Pax Nova is just out in Early Access and it sure looks interesting, I'll wait for a few user reviews before picking it up though.
Doubtful, GFWL was a separate service just for games and despite all the problems we had with the Win Store it was even messier when still 'alive', making it easier to abandon. UWP is a different, bigger beast, MS won't completely kill it and the games hook into their Xbox service for their online stuff.

just barely ... and not for any of the games that used it for multiplayer (i believe)
Fuck you Acti for making me wait a year for this on PC =_=
Close to biting the bullet on Descenders. Been waiting for something like Downhill Domination for quite a while. Anyone already checked it out?
They're doing it! They're actually giving up on the dumb bullshit they keep trying to thrust on people! They're finally realizing they need to listen to what people want if they want to get anywhere.
I like this new Microsoft, they're doing a lot of things right (which can be summed up as adjusting to what people asked for instead of trying to force half-baked stuff on them).

Yeah this is going to be great. The quality of their books is incredible, and I'm super into Metal Slug. September!Went on a backlog killing spree and managed to raise my completion average from 50% to 51%. Major victory. Will continue to whittle away at those pesky games where for some reason or another I only got one or two achievements, while throwing in a short one here and there like GNOG (awesome, can also recommend Vignettes) right now.

So far all their books I own have been excellent (with Art of Point-and-Click Adventures and NEOGEO: A Visual History being my favorites) so that's an easy preorder.
I bought and asked for a refund for GTA IV a few months ago because I just couldn't make it past the GFWL log-in screen. Tried every sort of alleged solution I found online to no avail. So I wouldn't say it's still working.
I also get super annoyed when the pirated version of a game is better in every aspect compared to its legitimately purchased counterpart (no GFWL and a whole radio channel of songs Rockstar was apparently too cheap to renew the license for and patched out at some point).

Somewhat, the store is broken and many games can't be played anymore or only after an unreasonable amount of fiddling around.

Spring Sale baby
Buy Assassin's Creed® Origins - Season Pass from the Humble Store
Unless this is a price error, this'd be the cheapest that Origins' Season Pass has been this far.

messages like this make me want to never play the game, good job bethesdaMeanwhile in Bethesda's psychology department
Same here.
There's something wrong the coupon, it says 20% but it's actually 10%?
There are so many Microsoft back catalogue titles I'd love to see release digitally that begin well before the GFW garbage or aren't Rare titles - Freelancer, Solitaire, Black and White (though I think EA would need some say in this), Midtown/Monster Truck/Motocross Madness, Fury3, Crimson Skiesi fucking wish
Basically anything listed here that isn't a sports title
At least they're moving away from UMP as a requirement.
Looking forward to trying that new updated Blood re-release, see if it makes the experience better. I guess he lives...again... again!

yeah, exactly ... i'd kill for ALL of that stuff on steam ... even if they just released them "as is" and i'd have to search for user-made patches to get them to run on win10 ... i'd still buy all of them
OP
I think I posted about it a while ago, but I am personally just exhausted with timed events, exploitative "gotta keep up" quests, all that stuff. I had my fill in Destiny 2, Monster Hunter, Division, and a bunch of others. It feels bad. Like you're being manipulated. What happens with me is that playing a game becomes mechanical, a chore, and I stop enjoying it. But not until I spent way too much time trying to keep up like it's a second job, because I have a bit of a completionist problem. Better just to avoid it altogether, so I don't get dragged in again.dang
Meanwhile in Bethesda's psychology department
Are you talking about insulting neonazi? I think this is a little differentWorked for wolfenstein.
Well that too, but no. I mean how they called people who played on Easy mode babies. People ate that shit up.
Game comes out in 2 weeks and still no info on wether or not the english localization is still happening
That sheep game looks lovely. Something about the art style reminds me of both Pix the Cat:
and Hell Yeah!

No doubt MCC on Steam is Spencer's way to gain the trust of pc gamers. But he said on Twitter that his vision is to release games where people want to play them. So there's hope that we'll see more of Microsofts games on Steam.
Unless Epic ruins this as well by making deals with Microsoft
Yeah it seems so. Microsoft is a complete different company than they were a few years ago. I like many of their recent decisions and ideas. For example, integrating Internet Explorer into Edge is great news for me at work, because some of our software was written in Silverlight.
I still don't trust them to embrace the open nature of pc gaming, but I'm keeping an open mind.

ohh, i see ... yeah, it's pretty much the same for me ... not that i avoid games with those ... but i just completely miss all of that timed stuff, because i just play games whenever i feel like it (usually years after release too, lol)
yeah, i really hope that's the case ... like i said - i would even buy all those winstore games again if they were on steam, i don't even care (just like i did with Killer Instinct and ReCore)
you know they're definitely tryingUnless Epic ruins this as well by making deals with Microsoft

I've done my part
Still have $14 in Humble moneys from like a year ago but there is never I anything I NEED to buy from Humble as it is usually cheaper elsewhere if there is a steam key.
Commodifying the idea of social acceptance sadly works. Bethesda marketing goes for the really baser instincts instead of something more positive in approach
I just purchased Timespinner for the exact same reason, I can't really think of anything releasing in the next few months that I can expect to be cheaper on Humble or only available on Humble (other than Steam).
Apparently they intended to give a 10% coupon.
Which goes back all the way to Wolf 3D and is imo just lighthearted fun, I honestly can only shake my head that people got annoyed by that of all things. The series doesn't take itself seriously at all (well mostly and when it did it usually was to its detriment), takes potshots at everything and everyone and is overall completely over the top and ridiculous.
Now that piece about Rage 2 online is more iffy I'll admit, not a good look for a single player game. And it opens them up to ridicule if the servers have issues on launch day.
