Seeing that link on that twitter post and how much that person is pulling in a week has me reevaluating what the fuck I'm doing here at work.

Kuvshinov Ilya has a pretty appealing style, so I'm not too surprised about the numbers. I'll have to support one of these days.

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.

I fell right into the trap. I'm not really defending it though. I totally understand why people wouldn't want to bother with stuff like that but I like Lego so it doesn't bother me too much. Season passes can still get rekt though.

I hear you - I've been strongly considering getting Dimensions myself - my problem is that I can't justify the price at all. Sure I get Lego Minifigs and that's neat. But I can't pay $100 for a game, then drop another almost $100 on the few level packs I'm super-interested in (Portal, BttF, Doctor Who). If all of that were included (even without the physical toys) for $60 I'd have already bought it.

My Lego Dimensions plan is to pick up the level packs on launch day that may be in short supply, like Portal and Doctor Who, and buy the base game sometime in the future when it is heavily discounted, probably around Xmas.

Save cash and get to play maturely display the Lego now.

Am I the only one who constantly mixes up Arthea and Aeana? Probably. Was Arthea a mod at some point?

Was the flying bundle posted? I can't believe I own Slave Trade Simulator 2015 now.

Zestiria is at 64% of the final preorder bonus with two weeks to go. It's also in the top 20 sellers. I think that should work out fine.

Let's see.

5 reviewers working 40 hours a week = 200 person-hours, including writing. Average indie game takes 3 hours, conservatively. Maybe more because one in every ten are Kerbal or Prison Architect or whatever where you've gotta play 50 hours to get anywhere. I'm seeing somewhere around 55 indie games released in the last week on Steam. So it'd take 165 person-hours to play the games to completion on average, more if you think my assumption was conservative. Leaving 5 full-time employees a total of 35 hours between them to write 55 reviews. That's about 35 minutes to write and edit a review.

... which in turn will be read by no one because who the hell is going out of their way to read an IGN review for Korwin the Game? (some sort of bizarre anti-leftist politically charged platformer made by a Polish guy).

Better to simply say you have a rule against accepting indie game codes rather than have to talk to a dev who emails you flames because you think his or her game doesn't make the cut (an actual problem)

Granted Iron Brigade was very good, unfortunately it got dragged down harder by GFWL and piss-poor online play than any other game.

This reminds me, how's the Steamworks version now? I remember they had some issues right after the migration but I also think that they patched it few times after that, but I didn't follow it.

More games should do it if anything. As I already said, they often come with much better bonuses than the usual shitty regular preorder ones.

So, the game Towerclimb is awesome fun. Basically a bit like spelunky, but spending your time climbing through the procedurally generated levels to get as high as possible. It's remarkably tense as you keep going and he addicitve

Like I said earlier, easiest way to explain that to any of you 'other side of ocean' guys would be Trump the Game or Santorum the Game.

For some reason I thought you had like 2000+ games.
Or maybe they are just all on Uplay, and are just duplicate copies of all AC games.


Even I have 1300+ games now. Damn bundles.
Also 2402 achievements, 28 perfect games and 51% completion ratio.

That is a killer bundle! So many good games and I discovered Quarries of Scred a game I never heard before but I totally should have because it looks awesomely nostalgic and something I wanna play.

That Bundle Stars bundle actually looks kind of disappointing to me, compared to some of their other Killer Bundles. The only game that immediately looks interesting to me is Malebolgia.

Spirited

Mine is pretty and pink
hmm, I bought the bundle got an email with my receipt but no keys and no email for my password(new account).

Let's see how long this will take.
