a year old.

6190

More appropriate for this thread, my comment from the Wallet Threat thread: Looks like there’s now a phenomena of “Epic sucks, will wait for Steam” people now going “it should be 99% off now since a whole year has passed! Screw this game!” after “boycotting” Epic.

I hope that the Epic money more than offsets this for developers.

6191

Of course developers can’t expect to sell their game at full price a year later (at least when it’s on sale). This wouldn’t be the expectation for steam games, so why should it be for games that chose to come to steam a year later?

6192

I find that’s more of a hypocrisy from those that claim they would “support the developer if it was on Steam”

6193

How is it hypocrisy? The dev chose to spend a year on a store fewer people buy from. That’s their decision. You can’t expect a year-old game to sell like new.

Additionally, if you tell the dev “hey, I’ll do you a favor and buy you like new when you come to steam”, you’re just rewarding the same behavior. Makes no sense if you don’t believe in exclusivity.

6194

I don’t know if it’s hypocrisy or not, but once you tell me to wait a year for your game, sorry. It’s now in “sale price only” territory.

6195

No one told you to wait a year. That was a personal choice.

6196

Agreed. I’m not paying full price for a year-old game. Sale territory for me.

6197

It’s amazing how digital media is discounted so quickly, more so then any other game or toy.

In the past, you could make a claim that graphic and game improvements meant that newer games were of better value then older games, but I don’t think that claim holds as much water as before.

And I say that as some that only buys games on sale.

6198

Yeah. I am not paying their full asking price after it’s been a year out. I don’t care if they made it exclusive. This should surprise no one.
