Man, I'm pissed.
I beta tested the game on Steam, and it was one of my most wanted games for the year.
Oh well, one less game to play.
This year will be great to clear my backlog.

So apparently even though Epic games added keys, they're not allowing sales of keys. Only those who preordered until now will get Epic keys. It was expected though.
But Humble still thinks they'll get steam keys, so maybe they got special deal?
*If* Microsoft is really going to make another push for PC (I know.....) it will be interesting to see how these cases are resolved because it goes directly against their interests on the Windows Store and Game Pass for PC.
EDIT: Ooops, it will be available on the Window Store. So now Epic deals are just for Steam... wow.
Not at all. Had Epic taken all that Fortnite money, made a store with a better cut for developers and actually helped fund some smaller or medium sized games instead of this agressive exclusivity crap, then yes I would interested in what they had to offer, even with all the missing features. I would still be hesitant given things like the "no reviews" and their history of getting out of the PC market screaming "piracy!", but give it an chance anyway. But now, I'm even regretting getting the free Subnautica.
Add to the list of things they're doing without any planning whatsoever except "throw money at it".
I feel like being an arse and only getting these Epic Store exclusive games when they're heavily discounted or in bundles.
My sentiment remains to these indie devs on Epic store though

Epic literally paying devs to keep games off of only Steam now it seems.
Don't forget GOG. Though if these games get released on GOG, I'd purposely laugh my ass off, and then I might REALLY settle for not getting their games til they're heavily discounted.

The nerve of the guys from Zen Studios.
They announced the game for Steam, had their beta testing on Steam (I took part of it), and they now take that feedback received from me and other Steam users, and launch the game... apparently everywhere but Steam.

So they didn't let you keep your steam copy? Some devs went to even revoke steam copies they had given away.

No, they revoked the key a bit abruptly at the end of December.
The beta testing ended a bit abruptly, it was weird. Especially because, when they revoked the keys, testers couldn't go to the beta testers only Steam forum to update their impressions and list bugs, since we no longer had access to it.
For example, I gave a few impressions and posted about some minor bugs, but left my "complete" impressions and updated list of small bugs until after I finished the beta (it was for the 1st chapter), but since they revoked the key, I could never update part of the info I gathered.
Denuvo has been removed from Hitman 2
I can see why people are gutted that Epic are stealing games away from Steam but to me it's just like they have a year of Early Access and i'll pick it up on Steam when it releases properly. In the meantime i have my Switch and my Steam backlog and plenty of games are releasing on Steam still so i can easily ignore Epic exclusives for another few months. I've never been one to play games "with the crowd" unless it's by accident so i'm used to missing the Water-Cooler talk and not being one of the cool kids.
Operencia looks nice but to me it just means i 'm more likely to be offered a GOTY Edition with all DLC and patches when it finally hits Steam in a year's time.

I have no idea what kind of game it is. Is it a pinball?Man, I'm pissed.

No, it's a grid based, first person, classic dungeon-crawler RPG.
It is a Roman strategy; force surrender by starvation.
So, Grimrock III?
OP
I will riot if epic grabs pinball fx too... But that luckily already has a big community on steam...
But who knows... The moneybags just have to be big enough

You know what I was thinking about? They trying to get the Truck Simulator series, because it has a big community.
And, coincidently, there's a stream with announcements regarding American Truck Simulator tomorrow.
Not you Zen not you.
It will be hilarious if epic gets the Street Fighter 2 table.
This looks cool as hell.

There are several parameters which can be tweaked to try to understand what is going on and ultimately get better results. However, I believe I have more or less settled for the method, not too complex so that I can be confident it is not bugged, and not too simple so that it has a rough idea of the concepts behind the words.

I can't take credit for that response. ListeningGarden came up with it basically, and Maniac said someone should say it, so I did.
Just wanted to thank The Queen for sharing the ReShade preset for RE2. Just noticed over on Era, but can't exactly thank you there.

If we're looking for a subtitle for February's thread i'd like to suggest "Moneyhats Not Included" or "Welcome, Computer Cowboys".
I'm trying to think of some positive ones but ehhh, i got nothing.

