It has been harmless for the most part but it could have been bad. There is really no way of knowing until these games start releasing on steam and seeing how well they are selling. Or what happens to some of these dev teams down the line.
Also it can still get even worse. Epic starts moneyhatting even more next year. They start yanking games off the steam store that have been on steam for a while...(kind of like the Rocket League thing that will most likely happen). Pubs and devs continuing to treat an open platform like shit. It stupid and harmful to pc gaming as a whole. If Valve can prevent this stuff from escalating even further they should do it.
To buy Remnat or not to buy Remnant.
I like looty shooty and the aesthetics appeal too me.

They should at least implement some kind of measure against pubsdevs keeping misleading store pages around. But it's a difficult balance, like pointing out that the game has gone timed-exclusive could also be seen as advertising the other store. And if these deals happen so sudden and unexpected and shady pubs like Bigben just can't be arsed to change their store pages in time there'll always be a delay. Still it really is in Valve's best interest to get a handle on this because it directly affects the experience of consumers using the store who now can't be sure about anything anymore.
Keep em coming. I’m probably not gonna bother with it until its cheap because of the EGS deal but seeing the deals start to end is so gratifying. Now if Satisfactory comes to Steam ill buy it day 1.
It's like Dark Souls but imagine you have generic "hunt 5" and "fetch items from a corpse" quests that sound you again and again into the same spots on the games little open world-lite maps with no resemblance of level design, while you fight monsters with a choice of like three different weapon types and an A.I. partner who can do all the killing for you while you sit back and enjoy a Maitai.
Planned Release Date: 27 August

Alrighty then.

Someone pranked Sergey that all anime fans are furries?

Interesting. Launched Hitman 2 shortly and exited. Steam recognized I own Hitman 1 and the legacy levels started downloading. Checking the license activation page in steam shows I was granted the legacy pack.
But... If I go to the legacy pack DLC store page it is not marked as owned. Very curious.
I still believe it would be enough for me to purchase the legacy upgrade pack to get everything, but I still think IO handles these activations very weirdly.

That should be correct. Because... you don't actually own the Legacy Pack DLC.
The Legacy Pack DLC is for those who own both the full HITMAN game + the GOTY content. You only own the first.
To quote the Steam page:
«This is the full Legacy Pack, which includes all remastered locations and missions from Season 1 and The Game of The Year Upgrade.
The bundle includes:
- All content from Season 1
- The Patient Zero Bonus campaign
- 3 Themed Escalation Contracts
- 3 extra Outfits
- 3 extra Weapons »
For example, I own the GOTY edition of the previous game, and on the Steam store, I'm marked as owning the Legacy Pack DLC.
Since you only own part of the content, you have a cheaper upgrade option, so that you can get the missing content.
That's why there's two options.
I have 116 installed at the moment but I used to have 210 installed (My old hard drive died) I'd like to have more installed but I have a data cap so it's pretty much make a list each month and see what I can safely download without disrupting my cap too much along with what I will most likely want to play and will probably play in the near or far (6~ months) future.
That's what I keep telling myself at least
Ahh... Of course. You are so correct!That should be correct. Because... you don't actually own the Legacy Pack DLC.

Also Ostranauts is shaping up to be really cool
Edit, or fake edit?
Did I already post this before? Lol
Well whatever It's probably been a month now so uh.. watch it again if you want?

It's okay. Good for a single playthrough at the very least, got bored by the second one, despite a lot of talk about replay-ability and procedural generation.
There's also a lot of very strange and lazy design decisions, could've used another 3-6 months of development imho.
Reminder that Ashen hasn't gotten a single patch since the release month and the online is still broken. Wait for Steam reviews before jumping in.
While Valve should probably do something on the back end to stop publishers from dicking around with store pages/release dates (and theyve started to do so), letting EGS and the devs air all their stupidity in public while Steam does its usual thing, has, if anything; payed off better for Valve so far.
Theyve incrementally improved some smaller things - the labs, the release date rule change, the upcoming (maybe one day) interface changes. And what has EGS done? EGS has failed to live up to all but the 88/12 split promise at this point, and several devs have shown just how petty/stupid they are with their PR by calling their own fans out.
Valve has problems, sure, but it hasn't exacerbated any of them by staying mostly silent on the EGS front.
Dammit. Ashen is the one game I was actually hoping to one day pick up once it reaches Steam/gog... darnit
Yeah saw that yesterday and was blown away! Hopefully they get to a point where the translation could show up on screen without pausing the game though, that would be a game changer!
that 50% off AC:Od season pass is tempting. i sunk to much time into base game already though
How are the hud options in Odyssey? I tend to like my stealth games a little less hand-holdy, and prefer to not see enemies through walls. However the minimal hud in Origins went a little too far and didn't show important stuff, like loot you pick up, or the weapons that you have equipped. Is this fixed at all?
That dying light 2 footage is incredible. All the new parkour moves really expand things and make it look less repetitive as well as opening the environment choices a bit more. I'm already 100% in and they haven't really shown too much of the branching choices and all that still.
I've only played on free weekends but I didn't like it at all, despite being a huge fan of the first one. It looks really bad -- worse than TC1 somehow -- and doesn't play well either. It feels like driving bumper cars and the world isn't as appealing to explore because it's just painful to look at at times. When it's raining, it doesn't look half bad, but in dry conditions it's as if it's missing shaders or something. I legitimately spent time to look up whether my game bugged out, I was in such disbelief at the graphics.
I see. Thanks for your comments. I think I’ll give it a try and refund if it sucks.
In some patch they completely reworked the lighting, which was barely there at first and lead to a flat look and not seeing anything during nighttime. Game itself is a step down, the story in 1 was duuuuumb but it gave you motivation to drive through the country, explore. That's gone now, no reason not to just fasttravel from one event to the next. Makes one wonder why they built the whole country. Lots of other weird design decisions too with changes that made things worse. I still put in 20hrs or so but compared to Forza Horizon 3/4.... no competition.
Too bad the game does nothing interesting with them, maybe they added more variety but I recall doing the same boring stuff over and over again.
Epic seems to count on consumer backlash to keep their exclusives and shitty store under attention. That's a really, really disgusting way of doing business. I can't possibly understand why people are still defending them.
Not for me. Ashen and all other Annapurna games involved in store exclusivity deals are - and stay - on my ignore list. I'll consider buying future games from Annapurna once they get their head out of Epic's ass.

there was one streamer streaming it last week (a few days ago) ... and people were asking him if it's a steam copy or not ... and he said it was
furthermore, in places like Keymailer, a website that serves as a way of streamers to request codes for games, has it listed as a steam key as well.
That's too damn expensive. Buuuut, since WRC 8 is out of the picture....

Dying Light was a fantastic game that I greatly enjoyed, and Dying Light 2 looks like it's basically everything but...
Nice, I hope the port doesn't have problems like the X collection and maybe show Capcom that people are interested in ZX3
