But it’s your fault you didn’t get the Humble bundle, not Steam’s. ;-)
Didn’t say it was, lol.
Fantastic choices, all of them.
Okay folks and thank you. It seems like it will be Wolfenstein, Brigador and Bayonetta. Trigger being pulled . You guys are great.
Thanks for the enthusiasm, @habibi, @BrianRubin, and @rhamorim :)
Now let’s just hope I find time to play any of those in the next calendar year. . .
Don’t ever launch LOGistICAL or you can say goodbye to your calendar!
See, I looked at that game and was thinking maybe I have to play it to get its charm, because the videos and screenshots weren’t telling me squat. I’ll see if there’s a demo.
LOGistICAL apparently doesn’t work on Mac so I’m safe from its charms.
My work will thank you for this. I’m hooked to Caves of Qud during lunch time and in between meeting and it’s largely text base let me get away as work thinks it’s some sort of green screen emulator I’m using. LOL.
I couldn’t even get it to work in all the sort of Wine setups I tried sigh
Only one out of those I played. Liked most of it quite a bit.
Not Steam, but Walmart has the digital code for XCOM 2 Reinforcement Pack for $4.49.
Half off Steam’s current sale and a historical low I think.
I may have to break my “no Walmart” policy for that.
I considered buying PoE, but as it turns out they increased their base price prior to the sale, making a 60% discount not quite as nice as it could have been. Which has now netted them a ‘mostly negative’ review count…
I know this kind of behaviour (fake discounts) is ‘normal’ practice in some retail branches, but I don’t think I’ve seen it on Steam before? Or did I just not pay enough attention?
Yep, I did, code came within 5 minutes of order.
It might depend on your zone.
In the Euro zone, where such practice is supposed to be illegal, it is not common, but it happens regularly.
I still remember when Stardock, who was one of those few nice guys actively fighting the Dollar=Euro scam, decided to raise the pricing of all their games a couple years back, the day before a Steam sale as well.
Rockstar is a bit more upfront, raising sometimes their prices depending on their mood, not Valve’s agenda.
When it happens, it is funny how consistently Valve is blamed for such pricing fluctuation, as if publishers didn’t decide themself of the pricing of their games on Steam.
Well, based on the comments, people are not blaming Valve for this one… As for it happening more often: I guess I’ll have to start paying attention then!
Anyway, I’ll just wait a bit longer, I can certainly do without another time sink :-).
Ah oops, I meant the publishers were trying to reject the fault on Valve, sorry for not being clear! Adding insult to injury is a common trend…
Well, PoE is published by Paradox who recently said they were rolling back their price increases, and refunding monies after the Steam sale ends.
GTA V have very high system requirements. A 1GB video RAM barely suffice. I should have read the specs properly. Ugh!
