Tell Me Why got proper regional pricing along with a 50% off sale. Might be a mistake though.

The game is still not available in my region :V
Gift me the game, ya lout!now everyone can play the best game of last year!
Thank you! Just bought, couldn't finish it because my gamepass elapsed, hoping my save file still there.
Standard Edition is using Valve's recommended regional pricing for most countries (sorry Brazil), high chances of it being increased in the next couple of hours.
Of course they ignored the recommended price in Brazil
Not even a launch discount, I'll wait for a sale.
Same pricing as the Windows store, I didn't expect to be cheaper. I'm glad that I got both Forza 3 and 4 for half price of the ultimate edition
Yeah, that's exactly where I'm at. Big acquisitions like this suck but my dislike for both Sony and their fanboys makes it hard not to get some enjoyment out of the whole thing.
And even though they're doing a lot of the right things right now, I'm not naive enough to expect Microsoft not to start sucking again in the future. With all these acquisitions they've been making, if and when that happens, the impact on Steam will be even bigger and worse than the EGS could ever dream to be...
edit: Also fucking CHRIST at that forza pricing lmao. Yeah okay, I was willing to impulse buy at the right price but I guess it's gonna have to wait for a sale.
my thinking since the acquisition announcement has been that (Deathloop and Ghostwire aside) only multiplayer/GaaS titles will be on PS5 going forward. could be wrong, of course, and either way PC gamers will be fine, everything should be on Steam and Game Pass PC at launch
Forza is too pricey for me to bite at this time. Will wait for sale.
Loop Hero has me occupied right now.

Why wait for Microsoft to suck when they are single-handedly leading the 70 bucks charge on PC?
Fuck you, Microsoft.
Fuck you, Microsoft.
I really hope this is true. I'm not paying €70 for Microsofts games, nor am I planning to support uwp games with encrypted game files.
€70 for a 3 years old game? F*ck off Microsoft.

Anyone gloating about exclusivity and console wars because you're not affected, remember that the only reason you're not affected is because of the decisions of people in charge, and that could change anytime.
Meanwhile seems like it's $60 in the US...I really hope this is true. I'm not paying €70 for Microsofts games, nor am I planning to support uwp games with encrypted game files.
€70 for a 2 years old game? F*ck off Microsoft.
Why even put Forza Horizon on Steam if this is all you have to offer lol
See you in Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft. I ain't paying full price + DLCs for this shit.

Castlevania LoS1 beaten.
This game is much better played on Easy or Normal, harder difficulties just make the combat a somewhat worse experience IMO. I still find the series middling with a mix of good and bad stuff but the good stuff are commendable.
Gonna do the DLC next but I always find it hilarious how

How Satan in the first game has a well fit body
Then for the next 1000 years he'd been hitting the gym

As ever when i watch Josh, I feel inspired. I might have to do some home remodelling and use some fireplace strats in my Valheim world this evening.
I need to just mess about in a game to unwind tonight. Probably watch the Nyanners Bloodborne VOD while playing.
IF someone is feeling generous i won't mind Forza Horizon 4 XD
Just imagine if Sweeney was in charge of Xbox today. He would literally be buying every single dev from Steam top sellers list and delisting games from Steam every day all while crying about 30% cut. The fuckery levels involving Bethesda would have been astronomical for PC gamers too.
Luckily Spencer seems like a normal person who can read the room. But with how much they are growing and acquiring I can see him turn heel soon.
699 nok aka 70 euro in Norway, yet the 3rd best seller in the country and 2nd globally.
Tizoc Unfortunately the only thing loaded about lasman are his cheesy chips
Damn, now i want cheesy chips. This post was a mistake.

I know I'm poor as dirt and also a cheap bastard but I'll never understand how so many people manage to buy so many games on release/full price...

That's extremely disappointing. People buying FH4 at such an absurd price are ruining it for everyone
Unpopular (?) opinion, but FH3 is better than FH4 simply due to Australia having more variation.
Tell Me Why - Chapter 1 of Tell Me Why now available for free! - Steam News
Experience the first part of this award-winning narrative adventure from DONTNOD Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios at no cost.
In principle, I could afford to buy games at that price, but I still couldn't justify paying 70€ (or even 60€) for a game to myself.
In the vast majority of cases that is, where the one asking is some huge publisher. I'm actually a bit more willing to pay 60€ or at least close to it for high-quality independently published "AA" or "B" games in under-served genres I like.
But the MS's, EAs, Ubisofts and so on of the world really don't need me to pay absurd prices for their games.
I pay up to 150 PLN for games. Made an exception for BG3 and paid 200 since I know it won't be on sale for a long while anyway and actual RPGs are very rare.
I still remember when paying 135-150 PLN at launch got me a Ubisoft collector's edition with a sick figurine, steelbok, comic and shit (SC: Conviction and AC: Bortherhood). Now you can't even get a key to the most barebones version for that price smh.

i pay whatever the fuck i feel to pay ... ultimately i usually wait for conent complete version and there are usually just some limitiers that lowers the max price i am willing to go.
For example any game with expiration date (as in always online singleplayer) or with potential future compatibility issues (mostly DRMs or UWP) lowers my baseline price significatly . I also often get toons of random promising indies for some reason
Although occassionaly i get steam wallet cupon for a fraction of the price , which changes the counting with "wallet cash" singnificalty .

Realistically speaking, you must be prepared to wait indefinitely for the western release of Crossbell duology, for two reasons:
1. The original games are 11 years old by this stage and marketing any old games is risky in terms of business since it will most likely earn less profit than newer games like the Cold Steel arc.
2. The script size for the duology is massive and will take considerable effort to localise. Any production house will be reluctant to take on the project because of point #1, above.
However, the PC version of the two Crossbell games are available for purchase legally, and unless you're averse to downloading a fan-made patch and adding the games manually as a shortcut in your Steam library, I'd say the best way to play the Crossbell duology is with Geofront's patch.
You can purchase Trails from Zero from DLSite for 2750 JPY (they accept foreign credit cards), and you can get the patch here. Secondly, Trails to Azure is available from Joyoland for 60 CNY (they accept Paypal). The patch for Azure is still unreleased, but you can keep an eye out for it here.
I recommend reading the instructions on Geofront's website regarding purchasing Azure though since it's not advisable to activate its license at this stage due to its DRM.
Jeff Grubb is no longer certain that FromSoftware will show off anything for Elden Ring in March:
That's the thing, though -- "Phil" isn't our buddy, and he's not reading a room. He doesn't give a crap what you or I think. He works for shareholders and to further his career. Right now, leadership thinks they'll make more money selling on PC. What you said about Sweeney is right on, though -- someone like him ends up in charge and watch everything we're taking for granted right now change overnight.
