Maybe the time for 1 year EGS exclusivity deals for big games are coming to end, Epic couldn't even bribe RDR2 for a year. Indie games and B tier publishers like Paradox and Nu THQ + will probably take 1 years deals cause they're too greedy and stupid to know better. Steam got in return for some indie games leaving the platform, Destiny 2, Microsoft, Bethesda and maybe EA back.

but ... why? o_O
If you're not drenching your expensive monitor in water... what are you even doing with your life? :unsure:

I'm confused what's happening?
Witchcraft is what's happening.

And behold... after having the coating moisturized for ~5h I managed to pull it off easily in one go! (Pretty much exactly like this)

This is the result:





If you have any questions regarding black magic, voodoo or any type of witchcraft... just send them my way.

Long story short: I managed to scratch the monitor and I just couldn't live with it so I decided to get rid of the anti-glare coating of the monitor by dissolving the glue with water. Now the colors are more vibrant than before but as a result of the removal there's--of course--no anti-glare coating so it's very shiny and reflective now.

I was going to be like "your potentially ruining your monitor for nothing!!!" when I saw your first post but yeah, makes sense to remove damaged filter. Might still come back to bite you down the line, as certain dell monitors are notorious for being damaged AFTER the seemingly perfect removal of an anti glare filter.

Keep us posted!

Even a destroyed monitor would have been preferable to a matte finish so it was win:win no matter what happened.

Ooh I want to do that on my monitor, I really don't like the filter it has over it, but i'm not risking it lol, it's new...

Don't care for matte or gloss, just think colors/image in general would show better without it. It's almost a visible texture like slight noise/grain.

Dragon Age II got updated again. IIRC community_visible_stats are a manually added thing. I remember people freaking out when Dark Souls 1 added it because it was the first indicator that they were dropping GFWL and adding steamworks and achievements.
More and more it's looking like a matter of when not if EA will return to Steam.

10 buckers says Humble monthly has EGS keys before the end of the year.
Without a doubt. Apart from maybe Hades, the rest are bundle fodder and I wouldn't put it past Epic to "devalue" them just before they hit steam by either putting them into a bundle that now penalises you skipping it or just give them away for free on the store. Humble are are deep inside Epic's pocket.

Will do. :coffee-blob:

Ooph, that's a take!

But I see where you're coming from. The colors and everything is nice but we'll see how the reflections will come along.

I'm one of those "matte finish or bust" people. I tried a glossy monitor, couldn't unsee my stupid ugly mug staring blankly at myself.
I'm imaging this:

I hope this comes to PC as well.
Seeing how DQ Musou was able to release on PC, I would imagine that KT would be okay with porting it.

But since ATLUS is ATLUS, If we don't hear anything about a PC version for when they give out more information about this game In the west, than wait 2 years for SEGA EU to say something if they don't then it will likely never happen.

It looks cool, it still has Musou elements but it also looks like they were able to add a good amount of the Persona 5 formula as well

PUBG is on sale..should I dip? Its 13 for me (cdkeys is 10.49 but PP locked, would have to see if PP actually supports here now).

Also what is the new pass? All cosmetics plus throwing weapons? How are the missions?

I like the mobile version.

I was never that hyped for Outter World because at first glance it reminds me too much about Borderlands.
But the fact that it’s a crpg, and who the directors are, all that is beginning to sink in.

Too bad we will never know how Origin is really doing. I bet ever since they introduced Origin and premiere access the $$$ for them tanked hard in terms of game purchases.

I mean who would really launch Origin today with the purpose of spending 60$ on something. Everything is subscription driven for them and their most popular game Apex is free too.

Kind of makes sense for them to come back to Steam. And they should do GOG, EGS, Gamepass as well while offering their main sub service on the side as integration. It would increase their revenue for sure tho I don't know by how much.

FIFA and Battlefield would do well on Steam but everything else...eh. Not that they have much else. I guess Anthem could see a huge boost on Steam if they relaunch it the right away. (Like Destiny 2)

I think I might buy the new Star Wars game but I am not sure if I should just sign up for Origin Premium instead. You have until the end of October to sign up for premium and do the security thing and if you do you get another month for free. So that should be enough time to beat the game.

So my sub would start Oct 31. then it would end on Nov 30? and the extra month would be until Dec 30. The game releases on November 15, so I would have around 45 or so day to beat it for just $15USD? It's a single player game and stuff so I doubt I will go back and replay it or something (actually because of premium you get the game a whole week early don't you? So November 8 or November 10? Since it might just be 5 days early?) If that is the case 50 days for $15 might be worth it.

Just sub for origin primier
Ima do it for mirrors edge dlc and any stuff that ea has locked onto its store only.
Maybe ill give star wars a try but mainly because of signing up to the sub service and not letting it go to waste.

Again, please keep your expectations low of what's about to come from EA to Steam if it happens (and it will, prob. this year) as the stuff that it's going to come will probably be the games from 2011-2014, maybe Mirror's Edge Catalyst and MAYBE Titanfall 2 just because it's dead, jim.

For the rest? not going to happen, Battlefield, Star Wars and EA Sports won't ever come as those are the money money machines. Let's wait and see what happens.

What would I want? to get Dead Space 3, Mass Effect 3, Saboteur, Syndicate, Titanfall 2 and Crysis 3. that's it.

My dumb ass thought Origin Premier was great value when Battlefield 5 launched so I subbed for a whole year. All I got to play though was Anthem and FIFA20. Didn't really like BF5 and Anthem was crap so it was a huge waste of money.

And the best part, the sub expires exactly one week before Star Wars launches. Those fuckers at EA did that shit on purpose.

Yes, they know what they're doing with the sub and launch windows. I remember earlier this year when subbed for playing Anthem, they're releasing the next update right after my sub runs out. I started my sub right before the game went live.

I have a question: where did you find that lovely wallpaper? :)
Man, people will unsub from Humble monthly en masse if they have the audacity to give out EGS keys.
No you're wrong. Only a very loud vocal minority has issues with EGS :p

What exactly is this free month offer and security thing ?
As I already set up 2-FA I suppose I'm out of luck but never hurt to ask.

Edit - Turns out I'm eligible.

Edit 2 - Wait I'm stupid, here the explanation link

I'm pretty sure that EA will come back in full swing, everything will be on Steam from the day1 and such. Think about it, if they don't every pc release would be an additional damage to their reputation (Why game x is on Steam and that one nope? Boo!!), all of that for what? Just to sell a copy or two of the saboteur? It would be better to just stay on origin at this point, just like the last 10 years or so. Nah, that's something that requires a full commitment, they have to gain good will and money as well in this day and age, they can't sustain an half-assed solution today.

Speaking of SEGA Europe, am I wrong that it's been a while since they announced any new PC ports?
They have been really quiet. I would have expected them to have announced at least another Yakuza PC port or two by now. :(
Yakuza Kiwami 2 launched almost 6 months ago.

This is pretty common. SEGA Europe releases a few ports and goes silent for months afterwards all the time.

They released Bayonetta and Vanquish right next to eachother then went silent for 9 months and came back with Puyo Puyo Tetris.
