Tales of Berseria has been on the first page of top sellers(at least in the US) for almost 3 weeks now. I wonder if it is doing OK sales wise. Has any other JRPG stuck around that long?

Currently sitting at 63k owners and it has been going up by a few thousand nearly every day.
I'd say it's doing very good.

So CK2 is celebrating its Big 5 Year Anniversary tomorrow.

Anyone want to start a thread celebrating this milestone over on Gaming?

I can't believe it's been 5 years myself. Yet the game still has major DLC being released to this day (Monks and Mystics coming soon).

Damn this game has legs.

So I got a new debit card and when I try to add it to my Steam account I keep getting a message that my purchase has been declined. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

And it's doing that at full price without any incentive other than being released at the game's actual western launch, and with a competent port. Some companies should take notes.

What amazes me more is how it's performing close to Zestiria. I expected a 50% drop in sales because of being a pseudo sequel/prequel. But yeah, who could've thought that releasing a game day and date and not delayed or 4 days before the actual release would result in more sales ! :")

If SE took notes, NieR Automata would release day and date and we'd have that demo on Steam.

Yeah, who would have though that selling a game while it is new, being marketed and being talked about would make it sell. What a shocking revelation.
And yet there are still people believing that late ports and double-dipping make more money overall because... reasons.

In some way it's actually doing better than Zestiria, since around 50k sales of that one were because of Tales of Symphonia being a preorder bonus - Berseria is selling that much on its own merits.

Are you in the US? If not, your provider might be blocking payments to foreign recipients.

I first read it as the following and thought things escalated very quickly in the US this year.

Are you in the US? If yes, your provider might be blocking payments by foreigners.

Regarding the initial problem, I encountered it twice in the past:
  • once during Steam sales, as my bank was not enjoying getting many purchases for a little amount of money each, at the same store.
  • another time, and I think it was Steam payment processing having a technical downtime.

I wonder if South Park is ever going to be released. There's a sub with what I assume is all 277 episodes plus the movie and the Six Days to Air documentary, but it hasn't been touched since last year's season ended, and S20 was accidentally released on the store almost half a year ago now but I couldn't watch the episodes even if I wanted to as the apps were made private again.

Is Planet Coaster not family shareable because it uses Denuvo or did the devs disable it themselves?

It's shareable. The exclusion flag isn't present and the game's FAQ actually covers this question. The Family Sharing system isn't perfect, though, and a random selection of games that are supposed to be shareable won't appear in shared libraries for no discernible reason (e.g. in my case I can't share Advanced Warfare, a couple of Resident Evil games, South Park, and god knows what else). I wish Valve would fix this.

Hahaha get fucked UK haha... oh wait that's me. Fuck.

Still not watched any walking dead but intend to do so whenever I see a good opertunity.

Signed up to Amazon prime and netflix a couple of days ago, but UK doesn't get them and I ain't paying for more subs... other than Spotify and Endomondo, also subbed two days ago

only season 1 is worth it.

South is another one I could endlessly watch. Interested to see if it actually shows up eventually

At this point, my only guess is that Comedy Central is waiting for The Fractured But Whole to hit. But even that doesn't have a release date yet!

I had to restart my client for PC to appear. Is the family share disabled flag easily visible at SteamDB?
I can see Advanced Warfare from my friend just fine here, weird.

Also do you know if Valve is aware that broadcasting at ultrawide resolution is broken?

Walking Dead tv show is kinda meh. I made it through 3 seasons before being bored to death by it all. Couldn't do anymore after that. I really can't believe they are on season 8 now wtf.

Yeah. If you view an app's info tab and "exfgls" is listed, then it's excluded. Unreleased games are excluded by default these days.

Also do you know if Valve is aware that broadcasting at ultrawide resolution is broken?

I'm sure it's on a bug tracker list, right alongside "The unlock countdown timer on store pages is an hour off" and "Firefox users can't invite people to groups". ;)
