Keen Dreams is a busted port. Full of compatibility issues. Doesn't work on Windows 8. Locks up whenever I exit a menu or go into a level.
What the fuck. I should have expected it, but still.

Let's not abuse the refund feature.
Thats not how the system is so supposed to be used.
Great! More time for part 3 to be bundled so I can buy it
Has any word come if the old games will be removed once Final Cut is released?
Edit: Not sure if this answered my question, but it seems that all games will still be available after Final Cut is released

Are we talking about Commander Keen here? You know like a 25 year old game? Did it recently get rereleased or are you expecting an old DOS game to be compatible with modern OSes without having to get your hands dirty?
Edit: Ohhhh are you talking about this? http://store.steampowered.com/app/356200/ Isn't that what was released on phones last year?
It has not a single bad review, are you sure it's not a problem on your side?
Although it has only 8 reviews but all with significant playtime

Mainline of course.

The forums have many complaints. If/when I get around to doing a review and the issues aren't fixed, I'll probably write a negative one. I thought this was supposed to have been an upgraded/compatible port - that's what the purpose of the release was in the first place.
I put in quite a few hours with the original release back in the day, so I know it's a compatibility thing first and foremost.

Maybe he should write his articles in Japanese in the future
but JP from Platinum said the article was being translated and he's going to get everyone to read it

We're in the same boat. I'm waiting for the third one to get cheap enough so I can pick it up and get the complete version for free. The wording in that blog post is a little vague though. They might just bundle up all 3 games and call it the trilogy and sell only that once the complete edition is out. So effectively you'd be buying all 3 games and then getting the upgraded version along with it.
This company have a good track record of doing right by their customers?

I've decided a better ending would have been a Highlander type showdown.
There can be only one.
I just repeatedly called in air support. Fuck that mission.
edit : ok you already beat it . good.

It would suck that if you only have 2 of 3 games and the third game is not available to buy. I am not even sure if the third game will ever be bundled, hopefully it will get discounted soon before Final Cut is out

The other Van Helsing games have been part of the Halloween sale in the past, so hopefully the third one will get a decent discount this year.

Must be due to the sheer amount I guess? I know I would personally not want a code for something I wasn't going to review.
To be honest, it's not that this idea didn't cross my mind but if you refund a game after a beta your intentions should be fairly obvious. But I guess so far Valve really hasn't done anything to prevent abuse and in theory you could just say that "its available cheaper" ... which should actually always apply with the exception of games that aren't sold by other resellers.

Is that just because they don't want to bother reviewing smaller games? Pretty disgusting if that's the case.

Might be that sites aren't doing as many reviews anymore.
Thats what I'm thinking.
But its a matter of economics. Reviews don't drive traffic anymore unless its a big title.

Why would you do indie reviews when you can just crap out another two Destiny articles instead?
Jawmuncher

Easier to write those two articles then play through a whole game.

They probably don't turn down any with a publishing deal from a bigger name. So MS, Devolver, and the like probably aren't counted.

The tweets says "reasonably established"
I don't think we're talking about Greenlight fodder here

Totally but those smaller games still deserve a fair shake. Reviews in general don't drive traffic anymore.
IDK, reasonably established doesn't say much, and many good games come out of greenlight too, and devs become reasonably established after if they haven't been before.

That's what I think too. It feels like dozens of indie games get churned out by the week. Taking a review code brings with it the implication that the game will be reviewed on the site, and sites just don't have enough people to do it. A friend of mine who does reviews went a little crazy in the last week trying to finish up a massive JRPG and then another PS4 game whose reviews were due on the same day.
It's a little interesting that he qualifies 'reasonably established indies' in his tweet. I suppose his expectation is that they should get preferred treatment by the media?

66% is the new 75%. Seriously, Ubi often discounts the previous edition to $20.
Freedom = $1.05

If it happens its because Primal is coming out soon after. I'm with you in hoping it'll finally get cheap

They recently reduced the base price. 75% on top of that? Unlikely.

The base price on steam is still $50. $80 if you want all the dlc.
The Disc version for consoles was dropped from $60 to $40 but not for the digital versions. I don't think there is a disc version for the pc.
It was $60, so it got small drop. (60->40 in Europe)
There is, at least in EU.

There's way too many established developers for most sites to handle the amount of games these developers manage to finish and release. It's not an attack against indies, it's the reality of the situation. Obviously a popular gaming website has to review AAA first and then give as much room for the smaller games but at some point there just isn't enough time to handle it all.
Well, that's my take on it anyway. I really doubt it's anything but an issue of lack of time and too many releases.

Good games are good games, bad games are bad games. As long as indies are still making good games then they will find an audience. This indiepocalypse stuff is pretty insane tbh.
Baron_Calamity

Major bummer for 2 reasons.
1. The Double Fines' talent exodus continues. Yeah they have been hiring a bunch of people after landing some contract but it won't be the same.
2. Brad will never make another game.
I don't see how you can say that, when we've seen many good indies close to nothing, because we have steamspy now. We could pretend a good game will always sell, before, but not anymore.
edited: we have seen opposite too, how horrible games sell a lot, so in general it's not so logical world as one would expect it to be.
not PC gaming anymore? just gaming?
I agree

It's strange that G2A is not banned because of the gray market area, but for account selling and boosting

Making a "good game" just isn't enough and doesn't have to be. There are thousands of "good games" and not enough of an audience for all of them to be successful. The objective "quality" of a game is just one of many many factors.
Here's some words and graphs and numbers from the Steam Spy himself

I don't even know what people think the "indiepocalypse" is supposed to be
