On brand for these dummies.
Like, it says literally in the quote that IOI could have set a launch discount and have it last throughout the sale, if they wanted to. Clearly IOI doesn't want to discount their launch on Steam. There's being charitable, and then there's outright lying. Or should I just assume that the writer can't even read or comprehend the very paragraph he put in his article?Andy Chalk - writer at PC Gamer and person with great reading skils said:
The cherry on top is this bit though:
Games have sales on other websites all the time, without offering discounts on Steam. But I guess it's weird to expect someone writing for a site called "PC Gamer" to know that. Instead of doing some basic research (or I don't know, playing and buying games on PC and just knowing this shit), or just asking Valve (like you know, a reporter would do), let's just spread bullshit FUD about Valve and their nefarious price parity policies though.Andy Chalk - writer at PC Gamer and person with great deductive skills said:

First haul. Likely to get another batch of games a few days later.
FTL: Faster Than Light | Trials of Fire | Wasteland Remastered
FTL: Faster Than Light | Trials of Fire | Wasteland Remastered
Like anyone at Valve gives a shit the game was 50% off at Epic lmao
Andy Chalk has been shilling for EGS since the very beginning. Gaben must have killed his dog or something.
Anyway, I don't care how awesome IOI's upcoming games are. They don't deserve my money.
Alright that's Dying Light 2, Warhammer 3 and Elden Ring preordered... I might be set for February
Really funny how PC Gamer has become Epic's media mouthpiece.
In case anyone's interested, Helldivers is 75% off:
For the past several years, it's only had a 50% discount on Steam.

He is a new robot master for Mega man 12 hahaha
Hello there!!! Hope he comes back soon.
Thank you pal!
The very first one? Dude you're a pro hahaha yeah they really use the touchscreen and stylus in a very interesting way. If you try it again, be sure to comment on it!!!Welcome~
I've only ever played the first EO. It's a shame that the series will be forever locked to NDS/3DS, but I might give it a go again one of these days on Citra.
Otaku power!!!Another anime game player. MC is turning into a wicked place!
/jk. Welcome onboard!
we're gonna take over the world!!! hahaha jokes aside, i don't mind the aesthetics of the game :3Thanks for the welcome, i guess he is very known here hahaha
Yeah!! he is hiding his kinks XD
Now that you asked, yes! EO1 ,2 ,3 4, and the untold ones!!! Still got some left. Not sure if we're ever going to see them on another platform that DS/3DS
That's really cool!! Care to share some pics of the cartridges??? Those games need a lot of patience, and a lot of dying hahaha
What about an EO collection?? That would be really cool!! They did a great job with the untold remakes.
Sorry to hear about your cancer dude, hope everything is going well with thatJust a really toxic situation happened between my group of friends... It's really hard to explain. And I gave it my absolute all to keep everyone together, but over the course of a few weeks things just continually broke down between everyone. Things were said, wounds ripped open. Everyone drifted apart, ghosted, broke promises, and it's just a mess.
For my own part, i take plenty of blame. Since Summer when my colon Cancer was diagnosed and I got surgery for my Crohn's Disease... I wasn't quite the same. Struggled a lot with depression and I didn't get on anti-depressants until October, they didn't take effect until half-way through November. So I admit, for my own part there were plenty of days I was a miserable person (and even now... not everyday is sunshine and rainbows you know?), but I showed up everyday i could and did my best regardless. Even in the end, I tried to keep everyone together but... Well, I hate to admit it but it's just at this point where bridges are burned and everything is sad.
. Its sucks when the group grows distant, but there is always the possibility of new friends!! if you're up to start something, I'm up too!! I like wow, and wished to try FF.
Ubisoft responds to angry NFT Digits and Quartz reaction – Interview
We talk to Nicolas Pouard, VP at Ubisoft's Strategic Innovations Lab, about the launch of Ubisoft Quartz and the Digits NFTs
www.finder.com.au
Basically Ubisoft is here saying that gamers are too stupid to understand what NFT/Quartz can bring them and that it will benefit us even if we don't see how.
Ubisoft says they will also continue to integrate it despite the complaints. So fuck us. They'll just bulldoze whatever they want anyway.
Yeah mainly because I don't understand any new mechanics introduced after GX. lmao.
All my Yugioh knowledge is old-school.
The way to get new cards is extremely fucked as well, but Konami gonna KonamYeah mainly because I don't understand any new mechanics introduced after GX. lmao.
They deleted me correcting in much detail how discount parity is for Steam keys etc. and asking why they didn't at least google it before writing fake news.
It's sneaky in that if I'm logged in I get no indication of it happening at all, but looking at the page without logging in my comments don't show at all, I dunno.
Hey, EGS gets a ton of sold on Steam games for free, let's just spread fud that Steam forces price/discount parity on EGS for this game though, it makes sense.

Unfortunate reminder that SE delisted The Last Remnant and never gave us the remaster on PC.
I feel like this has kinda been long forgotten, sadly. I was reminded of it yesterday, but i don't remember from where/how.

