if you mean their 20-25% codes then no...they aren't doing those anymore since the members pricing thing is replacing that
if you mean will certain games get those discounts for pre-ordering then maybe but won't really know until after their Summer Sale is over and we see what their new normal is going to be

I'm still seeing games not listed in the summer sale at 20-25% off.
Not sure what you guys are talking about.

You should try DS3. Unlike DS2, which is a poor man's Uncharted (and Uncharted is already a bad game), Dead Space 3 plays like Resident Evil 4 but without any of the finesse, but still makes up for a very enjoyable experience. I'd put it on par with Resident Evil 5 and 6.
we actually already know, right before change I had 25% discounts on preorders: Setsuna, DX:MD, new South Park and Battlefield 1, after an update my personal discounts were - Setsuna - no discount at all, DX MD - 20%, South Park - 15% and BF1 - 12%.
Let's face it, that is the end.
There is a pretty big difference between Dead Space 2 and Uncharted.
Dead Space 2's combat is actually fun :^)
I don't know what it is, but Dead Space 1 makes me unusually nostalgic for a game of its age. Still remember when i picked up the box in a store and read about it having TAKTISCHE ZERSTÜCKELUNG (strategic dismemberment) on the back.

You can pretty much ignore that one. Doesn't have the charm and cheese of the other EDF games.
yes, the end of 25% vouchers (or any vouchers), it is in a plain text on gmg site.
so literally that was the last time.

It's literally just one less step at checkout is all.

That new Humble Bundle is--
oh my god
The continued timing of this stuff is absolutely unreal.

which I'll never get to anymore, checkout that is, as there is no point.

I guess, if you don't like good deals and you need to physically input a magic code to make you feel good about your purchase.
But the thing he wants to say is that the deals aren't as good anymore without vouchers.
Like from -25% to an amazing -0% for Setsuna in EU as an example. Yay?

Going through my backlog (once again, cause I can,) finished a totally-free point-and-click called Absent. Marked my 40th perfect game on Steam. Apart from the voice acting, some of the music, and the sound, it was the work of one man...and it was really good. Sure, the animations were pretty bad, there are no graphic options so you're stuck with a small window, there were some classic time paradoxes (objects with no origin, etc.) and one particular puzzle had bad conveyance - the portable ladder puzzle - but it was one of the more enjoyable point-and-clicks I've played. And the price is right.
My question, though: if I delete the local content from a free game, it also removes the game from my library. Does that mean I lose the achievements and the perfect game from my record as well?

what good deals? which part of I don't see any 25% discount in preorders anymore you don't understand? Even 20% are scarce.

Yeah, I don't think the site wide 25% off voucher was meant to last forever.
there is still discounts that were there before, like 20 percent off Civ 6 pre-order
maybe the pre-order sale on Setsuna stopped because *gasp* it came out or was close to coming out
maybe it ended because most sales and vouchers on that site were always for a limited time
you are preaching a lot of doom and gloom with little more than circumstantial evidence

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
The local content being deleted won't remove your achievements, as they're tied to your profile. I had a similar question when I was playing Path of Exile (free) pretty regularly then wanted to remove it to free up some space.
The game won't show in your library any more, but your online profile will still show your playtime in the game and your achievements - and if you re-install it later you'll be able to see those things in your client as well.
you didn't use gmg much, I suppose
that would explain this conversation.
25% vouchers on preaorders were pretty common
20% vouchers were pretty much permanent.
if anything, I'm not saying you not to use gmg, I was just saying that's it for me, EU prices being what they are.

Awesome. So I can delete it with impunity. Thanks for your help!
Never buying GMG mystery bundles again

I use it all the time. It's pretty much the go to site for new releases.
I don't think we have anything to worry about though. The fact that you can still get Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at 20% off is a good sign.
Speaking on a similar topic - I've noticed a bunch of free games that I used to have in the ye olde days of Steam, are not in my library or in the store - however, if I look via SteamDB, I can download it via their link only? Why?
For example, one such game is Codename Gordon
Family share breaks that list.Why has Steam recently played list advertised Dota 2 to me for two weeks already?

You can even remove the license from your account, the number of achievements won't go down.
Yes, but, here's the deal: why would you waste a fine combat on a "cinematic experience", which, according to MP standards, is the objectively worst genre ever.
Not only that, but the game has some awful voice acting and the plot is some batshit insane mess, and the level design is a downgrade in every sense compared to the first game.
But yes, I too feel an weird nostalgia for the first game. Still one of my faves from last gen.
20% still makes it almost 50 euro, no go.
it was the day when gmg update went live, meaning Setsuna was still a preorder, now you can gasp
25% voucher was for july btw, now it is gone, forever.
Doom and gloom is my second name, I did doom and gloom part when region locking started, how that ended exactly? The same with microtransactions, day one dlcs, season passes, digital game prices rising and region locking yet again.
I also live in poor part of EU everybody keeps pretending doesn't exist and charge as more than the rest of the world, My doom and gloom talk is not severe enough if anything, given recent history.
you can't win this one, Ozzie
To add to this, you can actually refund a game and then if you buy it at a later date, you will still have all your achievements, cloud saves etc
The dream is real. I would welcome them, as well as if they made the pricing of their games at launch actually reasonable
in your dreams only, although I admit, that would be hilarious

So.... Battleborn for $15.
May not even be worth that much for single-player. I've watched the videos, and if you're expecting Borderlands you're going to be disappointed.

Finally got the SDCC Exclusive DLC up on the storefront.
It's a fun game with shitty art direction and a schizophrenicly short single-player campaign.

I am so torn over the Humble bundle. I feel I should get it, at least for the Pre-sequel but i have no real urge to play Battleborn or the Boarderlands game right now and i own most everything else. Am I losing my hordering instinct?
What if Vivendi dismantles ubisoft for Uplay?

Ok, I'll keep that in mind, I had the impression it was mostly panned
This is a monster hunter-em up yes?
Which it was and still is. Let's just say MP's opinion is one not many will share.
Yes, it's a hunting game and it's a good one.
I've really got to stop getting God Eater and God Hand mixed up
This post in the OT makes clear the similarities and differences between the two franchises.
I'm pretty stoked about GE2 but I'll wait until we receive word about the quality of the port before jumping into it.

Excellent, of the new Rise of the Tomb Raider content is just an extension of the Season Pass, which I already own.
