It's nice to see other bundle sites noticing that and putting out some quality bundles. Eat Humble's lunch, though with how poor IGN's management of everything seems to be with HB lately, I wouldn't be surprised if they rebrand in the future..

Can we talk about GOG games here, or will I be banned for even mentioning the place like in the other place?

can't see why we couldn't .... pretending something doesn't exist won't make the problem magically disappear ...

We should be able to talk about it, but I don't believe in creating an OT or a community here for them or their products, or even advertising them by posting trailers etc; They don't deserve the press. I do think the situation and what's happen should definitely be talked about, otherwise, people wouldn't know why it's frowned upon. I can only speak personally, that I will probably side-eye people who are well versed in what's happening, but still continue to support them.

I don't understand the gog deal. Why stop using a service because of one bad tweet, which itself I see nothing wrong, I think
I'm not someone with a lot of money, I'm not someone with a huge following on any form of social media-- It's my small way of a combined effort to get a big corporation to realize what they're doing is bad. If they're going to be like that, then I'm not going to support their platforms or their products. If a lot of people do it, they have to take notice and do something about it. Whereas any good company worth their salt would simply cut ties or do something of note to make amends and show that they're not the way they're being perceived. The lives and feelings of trans people are more important than any game, any company, any person.

I agree with that, bit if anybody wants to make a GOG OT or post the newest 2077 Trailer thats fine too... one can talk about problems but people also should be able to just talk about GOG, CDP and games

Yeah let people talk about both the game and the issues, as long as people are informed about the issues they can make up their own mind. Assuming the games themselves aren't promoting problematic materials. You're already promoting the game in some form anyway even if you're only having discussion about the tweets, people already made up their mind and their purchase decision won't change. It's a gaming forum so most of everyone already know of the game.

I don't really use GoG much so I'm probably just going to wait for the old games to come to Steam instead of purchasing from there. I only bought games there because they offered greater discounts most of the time.

basically - if you don't talk about something, you have no chance of changing minds of people who are undecided, whose minds could be changed on this or that matter .... calm explanations are always better than just blind rage ... in any situation

Yeah, it's like their 4th stupid tweet, and the Twitter profile of the guy who handles the account is not very nice either (or his old website, which was full GamerGate). It's sad because I like the games they make and liked the idea behind GOG (not their new approach at making games exclusive though).

Yeah, they're not a small company by any means, and yet when hiring for this position, there's no way someone didn't see all their previous work. I had over 100 hours on Witcher 3 and upwards to 200 if you include the first 2. I've given them benefit of the doubt in the past, because I do believe in accidents, or people not understanding a reference -- but it's honestly happened too many times for it to be a coincidence. I mean, a recent example, is DQXI. It was probably my most anticipated game, and I waited for Square to answer for Sugiyama before I made my choice, and I still haven't played the game, and probably ever wont.

There are OBVIOUS red flags, and there are situations that require maybe some waiting before I do something like deleting my GoG account and removing all CDPR games from my steam account. Which I did. I also understand Square's stance and how shit it was in that particular situation. But given how large of a company they are, I just wont support any team that works with Sugiyama, but I'll still support other teams within the company.

I just can't continue supporting CDPR in any form in good faith after this and their half-assed response to all this.

Well, I now own another Zachtronics game despite not even finishing the tutorial to Spacechem (not to mention any of his later titles).
One just has to support Valve making games though.

Seeing Death's Gambit as a daily is just reminding me how excited people were for that game. I think it's been around close to when Eitr was shown off as well? Even if the game ends up being bad or poorly received, it still sucks to see an indie dev team work and put so much time into a game only to see it come short like that.

Weird of them to include Origins and Knight but none of the others. A side game and the last in the franchise. Bundle is pretty weak though.

Is Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time any good?
Indiegala has a decent deal on the game (55% off, $17,99).

Speaking of refund, I wonder if I should refund Resonance of Fate for now. I really won't have the time to play it anytime soon as I'm still busy with AC Odyssey and Red Dead 2 is just around the corner. I think I still can pick it up again at the end of the year. I only have one week left to submit my request.

btw lashman for the next thread, just make it PC Gaming and not just Steam.
Also you don't need to use the same subtitle as the one on Era, just use one that's voted by the gang here or one that is related to the month or a game releasing on that month.
why? not that i'm opposed ... just curious :p

I mean, it's the defacto PC thread anyway, so why not name it so... But I'm fine with either...

And using the same title shows that we are uncreative copycats ;)

Interesting what we will name ourselves here. It feels natural to have something about steam since the history of us being called just that but as people point out it's always been about PCs.
yeah, i just thought we'd do a steam thread since people were really not happy about going from steam to general PC

As a next months OT title, "The dirty dozen". :D
is that because:



? :p

Holy shit Tormentum 2?! First game was interesting, and I'd be down for a sequel, although the first game's 'karma' system is pretty basic.

yeah ... it's a pretty weird game to make a sequel to :p but here we are, haha .... it's good, though, the first one was pretty cool, for sure ... so i'm definitely looking forward to a sequel! :)

If the price is right, I'll pick up HELLGATE: London.
I never played much of the game, because I experienced issues with my old PC at the time, but I had some fun with what I played.

yeah, i wonder how much they'll be charging for that thing ... it's clearly a remaster AT BEST ... probably not even that since they only want DirectX9 and potato GPUs

If anyone in here owns Groove Coaster, 4 new DLCs were released with tracks from the Darius series, one of them being the awesome original version of VISIONNERZ, the other 3 are arranges/remixes of Captain NEO, say Papa, and COSMIC AIR WAY.

There's a pack with all 4 tracks that's currently with a 60% discount, making it cost less than 2 individual tracks:

With the fact that World of Final Fnatasy wont be getting a physical Switch release, I'm really tempted to grab it on Steam while it's still on sale. Then the DLC when it comes out on the 6th
