For you.
I know this is a small change but it's pretty cool that now Mixed reviews are colored light orange instead of the dark orange(which was the same color as the negative ones)

That's actually really important change. That red tag really hits you hard when you open a new store page even if the game might have way more than 50% positive reviews.

Thanks for the info, guess I'll go grab it soon. What I saw of it reminded me of Age of Empires and that quickly sealed the deal for me :p

Wow I've been super lucky with foils lately, all in all if I get the last one sold I will have made 16 euros just from foils the last month.

I got 2 last night in one run with the glitch.

I seem to be the only person that has ever owned a specific foil from a game that was removed. Why will no one give me $30 for it? I think it's a fair price.

Mostly nothing we didn't already know... Until we get to this bit:

Slitherine provided GI.biz with data on the impact the initial changes had on every one of its games available through Steam. For games that were first launched on the company's own websites, the fluctuation in the number of valid reviews is striking. Wars of Napoleon lost more than 43% of its reviews, Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa lost 48.4%, and Last Days of Old Earth lost a massive 64.3%. Out of 45 Slitherine games on Steam, 18 saw a reduction in the number of reviews contributing to that overall score, and all but 4 of those lost 15% or more.

Worth reading the entire article, if only to get more info on what Slitherine has gone through.

Yeah that does sound fair, that card has to be pretty rare since the chance of there being more is low. How is it, can one still make booster packs for games that were removed?
 
I get the most boring foils, I think the best one I got was a Binding of Isaac one which of course is one of the few I actually want to keep for myself so if even it was worth something I kept it. >_>

For you.
Did anybody notice the idlemaster glitch working differently now? Now I get a card for the previous game after I skip to the next one.

I think Valve must have changed something recently, because I keep getting a card drop upon closing a game (that I've been playing, not through idlemaster). Interestingly this happens even when I play the game for like a total of 20-30mins.

When I did it a week ago(or two?) it'd keep giving me cards up to 30 seconds after I stopped with it, so it seems like there's a delay
 
They seem to have removed the 2 hour limit as well, some what. When using idlemaster it still applies but when playing a new game they drop inside 2 hours. Played 90 mins of Death in Bermuda and got the cards.

In my case there was no delay. I could be waiting 20 seconds or 5 minutes, but the cards always spawned immediately after skipping the game.

Cards drop after you quit a game, there is a delay on when the cards drop. You don't get card drop on the currently idling game

Was Quantum Break considered a first party game? I'm not sure MS would let GoW and Forza be on Steam.

Yes, although some would say it's "second-party" as it wasn't developed by a studio that Microsoft owns. The end result is the same, though: Microsoft owns the game itself as well as the IP in general as it funded development.
 
Whenever it hits Steam.

Same. I know Microsoft wants this as a Windows 10 Store exclusive and it'll probably stay that way. Still, I do hope they realize the same thing that I do in that Forza Horizon 3 would sell gangbusters on Steam. I don't think it'll disappear from the Top 10 for a long time.

Are you saying Microsoft did greenlight the Steam release?

Forza 6 Apex runs at perfect 60fps on 4K for me so that is good... Windows Store though.... I wish they would switch to Steam a few weeks after launch.

Can somebody make a thread about that?
Please somebody make a thread about that.

That would be so delicious.
