No. I forgot to re-up. Please check the bytes stored on one of your uninstalled games.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Hmm, I have 0 bytes stored for Mad Max.

It's a very popular anime/manga. Everyone on my social media feeds talked about it a couple years ago. The memes are everywhere. I expect more attention from PC gamers due to those factors.
Edit: Apparently the game has jumped to 80% positive reviews now? Wut.

This is really neat. I'm surprised how many games there are here I already played about a dozen. Their 3D arena version of agar.io would be a lot of fun full of people.
Deuce is quite neat and by far the most polished out of the group. It's a one on one arcade tennis game with the framing of a fighting game with a life bar and super meter. It launched fullscreen and has resolution and graphics options, has transition screens and lots of art, two characters and two courts. It's fun!

K-T/Anime kids are bad when it comes to this.
Look at the shitty OP port. Even that has enough positive reviews, even though the graphical options didnt work at all, no 360 controller prompts etc.
I actually wonder what happened, because the Arslan port, besides that it ran bad on older GPUs, was actually a good port with 4k resolution.
Edit: Damn. When will K-T learn? It seems they still havent fixed the W8/W10 bug and you have to set it to W7 compatibility to avoid most crashes. I mean K-T should know about this long enough and they actually do, because the Arslan.exe was set to W7 on default...

I don't get how folks aren't already fed up, it's happened time and time again but some people still get their hopes up that some port of a budget tier game is going be good somehow when the last dozen ports have been bad.

Interesting article. (Or blog post? Whatevs.) Thanks for the link!
I think the thing Arcen needs to come to terms with is that the strategy genre is vastly underserved compared to the bustling "Early Access action game" genre, which is why there's such a gulf in mindshare. (Not to mention the eye-catching "from the makers of A.I. War" no doubt mention somewhere.) Like I hadn't even heard of their latest game; and honestly, after I burned myself buying A Valley Without Wind 1, I dunno that I cared. But at least with a strategy title, I can look at it and go "that's a cool idea."
The biggest news in there is the near-absolute confirmation of an A.I. War: Fleet Command 2 Kickstarter. Hopefully they can find some success there. Since RTSes in general have died out, I imagine it is a pitch that will be quite popular.
Well, I mean, their last few games have struggled too, so it's not just a matter of "early access action game" fatigue.
I'm actually not sure AI War is the answer these days. AI War released at a very good time, when strategy games, particularly space based ones, were pretty rare. Now that the strategy resurgance has happened, and in particular a lot of space based ones, I'm not sure if it'll make nearly the same waves as it did.

I'd believe it. Vlambeer knows how to make a game.
Like, I don't even like playing Luftrausers, and yet I LOVE Luftrausers.
As far as a strategy resurgence, it's been pretty focused on turn-based games, with RTSes receiving much less love, and space RTSes even less. In particular, 4Xes, and unique takes on them, have exploded; great for me, but not so much for AI War fans.
I guess we'll see when it (presumably) hits Kickstarter, but I figure there's a lot of fans sitting on the sidelines for another space RTS.

Their EA raptor game is on a new level of poor sales; they even put it their previous game, which they called out at the time as having very distressing sales. Raptorgame was up on Steam for 2 days and now it's gone.

The last ones havent been bad.
Arslan was pretty good and SW2-2 was actually also not really bad.
It actually seems different teams sit on differrent ports. I mean the Arslan port has 4k support and everything PC-gamers would want, AoT not even Vsync in Fullscreen it seems. Arslan sets the W7 mode on default to avoid crashes, AoT not.

I don't know what's wrong with me, but even now, I still want Arslan.
It's the closest I'm ever going to get to a Fullmetal Alchemist video game on PC.

The Arslan port isnt bad, though its quite demanding. At least on my old 280x it was hard to keep a stable 60fps/1080p.
But the game itself is.... quite boring. While the other K-T games are somehow fun, this one feels like a Musou ripoff. I mean the jump itself is so strange and feels like its from a PSX game.
Also some animations are 30fps, so it looks quite strange.
Exactly! It's one of those things where I'm not good at the game, but I still can't stop playing it. I played Luftrausers on Vita for hours and hours, and I think I started mastering it just as I stopped playing.
I'm super glad I went all in on that current Humble Bundle, I played Nuclear Throne on PS4 quite a bit but now that I have it on PC, all my free time between things will be popping this game on.

Now I really hope there is a KT Humble Bundle in the future. Enjoy those shitty ports.
So that's where the extra credit in my wallet came from.
Didnt it JUST come out?
August 25th, yup
I was gonna say "the game looks like bundle fodder what did they expect" but I guess they were chasing that quirky I Am Bread / Octodad / Goat Simulator money?
Thanks, just bought it.

If I buy that Raptor game now, will I get a refund when its being pulled?

Heh, from the blog post:
There's also some fun shade thrown at No Man's Sky as a bonus too.
doubt it since it seems people already got refunds?
still bought it because I am a sucker for kusoge

The will of Steins;Gate will be experienced by all Steam users on September 9th (JST - looks like it will launch on the 8th in the US, at least) for $35 ($30 with launch discount), will feature trading cards and achievements as extra features.
MAGES claims they will be using Steam for further 'deployment' in the future, as well. Stealth hint at 0?

Be pretty surprised if they didn't. How do they know why you bought it? I, for one, just bought purely coincidentally as I thought it clearly was a quality product and I wanted to get in on "the ground floor" in a selfless way to aid the games development.
I just hope they fix the spacing issues.
Or that someone from the community (ReadingSteiner?) releases a patch for that.
Looks really terrible.
Regarding Steamspy transparency, it seems there's some pubs/devs who are going "Yey" for the full reveal of numbers, but also wariness from others?

Worth reading the Tweet-thread (it's not that long), but some selections
Unrelated to that...
Wonder what the UK price will be. :/ With the pound/dollar in the gutter still, pubs are going to up the UK price sooner or later to counter the poor exchange-rate, and the pound/yen seems to be just as bad.

@retroremakes also had a (now) well known studio tell me they almost or did lose a project due to my stuff

Wait, is it not Raptor Simulator?
Personally, the two downsides of the game which made me lose interest are:
1) it looked like Goat Simulator,
2) the explosions in the trailer looked awful. If I want to play a raptor, I want to attack people, not machines.
What if I buy it now from the Humble store for 10% additional discount?

Could you link to where to buy this game please?
To be honest, the steam page does a terrible job of marketing it for to people who, like me, don't already know what this is. I mean...
Seriously? That's it? The first time I read that I thought the page was for an actual anime series (steam is selling movies now, after all), and not for a game. And all the 4 trailers there don't show any gameplay just anime-ish cutscenes (unless I missed VERY short bits of it by quickily stepping with the progress slider), which only reinforced this impression.

Yeah but it is priced 60 (without the discount), is only known to connoisseurs, and comes after I gave my money to NMS and Obduction.
"Experience the illusion of being in the anime" seems pretty clear to me its not the anime.
Although the reason I know about it is because its very popular, I haven't seen it myself, like most anime in general.