In Vectronom, players must memorize patterns and solve environment-specific riddles while moving their hopping cube to the beat. Obstacles change in sync with music as this colorful madness gets harder from level to level, challenging the player’s three-dimensional thinking. With the option of hooking up alternate controllers such as dance pads, Vectronom might even get you moving more than your fingers and brain cells.
Features
- Challenging single player campaign
- Each level features original electronic beats and a colorful, dynamic art style
- Play with friends via local, drop-in/drop-out multiplayer
- Level Editor - Create your own wacky levels using curated beats and challenge the world with never before seen rhythmic puzzles.
- Use alternate controllers like dance pads or MIDI instruments
- Create your own soundtrack - hook up to an analogue synthesizer via the headphone output and compose live music as you play along

To diverge a bit from all this talk about games not launching on Steam, let me talk a bit about the good games that are fortunately still launching daily on Steam.
Today, the following shmup launched on Steam:
From what I played so far, it's a lot of fun!
Also today, a great looking cross between point and click adventure and RPG launched, at a very attractive price tag:
And, it comes with the "seal of approval" from Dave Gilbert, from Wadjet Eye Games:
Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements is also out on GOG and Humble:
Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements on GOG.com
Buy Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements from the Humble Store

I backed Mages Initiation on Kickstarter! I got my key for it last night, was one of the last things game wise that I ended up backing was one of the "This looks very Quest for Glory-esque" which is why I backed it. Very excited about it!

Do post some impressions when you play it.
I'll be buying it on Humble today, but I'll probably only be able to properly play it in a couple of weeks.
and my probably last trailerdrop for a day
Headup games posted few trailers for their upcoming stuff recently
Dead End Job sends you into a madcap, Ren & Stimpy-esque world to bust up ghosts. It’s a procedurally generated, couch co-op, twin-stick shooter that straps a vacuum pack to your back, and puts a plasma blaster in your hand. For you, it’s just another day in the office.
Familiar Haunts
You take on the role of Hector Plasm, a worker at Ghoul-B-Gone – ‘the Number One experts in paranormal pest control’ – as you’re tasked with heading to haunted offices, restaurants, and other everyday buildings before freeing them of unwanted guests. One minute you're sucking up specters, the next you're sucking up to your bosses, chasing that promotion. Have you got what it takes to be the best at putting pests to rest?
Don’t Suck… Well, Actually Do
Exercise that fighting spirit, since every specter you snag and every resident you rescue is added to your client’s bill at the end of the job. Haunted by the ghost of your mentor, quite literally, you must learn the ropes and to save her soul before she’s forced to spend eternity as a spook (voted “Least Preferred Fate” in Ghost Hunter Monthly).
Kindred Spirits
Play alone or bust ghosts with a buddy in drop in / drop out co-op that works seamlessly within the main adventure. Plus you can play to an audience with Twitch and Mixer interactivity that allows viewers to help or hinder your assault on the afterlife.
Ghost Writer
Do you love 90's cartoons? Yeah, so do we, and we grew up on their stretchy squishy gross-out laughs. Our love for them spills over into the game like so much ectoplasm. See every nose hair in wacky, vibrant art that brings everyday items to life as screwball spooks to suck up. To top it off, the entire adventure is backed by music from the award-winning Will Morton (Grand Theft Auto series).
Publisher Headup Games and developer Magic Sandbox first-person exploration adventure game Windscape for Xbox One, Switch, and PC will launch from Early Access on March 27.
In Windscape you play as a young girl living on your parents’ farm, set in a lovely world made up of floating islands in the sky. As you discover the world you learn that something has gone terribly wrong - islands are breaking apart and falling from the sky! It’s up to you to discover the evil that is threatening the universe of Windscape.
As you travel the world(s) you will gather valuable resources allowing you to craft a plethora of items such as weapons, shields, potions, magical spells and much more. Some items will be just for fun while others are a necessity for your survival.
Vambrace: Cold Soul is a roguelike fantasy-adventure set amidst a frozen landscape. Plan your expeditions underground, then journey to the cursed city surface with your team of heroes. Wield unique powers, avoid dangerous traps, brave strange encounters, and survive deadly combat!
You are Evelia Lyric, bearer of the Aetherbrace and the only human capable of entering Icenaire. The survivors now look to you as their best hope against the King of Shades. Only one problem...you’re woefully outmatched, and survival is not guaranteed.
Vambrace: Cold Soul is a narrative-driven game filled with memorable characters, brutal challenges, and deep strategy. To succeed, you must choose perceptive party leaders, camp to recuperate, navigate strange encounters, and survive deadly combat. Will you scavenge for supplies to sell or use them to craft new items for your next expedition? The surface of Icenaire is cold and unforgiving. So, prepare your party well before departing...lest you join the cursed city's undead.
In this game, the difference between life and undeath all comes down to good planning and smart tactics!

If a dev announces a release 9 months after silence than that either means they've got a huge update coming or they're abandoning the development by slapping a 1.0 on it.

Well they say the are taking a break, so hopefully they come back.
This one looks super tasty. I wonder if there is replay value like in Darkest Dungeon.
And the dev previously released two games with positive Steam scores. It is a good omen.
