I don't see any harm in trying, it took us 10 years of begging to get Suikoden games on PSN, but nobody believed Konami will do even that.
if you have a twitter account, just tweet
Can't say I agree on this. Some games designed for a gamepad don't lend themselves to being played with a mouse and keyboard, no matter how hard you try to come up with an alternate control scheme for them. In cases like that, the developer is arguably better off not supporting m/kb at all, which discourages people without a gamepad from buying the game, rather than shoehorning in halfassed m/kb support that's still going to leave the game unplayable and will also make the person who bought it feel like they wasted their money.
Steamspy uses statistical analysis of public data, so I don't really see why Paradox would think galyonkin has to ask them for permission here?
While the data is public, I believe the public data wasn't meant to be used to create sales statistics. Steamspy is just making it easier to see the statistics
I wish somebody finally explained me why sale numbers have to be hidden or secret in the first place.
As for Paradox request, it's their choice, of course, but we don't have to like it and I don't.

Honestly even if it doesn't result in anything.
I'm still gonna join in. I got nothing to lose anyways.
Doesn't look like it. I tried registering some keys for a giveaway and I've yet to receive the post code pm.

Exactly. Just... don't get your hopes up, is what I mean

look at my avatar
Then accept the fact that I am blind optimist.
And that I am also batshit insane.
I can handle disappointment; but I'd rather do the littlest of things even if they do not bear any fruit, than do nothing at all.
Why else do you think I've made giveaways of so many games over the years :3

GB will do a 'Quick Look Live!: Mirror's Edge Catalyst Live Show' in six hours.
There are cases where I might agree but the fact that the Dangerous Golf devs were completely oblivious to someone having an issue with no kbm, the way they responded to complaints, didn't even think to include a warning at first (and hiding it out of immediate view now) and that it's a golf game which people have been playing with kbm since the invention of the genre points towards it not being a conscious decision at all and more a case of not caring to put in more time. Same for the turned on 30fps lock. And oh my fucking god fuck everyone who does this, they let the game decide on language based on Windows and the German translation is crap too. http://steamcommunity.com/app/405500/discussions/0/357287935547413690/

I still dont get why D3 thought the price for Oneechanbara was good. I mean the series is a low budget series and started of in their Simple2000 series (2000Yen games) IIRC. The games itself also werent really long.
I'm opposed to segregation, and I believe 2d and 3d people can live together in peace.
Agree with this,
Not so much with this. Even if it's not the ideal control method it's just flat out a bad idea not to have kb and mouse support at all. I mean by that logic there shouldn't be FPS games on console either.
$28 US seems like an okay price for what it is.
Puh, I just don't get it, how can I be so bad at Pillars of Eternity, I'm overleveled and playing on easy but STILL get wiped out by just regular encounters. Maybe having a long pause before playing the expansions wasn't a good idea. Funny also, I had easier against a boss and it's henchmen than the guards outside the said boss.XD

I dont know. In the times where IF releases new games for 15$ during release, XSeed releasing games for 30$ and even Square Enix releasing 25$ JRPGs a main price of 40$ seems far too high imo.
Can be wishlisted now.
I like Steamworld Dig a lot but unfortunately this isn't even the same genre as that game.
the base price is weird, yeah, but since it got a 30% discount i think it's alright
anybody picked Anima yet?

I remember having high hopes for this game, lack of reivews probably means nobody bought it

Pan-Pan popped up in my queue. Visual style reminds me of Monument Valley, nice.
Excellent, but fourth quarter.

Point taken. Based on that, it does sound more like something they didn't want to be bothered with, rather than something they would've liked to do but couldn't find a way to implement properly.
That's probably a bad example. FPS games aren't fundamentally unplayable with a gamepad. Sure, a mouse is preferable, but playing with a gamepad doesn't transform a game into a joyless, frustrating experience.
I'm not sure why it would be a good idea to squeeze m/kb controls into games where the developer knows they work poorly. All that seems to lead to are people bitching in Steam reviews about how game X "sucks" because "the controls are bad", citing the m/kb scheme, while the people with gamepads are saying the opposite.
I wonder if that's based on the Anima tabletop RPG. Never really got to read much of the rules, but the one book I saw had gorgeous interior art.
EDIT: Apparently so, according to the product description. Huh, how about that.
I hope Stasis has a good discount or price error in the summer sale
it's not a golf game tho
that is another reason for the bad reviews

A spanish videogame magazine gave it a 9. Maybe it's biased, but I trust it.

I don't subscribe to this line of thinking. Most big multiplatform games are designed with consoles in mind (because money) and by extension are designed for controllers. So should developers just not bother with M+KB controls?
I'll freely admit that there are some games which work better with controllers (Souls, Assassin's Creed, racing games and more) but I have yet to see any genre where a competent M+KB control scheme is impossible to achieve. And so there is no excuse for not implementing it properly when you make a PC version. This falls in the same category as having proper resolution/aspect ratio support for PC games. It's a bare minimum that we should expect from developers.
The only time this might not be a necessity is those rare cases like Brothers A Tale of Two Sons which was entirely built around having access to both analog sticks.
Can you give a few examples of games which were just not playable with a M+KB? And preferably examples where it was because the game's design demanded it and not because of poor implementation of M+KB controls.

Is there a tactic in bringing games to PC later?
Some of the replies in there make me raise an eyebrow.

oh! that's good news indeed, thank you
looking good! to the wishlist it goes
It's possible to find people who can play anything with a mouse and keyboard (or a dance pad, or a light gun), even titles that most people agree are extremely awkward and not fun to play that way. So if I point to something like a fighting game, or anything relying heavily on dual analog controls, I'm sure you can point to people out there who have learned to play them with m/kb as your counterargument. So I feel like you're inviting me to stick my hand in a bear trap here, heh, and any concrete examples I give you will end up being pointless.

Been wondering on some of the EA games I've heard before. Like what happened to Rivals of Ether and Them's Fighting Herds?
I think so, I've seen this glitch before, don't remember which game it was, unfortunately

I've already acknowledged that some control schemes are better than others but if a competent control scheme can be achieved with M+KB then I see no reason to want developers to completely drop M+KB support. It is the primary control method of the entire platform and you want devs to just give up on it because some might find other controls better? Since you bring up fighting games... many people will agree that fight sticks are better than analog controllers for that genre. Should devs give up controller support for those games because another arguably better control scheme exists? Or racing games with wheel support instead of controller support?
EDIT - heck how about this... FPS actually controls way better with M+KB than controllers. Goodbye to all controller support for shooters on PC?

On a completely different note, while I know this is probably old news for half the folks here, the Honest Overwatch Trailer got a couple of chuckles from me.

Some previously unbundled ones in the high tier.
100% safe. Unfortunately for me I noticed that locking all achievements of a game does not raise the avg cheevo percentage back up, the game still gets counted with one achievement.