Master Duel isn't gonna be that great once the gems dry up but the ability to craft cards make this infinitely better than Dual Links.
I don't think I'll ever put money on it. I don't trust Konami.
Oh no doubt, I"m waiting for the day that Konami fuck it up but right now it's pretty good all things considered. Battle pass progress is very reasonable, following any advice will get you a "meta" deck with a few staples without spending a dime.
Ubisoft has the solution in search of a problem, but routinely gives up on actually finding the problem and just moves on to their next boneheaded endeavorUbisoft responds to angry NFT Digits and Quartz reaction – Interview

Fucking finally. Still worried about how they've remixed the PS/Saturn versions into one but we'll see.

PowerSlave: Exhumed launches February 10 for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC
First-person shooter PowerSlave: Exhumed will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and GOG on February 10, developer Nightdive Studios announced.

Outside of basic gaming news I just don't bother with PC Gamer anymore.
Will this get fixed faster than demo still actually not working at all (in online mode)?
Of course they did. PC Gamer has been on Epic's payroll for almost 3 years. They have been praising Epic and shitting on Valve on every occasion.
Incoming Article about how Steam is pretty much piracy and should be jailed.
I've got them digital, unfortunately. They were discounted pretty steeply a while ago and IIRC I picked up 4, 5 and either the EO1 or 2 remake (which I used to have on DS).
In keeping with my now-yearly tradition, I rolled up to the Steam Lunar Sale and bought a whole lot of quirky Japanese games.
Looking forward to playing Bustafellows, as I've been in the mood for an otome lately. Also finally bit the bullet on Idolm@ster: Starlit Season - always been curious about the series, and somebody in the discussions forum is apparently already working on a rudimentary English patch.

I feel Im one of the few not particularly interested in Dyign Light 2, will depend of critic reviews, user reviews and my person interest. I found the first game rather boring honestly. Otherwise I have currently Warhammer 3, Elden Ring, Bloodlines 2 (lol, but it was cheap) and LiS Remasterd on pre-order.

I am kinda interested in Dying Light 2 but not 50$ interested. I have enormous backlog, I need to replace my phone because battery degraded a lot (it served me well for over 4 years) and overall I want to save more money than last year so I need to balance my purchases. Focusing on great backlog should be good way to do it until Gotham Knights and Hogwarts are out XD
And can you guess who wrote this article?

I don’t care much about this PC Gamer shit, business as usual, but what I can say is that I lament the lack of a good PC centric website. At the moment I can think of PC Gamer, PCGamesN, DSO Gaming, Rock Paper Shotgun… and the whole lot is more or less trash fire. Clickbait, EGS bias, listicles up the wazoo, paywalls.
We really need a small passionate team making a site that would work on a reasonable budget and thus wouldn’t require all this bullshit.

FWIW, everyone and their dog seems to be talking about how monumentally amazingly stacked this Q1 is, and the only thing that interests me personally is Elden Ring. Even then I'm unlikely to get it at launch actually.
I'm the weirdo but game I'm most excited for this year no joke is AI Somnium Files 2. After that probably A Plague Tale 2.
It's a catch 22 situation. Sites take the money because they need it to keep the lights on because many people run ad-blockers so the site doesn't get money that way, list articles and clickbait get views. People love to be angry and misery loves company so these articles drive ad-views to get money to pay for things. Also, who doesn't like money? It was the same back in the print era too. Very few "ethical" publications survive because nobody wanted adverts or paywalls and they didn't get the views to attract investors.
The problem is that everyone wants great game journalism but hardly anyone wants to pay for it. Luckily a lot of the good data driven and practical sites are part-funded by patreons which helps. I'd be interested to see how EuroGamer's subscription service is helping out.
There are many great small sites but in order to keep going they are very niche so you need a big list of them to cover your interests... and you need to put up with adverts.
Maybe this will change in future now everybody has 5 or 10 subscriptions and patreon donos so we're more used to paying for services like journalism?
Who knows? i don't.

I planned to pre-order Horizon 2, but the Geforce Now leak has just made me more unsure about when to get the game.
Up to you of course but I imagine it'll still be a couple years off on PC.
Personally, that's just another one I don't care about. I miss when Sony made interesting exclusives (imo)
The Geforce Now leak hinted towards september this year and Alex from Digital Foundry hinted on ERA it will be a short time betweren PS5/PS4 and PC release. That's why Im unsure.
EdwardTivrusky Sure, while I despise the state of things right now, I understand where they are coming from.
I was under the assumption that less workforce, less need for shenanigans. But maybe you are right in thinking that it would limit a site too much, that it would be niche and you would need several of those to cover your needs.

I’ll be waiting it out for a bit. It either gets a PC release soon and I buy that, or the PS5 version goes on sale at a price I’m willing to pay and I buy it then. I am not fussed either way.

Yeah, I think I will too. My backlog is too big of games Im planning to play through + Elden Ring and Warhammer 3 will take up a lot of my time.
