With Origin access and now Xbox game pass I think its only a matter of time until Valve does something similar.
Unless they can fully automate this or push the work to the community somehow, never gonna happen. As with everything on Steam.

From what I saw in the Nindies Presentation, Nintendo is being very clear what is timed exclusive, console exclusive or totally exclusive. Of course things may change in the future but they don't seem to be hiding information.

Having said that, I hope everything is released on pc and other consoles for that matter, as well as finding an audience on the switch. I'll probably buy a game or two there just for the portability.

After XSEED revealed Estival Versus for PC I was relieved that it was not mystery title 427700.
https://steamdb.info/sub/13578/apps/

However the same day they revealed the Estival store page they also updated 427700. I'm thinking that this mystery game is an old Falcom title; not Cold Steel, but perhaps something else from Falcom's library.

Based on the frequency of its updates, I'd rule out an older Falcom PC game since that seems to be Sara's realm, and I imagine she's pretty busy with the 3rd. So if it were a Falcom game, I'd guess it would be a port from console.

I mean, the offer @ that price would be insanely tempting. But no, subscription model future is not for me - I value the idea of ownership and being able to replay games I like too much.

this.

for the very same reason i'm still doubting to get origin access despite their recent addition of €25 a year subscription. that's an insane price

Is cdkeys.com legit?
Legit as in they won't scam you or sell stolen keys but other than that, grey area (since they are usually selling keys from games bought in cheap countries).
I've bought there multiple times and have never run into a problem personally.

CDKeys isn't "shady" in the sense that G2A are. My understanding is they bulk buy games from cheap regions and then resell them for a small profit.

Figured they must be a grey market reseller of some kind. Is there any kind of risk of getting keys rejected by Steam/Origin/uPlay/whatever? (I'm assuming none of the keys are stolen, just region shenanigans)

I suppose there's always a chance, but afaik they have been good at providing replacement keys in case of surprise region locks or whatever, or refunds.
Personally used them couple of times.

Just make it opt-in for devs in style of weeklong deals? And pay based on playtime during each month or whatever. Fairly easy to automate.
 
Playasia's Steam keys are grey market, so it's possible cdkeys could beat them since they're getting the keys from similar sources.

Didn't know that. Having second thoughts now. 30 is the absolute highest I can go right now though, like I said before I haven't been able to buy anything this year yet, I just can't afford it.

Setting up GSM and going through a bunch of old saves and deleting stuff I'm never going to need again. Freedom!

Also Witcher 3 saves take a lot of space, comparatively.
