I thought that was always the case, publishers doing sales and volvo promoting them.
If that's not the case, how does that work?

Self-sabotage - with no promotion, there'll be few sales. Then they'll use those poor sales figures as an excuse to not release anymore FF games on Steam.
not gonna happen, you know that as well as the rest of us
you should be glad that they finally started including FF games into their surprise boxes, so that's one way to get them real cheap.
Valve still organises Dailies, Midweek Madness, Weekend Deals and publisher sales itself. It doesn't highlight sales that publishers set up themselves.
I bought FF X/X-2 at release for 14,99€. It's been nine months and the cheapest it's ever been is still only 2€ cheaper, lol.
It still kills me that Square Enix hasn't put Chrono Trigger on Steam yet.
That's rather odd, isn't it preferable for publishers to do all work themselves? I thought that's a valve's way. I mean in that case they just slap the banner and are done with it. I understand them doing dailies, midweek and weekend deals, because who else can.
you should buy Atelier Sophie instead

Anyone knows where to see when Bandai-Namco unlocked games for a specific region?
I just noticed One Piece Burning Blood somehow is now available in China, Naruto still not.

That stuff isn't telegraphed unless it's a region-specific app.
Edit: Oops, I assumed you were talking about being able to view a previously region-locked store page.

Ios is always cheaper
Inwonder if Hidden folks might be as addictive as picross for me...
SteamDB says 10th February in price graph for first (and only) price.

Thanks. I actually wonder why only that game though. Pirate Warriors is still locked as is Xenoverse 1 (Xenoverse 2 is available) and the Naruto games.
No.
Man I adore Defcon, but that looks like shit.
I'm picking it up this week.
Looks charming as F.
Presentation looks ace and it has a great price too.
Awesome!
I remember defcon being one of the earliest games I bought on Steam. I'll probably do the same with the next VR headset

Is this normal?
Look at the yellow line, the first panel on the right is ok, but the more I solve puzzles, the more the light line becomes invisible.
Tried to verify the cache but there was nothing wrong.
Relax mate, it's normal; the lines ARE SUPPOSED to become invisible.
Oh, ok, I thought it was the latest Nvidia driver being shitty as usual.

So what is your opinion on Groupees diversifying its portfolio? Literally, 🎮⛽️-subscription + bundle + bitcoin-style + charity + Trump parody (Make something Great Happen).
They are? I don't remember that at all.

Has anybody been getting this bug on the Steam client? When an update for a game is on queue, before I would go the Downloads section and there the game would display along with the timeframe on when it will begin updating.
Nowadays, games that get an update are no longer displayed in my Downloads section plus the Steam icon on the bottom would be highlighted yellow, something that has never happened before. I've tried opting out of Steam beta, changing the skin to the normal Steam layout. I went even as far as uninstalling and reinstalling Steam and also clearing out the download cache. So far nothing's worked and I can't find a thing about this online.

Yeah, I noticed that today. I've just been restarting the client to trigger the download.

Any hints on how to solve this and why?
There's another, similar puzzle opposite of it.
Solved it, thanks.

What I've been doing as of late is scrolling through my large ass library (though it's small potatoes compared to yours heh) and just verifying the cache on each game needing updating.
I hope Steam fixes this problem. Very annoying.
That was my first thought, too, but it'd take longer with larger games.
This trend isn't new. There are several sites that constantly have sales, so it's more likely you will buy from those instead directly on Steam store. Plus there are new bundles every week from different bundle pages

I cannot answer the first question without spoiling the game.
The puzzles which I found impossible are easy for others. The puzzles that others find hard were the easiest for me.
There was a time I would have bought this in a heartbeat, now I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. There's just no way they'll have a good bundle every month. I'm sure Groupees misses the Steam curation more than anyone.

Oh really?
Ok then don't.
Let us just say that there is more to the game than you could think.
Close to pulling the trigger on the Freedom Bundle. Only slightly sad on missing out on Subnautica. Not because I would probably like to play it. I hate underwater games. I enjoyed ABZU despite it being a swimming game (mostly because it is so pretty!). More sad because I get less value for my money eventhough the value is still incredible.
The only reason I wanted the bundle was due to The Witness and Subnautica.
Now that Subnautica is there no more, I feel sad I hesitated to pull the trigger and don't feel like buying the bundle now

I think it's a 'proper' sale since they have a landing page as well. It's just not advertised on the Steam front page.
Have a bunch of these and they only have value when Groupees say they do. And they usually exclude all pre-orders or good deals. It's like getting a rebate coupon that only works if the store feels like honoring it.
There are about a dozen core ideas that form the basis for all the puzzles. No puzzle is ever repeated as far as I know. And they get hard as fuck to solve later on.
It was their own fault. They followed the Indiegala route of pushing multiple bundles every week which led to a dive in the average quality of the games being sold.
That being said, the fact that Steam opened the flood gates allowed Groupees and IG to behave the way they did.
Personally, I'll wait to see what each bundle offers and then decide if it's worth the purchase or not. Here's hoping I'll finally find a use for my $10 coin...

Origin Access free for 7 days.
It asks for a payment option though, you have to cancel it before the time expires or you will be charged.
UPDATE: The promotion is up until the 7th of March.
