I've used that google rewards thing for little over a year now and they've paid out 31€ to me and I've put everything into steam. Not bad! I mostly just see that as funding me crafting badges, so with that and selling high and buying low when it comes to cards. I pretty much get my badges for freeee!:D

Not sure if posted, but new trailer for Star Renegade released yesterday, game is out sept 8th on Steam and GOG.

Tried the demo during game festival, it was pretty awesome.

There was a demo for this? I can't believe i missed it :tired-face::tired-face::tired-face:.

MOP is a vastly bad outlet. They have as much moral integrity as winnie the pooh. It comes to me as no surprise that they are shilling.
I don't think there are many other outlets that cover MMOs as much as MOP. They're mostly just reporting news with some opinion pieces every now and then (like that one). I used to frequent MMORPG.com a lot, but I don't like the new design. Do you have any suggestion for better alternatives that you see as good outlets?

I thought that was only available in North America. Don't see in the (iOS) app store either.
Is it an Android thing?

As someone who loves both Total War and Card Games, Elysium does fucking nothing for me and it's gonna get cancelled before it leaves the beta
it's just funny that Tim gets a real TW game ... and we get a port of a crappy mobile one, lol

I have never been able to cash out the money from Google rewards to PayPal. I can only use it on Play Store 😔

Well, Steamusers will be getting Warhammer 3, the biggest and likely best one, for sure.
With how the DLC's for these games work, they literally can't make the third exclusive, unless they also give away TW1+2 + all 50 DLC's for everyone

I'm afraid I don't know one. I used to read igdb's pulse but that one went offline a while ago.

Also, unrelated but I stumbled upon this and it's looking rather amazing!

Tbh I expect this to happen if TW3 is released on EGS, and given that SEGA is releasing Troy there I doubt they'll stop there.
Not sure about the temporary exclusivity

But main difference is that SEGA knows that Warhammer ones are a critic success and reception is way way way higher than saga, that's the only reason why troy did this movement, SEGA just though "well, this is going to be a similar case as britania, mixed reception and this fella is willing to pay us for a year of exclusivity that will pretty much cover a potential low performance, so hell yeah"

It's a pattern we have seen in multiple occasions when big companies are involved, projects which projections aren't that good for the internal consensus. If a game is good, they will fight to make it multi-store.

I really want a new Forza Motorsport with ray tracing. One with a meaty career mode unlike FM7.
Anything else is gravy.

Was reading about Humble cracking down on gifting. I suspect it's mostly the bulk traders, persons with multiple accounts who will be affected. For now, it seems like it's best to only trade keys rather than gift links? Also affects giveaways. So worth keeping in mind I suppose.

Edit: see below for links to threads on other sites about this

Care to share where you read about it?

I am at odds with HB. They didn't give me dark sousl 3 due to distributing laws. Yet I can buy it on the steam store...even a physical copy for PC. So yea they still pull shit like that to this day.

Do they at least disclose it upfront? Still very strange.

Goddamn its been hot in New Jersey this week. Like butter me up like one of your French turkey's hot. I had to sideline my beloved Dell 2410U monitor to backup/PS3 only duty. A bit tragic to have to sideline it this way, SD card reader, every input from DP to Composite video, USB hub, audio pass through, you name it, it does it.

In gaming, The Outer Worlds is ok, a bit cynical on the whole. Maybe I'm not in the mental frame of mind for cynical leisure activities.... Even worse, either I just Suck at Enter the Gundegon or the game sucks. After 650 hours in binding of issac you think I'd be pretty good at these types of games....

I, too, suck at Gungeon. It's quite demanding I found. Perhaps too much so.
In Isaac I can kind of zone out and chill, but I had to be 'on' to play Gungeon properly. Not quite what I want from games like that.

Thanks for the links. I have been doing some trading, but not in large scale. Mostly to split the cost with others so I don't have to pay for the full bundle when I only want one or two games. Looks like I will be buy more than sell from now on
