I tried the Immortal Fenyx Rising demo on Stadia... a true Zelda experience alright. Blurry as hell, I think it was running at 720p or around that and awful input lag. The game itself doesn't look bad though, nothing particularly original or groundbreaking but it might be a nice comfy game to play during the holidays or summer.
So google just told me CrossfireX is still not out. Not that I care that much but I’ve recently seen several generic shooters that made me remember this was a thing (the multiplayer shooter with a solo by Remedy).
Ok
Ok
It seems to be made by another developer than Surviving Mars? That's a disappointment...
Ahahaha,
this game
which is currently Epic exclusive, is 90% off on Switch eShop.
So I picked it up on Switch, will grab it on Steam next year.

From the steam reviews the first one seems better but I'm no expert and I haven't played them
About The outer worlds: on cdkeys there's the Steam version for 22€ but not available atm The Outer Worlds PC (Steam)

That's because you never view my highlight threads :V
EDIT:
Make sure to get Link Evolution, as it is the one that has all content from the first game along with some extras.
EDIT2:
Link Evolution released this year, so it being 50% off now is normal, might go cheaper over next months too.

Has there been any word about the DLC being available as well?
Strangely, I keep seeing "hints" from stores about adding the Steam version of the game (like the one you posted from CDKeys), but I'm yet to see any about the DLC or Season Pass.
Don't tell me they will be stupid enough to make the DLC exclusive for 12 months...
EDIT: GMG has added a listing for the Steam version of the DLC, with a release date of today, so I guess it will launch with the game.

I'm a little shocked that the demand for strategy game is so high, yet unfulfilled. At the same time, "strategy" means a lot. To some it'll be Sacrifice, to others Homeworld, Starcraft or even Banished.
That doesn't mean he was perfect, his take on paid mods was a bit lackluster to me, and he really had huge mental health issues. I just really wish he'd have lived to mend and heal them. As it is, he's already raised the bar apparently too high.
I also have to second the praise of Dictator here. He knows his graphics like few others do, and I struggle to think of anyone who isn't already a graphics programmer or a niche tech writer that can provide the depth and rigors of analysis that he does, while also being able to provide an opinion and passing judgment for the consumer. He's a blessing in a journalistic field that is rather unfortunately largely ignorant of the technical sides of games and rendering.
All of this and more. One of the things that really struck me about him was his obsession with integrity. He kept his distances to a healthy professional level with everyone he had the job of assessing the work of. He attempted to see other perspectives, and most of all, tried to be intellectually honest. All of this, while still being able to squee like a little girl at how good a bolter felt.

Is it the conclusion though? I skimmed through the tweets earlier today, and it is mostly a matter of supply/demand curve, no?
Revenue is concentrated on fewer games for strategy/4X than for indie platformers, because there is less competition.
Started playing Gris last night. Now that's a fine piece of art! 
Sweet baby jesus.
This guy has created a PR shitstorm for Stadia.

A part of me is vainly hoping that Stadia dying will mean that fully-fledged VM will have a bit more of a shot of becoming the standard than before.
Hutchinson was on GB couch last E3, I guess he won't be invited back. 
And considering Navarro usually does the guest invitations and he was the one who made that "speaking of things people don't want to pay for, how's Stadia going " comment to which that one tweet was a reply to, maybe there was something there already.
Also while we are at it, here's some Hutchinson shit from the past.

As an icing on the cake, his previous games is EGSclusive.

Ubisoft In Trouble Over Comments About Female Characters
Shortly after Ubisoft upset many Assassin's Creed fans by saying that it had abandoned its plan to have female characters in its new game's co-op multiplayer mode, the company returned with another controversial explanation about the absence of women in its games—this one focused on Far Cry 4.

Pubs need streamers. I don't even know how they would market games nowadays without Youtube and Twitch. That is where all the kids and young adults are.
You'd have to rely on boomers who watch cable television to see your crappy 20 second game ad. Basically the way the industry was back in 2005 but it was only worth like 10 billion back then compared to 150 billion now. So yea good luck to pubs who try to fuck with the biggest marketing tool today. AAA gaming would be in trouble if they tried the DMCA bs too. Indie gaming would become huge tho because all the streamers will jump on indies, f2p and self published games. Its really a lose lose for big pubs if they go down that path.

Yeah Hutchinson is a bit of a nutter. Moans about losing money to steam, moans about losing money to streamers... Maybe the problem is you?
Moans about everything being unfair and set up against him... while being his own biggest enemy.
I wonder where I've recently seen that.
No idea.
It's working@
Testing
Streaming and its route to increased sales for ANY game making company exists and is slightly neutral in that streamers mostly stream what they want. Make something good or stream friendly and let it loose on the world.
If a company tried to fuck with that because of corporate greed by charging streamers in a some way then surely all the other companies would do the opposite and not charge so that streamers would only stream their companies games. Streamer accounts would be the next logical step. Then game streams using the company account could have ads in them that are not in the original game. Cluster-fuck time.
With the Steam release of Outer Worlds in 50 min hopefulle there will be mods. Nexus only has 7 pages of mods.
That's another EGS exclusive con, lack of mods.
That's another EGS exclusive con, lack of mods.
I believe I read somewhere on twitter another "brilliant idea" like Hutchinson's which was QA testers should pay to test content instead of getting paid.
I'm not surprised after Hutchinson's words because I had read about the QA paid testing before, still I felt pity for him. He looked like he had a lot of resentment inside him.
I don't know what will be the next logical thought after both opinions but nothing good can come from all this nonsense.

