Why do they even fight?
Everywhere except Steam.

High-risk Kickstarter. No point in getting too excited. They have a miniscule budget and they're promising the sky itself all in about two years of dev time.
Also the UI looks like a mobile game which I find unnerving. (Yes, I know it's pre-alpha screens.)
so far none of promised Harvest Moon / Rune Factory alikes were released, none at all. There is simply too much work for a small indie team on games like that, so I keep my hopes very low.
But what if one day we'll get a good one? That would be nice, wouldn't it?
as I said, too many gameplay mechanics, too complex and time-effort consuming games. Also nobody has this particular skill sets as it's not a genre that indie devs dive into in numbers.
Especially concerning Rune Factory, I asked some devs, if even they are willing to try all farming and social thingie, they want to leave combat and RPG part out of it, and so on.
edited: I'm more interested to see when (if) Wild Season will leave EA. So far it seems that won't happen in my lifetime.
Also Stardew Valley was promised this year too, but seeing what happened to Wild Season release, I wouldn't hold my breath.
edit2: Also there is Castaway Paradise... if you are really desperate.
Van Helsing Complete is worth a write up. Probably the biggest loot game ever in terms of content.

Of course not, more like the timer.. does 2 hour limit catch all in the pack?

I really want to write something for Sword Coast Legends, but my grammar is pretty shit I'll make the game sounds worse than it is instead. Someone please make one.
Oh, and don't forget about D:OS definitive edition as well.
Every single PC gamer I know consider G2A and friends to be totally legit sites.
Even though they tell me "I also buy the guarantee thing, because you never know", when I explain that sometimes keys are revoked and games removed from people's accounts, they still keep thinking they're legit.
For me it's kind of a lost cause, also because at some point I don't give enough shit about their Steam libraries.
Their way of thinking: "If it works, then it's legit"
Well, it actually does work, though. And it's featured on pretty much every gaming magazines and websites, so it just has to be legit!
What amazes me is that, if they buy the guarantee protection for a frigging digital key (which, if legit, just HAS to work, there are no other possibilities - bar very rare tech issues), deep in their minds they knows their walking in a gray area, yet they just cannot admit it, as long as they can shove their magical savings right in my face.

Nah, this year is too cramped for that. It is one of the most prettiest though.And it'll be among the top 5 Gaf goty list
I did the same last week after finishing MGS5 and trying to go back to Mad Max. I realized decent way to waste time just isn't good enough, I have much more enjoyable games in queue anyway.
It looked pretty good though.
Is it time to dewishlist Mad Max?

I took it that the game is bad since you like everything I don't like.

Why would you delist a +1?
Now that I think about it I'll wait for Mad Max to be sub $15.

Gameplay is bland, hand to hand combat has none of the satisfaction or responsiveness of Batman or Mordor, vehicular combat is ramming cars while shooting/pulling out armor plates/drivers. There are a lot of upgrade options, but since all of them cost a lot of scraps, you are pretty much forced to do ubisoft map-cleaning, otherwise you're gonna have a bad time progressing through story.

It's interesting how G2A has kind of bullied itself into relevance and some sort of legitimacy by their sponsorships. They give money to esports teams, twitch streamers and now giveaways like this on well established sites.
The G2A protection thing doesn't do shit by the way. A friend of mine bought Dying Light from a third party seller on the site and paid extra for the protection. The key turned out to be used so he contacted their support. I think they told him that they'd forward his complaint to the seller but then nothing happened after that. He sent more messages and they never replied. Finally he raised a complaint with Paypal and that's what got them to respond to him again. But they didn't actually try to solve his problem. They dragged it out for the full duration mandated by Paypal and then finally Paypal refunded the money.

Gross. It's crazy how people don't see through it.

They don't CARE to see through it, because cheap games.
Morning Steamyos (sounds like a cereal)! On holiday not dead but will be back to bore you all to tears next week. In the meantime noticed this earlier...

Might be UK only judging by the info I've seen from various outlets. No vouchers work sadly but did take what pitiful credit I had left. Yes I know this isn't Steam news but hey this really is the Super Secret WiiU Owners Clubhouse after all.

Turning a blind eye is a classic corruption move. Money talks.
I think it's quite shameful.
yeah, it's UK only, we talked about it.
edited: kindly don't ignore highest rated games on steam list, I wanna know your opinion
and I worked to make it!

This is kind of cool but if vouchers don't work I don't see much of a benefit since some of the prices are as outrageous as the eShop.
I started watching Narcos yesterday and it really reminded me about what Ecoban and Al Capone did.
