I need to buy more hours in a day at this point.
 
Microsoft has Sega Blue controllers, Sonic is drinking Xbox green beverage?

Play X-Files music please:

Microsoft is going into a mad publishing contract with Sega. Xbox will be called Dreamcast series X and S in Japan. UI will be blue, boot up screen will feature Sega and Microsoft. All physical games will be Sega Dreamcast branded.

All Sega games and franchises will be Microsoft and PC exclusive.

Warhammer is free from future EGS shenanigans and Warhammer 3 will be released this year.

I WIN! I finally win!

Now excuse me, the warden says I need my medication.
 
Crap with a crappy 25% discount. I tried the non-VR version on EGS and refunded it. Maybe the VR version is fun?
Dang, it can't be THAT bad? I'm mainly expecting some light fun messing with colonists and chillaxing with my cute pet birb~
 
What does this say ? Is this just twitter feeding into that MS/Sega rumour mongering?

I love this.More companies should do this. I'm not nearly a good enough programmer to really dig in, but I'd love to take a peak.

As the heat wave continues, we will deliver coolness to the timeline! What do you want to drink on a hot day?
is what the machine translation says. just a friendly style social media post that seems common on that page

People think the green drink (melon soda, pretty common in Japanese restaurants and café) represents Xbox.

Rough translation from me:
"Hot weather continues, so we bring in something cool to the timeline!

What do you want to drink during these hot days?"

Also, what trustworthy and reputable sources do you guys recommend to follow on the new Steam Hub News feature?

I started following Gamasutra and Gamesbeat.




I'm not particular fan or in love with Rogue-likes but that videogame looks amazing.
It's coming to Steam next year.

Added for those who wanted/asked about TGS 2020


That trailer was pretty cool. TGS 2020 will start the same time I start working :evilblob:


Hades has specific store assets for China.

Any other game does that?

Something is going on with MS and SEGA. We just don't know what. MS buying SEGA is super far fetched. Nonsense, really. SEGA are like Konami or Sony.. They're huge. They have so many business interests outside videogames. They have valuable IP, and they want to keep using them. Sonic 2 movie is gonna make bank.

However, something is happening. We'll find out soon enough, I guess.

Would the drinks need to be red or purple if it was trolling as Nintendo or Sony? Microsoft isn't going to buy everything not nailed down.
edit: Sorry, i'm just old man yelling at clouds over this, since apparently gaming™'s collective memory thinks this tis the first time publishers have gone on buying sprees and all the speculation and hoopla is getting annoying.

Today, I learnt that Valve switched their CDN provider.
Interesting!

Both are very solid in my experience.

I agree that it's far-fetched, but Sega certainly isn't too large for MS to buy. Unless I messed up my conversions, they should be "cheaper" than Zenimax.

I also feel like Sega's many businesses outside of videogames make it less meaningful for MS to acquire them. But at this point in time I wouldn't rule it out entirely.

If I had a shitton of money I'd buy Sega if only to restore the arcade that was closed recently.

Yeah, that's my opinion as well.

I mentioned before I don't believe in a full acquisition, because Sega Sammy is a big company, with multiple interests outside of gaming, a number of real estate, a lot of staff, (...).
I don't mean by that money-wise. Microsoft easily has money to buy them (especially since they have been struggling quite a bit due to the pandemic scenario we are living, which has made them have to temporarily (or in some cases permanently) close some of their physical locations).
I just meant that I doubt Microsoft would want to acquire the whole company, and suddenly have to manage a big number of interests in areas they usually might not deal in.
But, while I don't believe it is happening, I could see Microsoft acquiring just the video-games side of things, the teams, the IPs, (...). That would probably prove the stepping stone that would allow them to finally enter the Japanese market in a meaningful way, since so far all their efforts (mainly by going after a few "niche" companies to develop a title or two) have gave them nothing to show for.

...oh my god, it's been in front of us the whole time..... Microsoft is buying Finland!

I wonder if Super-Gamer is a nickname for unit testing, or if they really have an AI play-test the game. :pro:
It's mostly likely a combo of both. I've known some devs who have ai scripts run through their levels to make sure completion is actually possible. Especially when certain aspects are procedurally generated not hand designed.
 
Back to my adventures in selling cards in the community market, in an effort to buy STAR WARS: Squadrons (which, by now has turned into a long-running odyssey): I'm now just 5€ short. :blobcheer:

I mean, first I had close to 30€, but bought Operencia and a few more small games, and was left with less than 10€.
Then, I managed to sell quite a few more cards again, after days and days of "farming" stuff, and was just 2€ short, when I ended up buying a cheap game + a cheap DLC (both were less than 6€), and then Freedom Fighters was announced and released, so I spent almost 10€ to buy it, so I was back at the half-way mark.
These last couple of days went well (including a foil card that gave me 1€+), so I'm back into finishing range. I just need to stop buying more crap, so I can finally buy the damn game using no "real" funds. :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:
 
Personally I'm a bit tired of Black controllers. Give me all those funky colors.
I hope they'll add custom images to the series x controller after they re-open the design lab, I'd pay up to €200 for a custom controller with RAITA artwork engraved on it.