Lets take a look at some story rich games this time in "Discoveries in Discovery Queue"!
The Imagined Leviathan
Free short story game about a post apocalyptic Britain with a poetic feeling
Robotics; Notes Elite
A VN regarding robotics in high school with some detective cases!
Re:Turn - One Way Trip
Side-scrolling puzzle horror game. Tons of nice atmosphere, music and story.
Scarlet Hollow
Hand-drawn horror adventure game, with many different branches. The first chapter (which is the current one) is free. The kickstarter is still ongoing for the rest (and has been fully backed).

Indiegala is the first store to have The Outer Worlds (Steam key) on sale.
They are listing it at... $59,99. While the EGS version is on their store at 60% off.
I'm still expecting the game to launch with a 50% off sale, like Ancestors, but if they are launching it at full price, with no discount, good luck with that.

You don't need to go very far to see publishers hunting down streamers.
Sega did this years ago, before making a u-turn and supporting their fans (including recruiting a bunch of them to make games), and despite not being a major actor anymore, nor Sonic more than a footnote in videogames at this point, they have a gigantic fanbase making free publicity and tons and tons of fan games like the Sonic Amateur Games Expo which is not only important; but also a significant pool of talent to draw from (with many having already made commercial games).
Nintendo obliterates anyone daring to play their games, at best they snatch all the profits (remember their initiative to fuck you over but with the right to maybe get some scraps after months of stealing your work?), more likely they'll scrub the entire internet from fangames (because they have their shit competition to sell like Mario Maker which does not hold a candle to what was possible before - but this time it's official, oh and pay up every month to share your levels after your $60 purchase on Switch).
They are a giant publisher, with less fan clout than mobile apps and free browser games, Roblox makes more views than the entirety of the Nintendo catalog. Wouldn't even be surprised to see Genshin Impact dwarfing the whole of Nintendo on sharing platforms very soon, but at least they won't have the bad streamers make fun of their 30 years old roms not sold anywhere.

It's not a terrible game, it just lacks content and time to breathe. So actually, a few large expansion packs might help a lot with that.
I don't really see what modding can do there, honestly. I guess you could have more custom planets and stuff, and additional quests but that seems a bit on the high end for what you might expect from user generated content.
If a company learned or thought it could begin taking a cut from streamers as a royalty payment, what about the gaming industry in 2020 makes you think others wouldn't follow suit? Companies will try whatever means to make more money, and charging streamers is literally no work on their part, it's a no brainer.
Not every streamer would revolt against it, and I highly doubt a good chunk of the audience for streamers would care one way or another. So long as it wasn't a total collapse, the streamer-publisher model would adapt.
All that being said, the Stadia guy is clearly talking out of his ass on this

If anyone sees a good deal on The Outer Worlds, do post about it.
So far, I'm tempted to go for the Non-Mandatory Corporate-Sponsored Bundle on GMG (which is 42% off, and includes the game + season pass + soundtrack), but it's a bit more than I wanted to pay for a year old game.
Hopefully someone will have it for slightly less.

I might've been pleasantly surprised if it came from a no-name team with zero expectations but knowing it's Boyarsky/Cain and Obsidian I was expecting something with a lot more soul. One of the bigger disappointments in recent memory.
I know some people were expecting it to be a Fallout-sized game which they were warned it was never suppose to be.
Edit:
Out.

My completionist side wouldn’t say no to playing the dlc, The Outer Worlds was the epitome of mediocre, but it was certainly tolerable.
But 12 month after release is a lot of time, I fear I would feel disconnected from the game. And as always, it’s a side content inserted before the final, not after or separate, so the disconnection will be even greater. Do I even have saves before the final ? Does MS even have kept my saves ?
And that would mean buying the dlc on GP, for a game I don’t own. That’s a lot of hoops for a middle length dlc.
Do we know if GP saves are transferable to Steam ?

Allow me to LMAO at that guy. Imagine someone who notionally works for Google saying people should pay others for using their content. LMAOOOOOOOO. Is Google going to start paying people for all those videos, text, and music that they hoover up and host on their servers? I mean its basically the same thing as streaming a game you don't own... Oh what is that? Google expects you to PAY THEM for that, so they can give your work exposure? Yeah ok, no hypocrisy here at all LMAO.

Doesn't have a price for me? I'm in NA. If it's 50% then it looks to be on sale on Indiegala as well.

If anyone wants the whole thing (game + season pass + soundtrack), Green Man Gaming's flash deal (48,88€) that ends in 5 minutes (EDIT: or not; it now shows 72 hours left) is easily the better price at the moment.
