I'm gonna grab Wolf2 from this Bethesda sale. Have been wanting to check it since I finished TNO some months ago and I guess that it's not going below 50% anytime soon anyway.
Heads up it’s $12 here

Decent monthly, considering I got it for free after selling BO4 :drinking-blob:

Will probably get next one for 9$ too, those some nice early unlocks

Road to Guangdong getting clobbered in Steam reviews.

And I keep confusing Destroy All Humans with Detroit Become Human.

Well that's cool, only owned RF Guerrilla from the Monthly, nothing else.

Sadly, own both Hellblade and Moonlighter. Good thing I cancelled my sub 1-2 weeks ago.

As expected Bless Online will close servers on September:

Disappointing, but expected. Game had a seriously terrible Early Access release with the only class having the new combat being the Beserker, poor English translation and mismanagement.
The Japanese servers were also announced to shut down so I guess all that's left is Bless Unleashed.

I'm nearly back where I was after restarting Shining Resonance, with only half the time (and it wasn't that repetitive either, since I played as the new characters).
Still, the mode descriptions are kinda misleading. Ain't no one got time to play the exact same game twice with 2 new playable characters from the beginning, even if those characters being available at that point makes no sense from a story perspective.

I'm happy with my Reshade settings now. One thing I could still try is to disable SMAA and instead do 4k downsampling by setting my desktop res to it, but I might be too lazy to do that every time I want to play the game, so this is fine for now.

I hope I'll be able to find the time to try it out before the servers close.

Uh, what the hell? I was just randomly refunded Sekiro for no reason. Got the email and the money's in my wallet. o_O

I pre-ordered it directly from Steam before launch, definitely played WAY more than 2 hours and, more importantly, never requested a refund. So uh, wut? This ever happened to anyone?

That sounds really weird.
If I were you, I'd make sure that I have 2FA on, change my password, and then possibly contact support about having that refund cancelled.

2FA is on and everything else seems fine (I'm on my PC and playing a game right now). I honestly don't think that's it. I mean, even if someone had managed to hijack my account, that refund still should've been denied.

You wouldn't be the first person who got refund way past 2 hours, so I wouldn't count on that.
But with 2FA on your account should be safe, assuming that you haven't gotten yourself phished and assuming that Steam doesn't have any 0-day exploits.

It'd probably be worthwhile to contact support in any case.

I didn't expect this, I thought CG would be publishing it on their own, good for Xseed the franchise has a lot of potential

edit: given the TL quality of their stuff the game is in good hands, also there goes the last game of the E3 lineup
edit 2: unfortunately only ps4 for now it seems, but I guess we can hope
Wow I was right? Wonder if they’ll publish Relink too

Epic's sale must have given them a big boost at no cost to them. I'm sure they're pretty happy. Is Epic?
No doubt Epic will use this to convince more devs and publishers into dropping Steam. That's the game they are playing after all.

Anyway, it's sad to see Coffee Stains decision to support Epic's strategy pays off for them. But I'm still convinced other games than Satisfactory and WWZ aren't doing so well on EGS.

Well, changed my password just in case but yeah, I'm pretty sure my account's safe.

fantomena had the same issue happening with Pavlov VR. This might be a bug.
There's another one here with that refund issue:

Interesting. Looking at my account activity, I was wondering if it was maybe some kind of automated correction that was very slow for some reason? I bought the game during that sale where you'd get wallet credit for your purchases. I pre-ordered DMC5 then used my credit on the Sekiro pre-order. But I refunded DMC5 at the last minute to get it cheaper from Fanatical. Maybe that somehow invalidated the credit, so they refunded the Sekiro purchase? You'd think they would've been faster about it, though...

Either way, I played the game to completion so I'm honestly kind of indifferent about getting it back. It's kinda tempting to just keep the free money and rebuy the game for cheap down the line lol.

Bungie increased the pricing for Destiny 2. The price that I yesterday bought deluxe edition for is now the price for the regular version.

Gonna uninstall Destiny 2 from Battle.net. 85 GB is a lot of free space. Here's hoping it won't delete my save.

500k for 3d factorio after 3 months in middle of "bargain bin" price sale??
:unsure:
not really sure what to think
Epic happy - dick waving material to the max.
Coffee Stain keep the lights a little longer since the 'Get people in the door' firesale obviously got them most of that number. We'd have heard about it sooner if that wasn't the case.

this just means we'll see some of the less well off indies and naive publishers join EGS, or at the very least hear more from Epic about EGS in the coming months

Just for reference over here with the $10 off I can get Satisfactory for $5.99, and the base price is between $16 and $21 for a lot of regions, so yeah, it would have sold a lot. Even so I don't think the number is that impressive given the huge discount.

And we again seen that when they have good numbers they brag about it without using confusing PR statements... and just after the Microsoft, Destiny and BG3 announcements... what a coincidence :)

In other news... Oxygen Not Included is more complex than what I was expecting... thank god for the "UI scale" option or my "old man eyes" would be suffering now :p

Weird, for the past few days, I have been experiencing terribly slow speeds on Steam (Spain/Portugal servers).
It downloads at 1MB/s, instead of the usual 11.9MB/s or 14.9MB/s.

Earlier today, I downloaded a couple of games. The first one was more or less the usual speed (11+MB/s) but the second was back to 1MB/s.
Now, I just updated a couple of games, and downloaded the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, and took 30 minutes to download not much more than 1GB. 😢

Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Anything I can do about it?

Just played Fire Pro Wrestling World. Hadn't nope'd out of a game in quite sometime but this is just not for me. Will have to submit myself over Yuke's laziness to get my fix of wrestling games it seems. Gosh, how I miss Smackdown v Raw :crying-face:
