You meant the cheapest drug, right? Factorio is addicting.

Yeah denuvo is such a buzzkill. I used to dislike it on performance grounds alone.... But dude, when I went to play dead space on a plane for the first time, and that lil fucker told me it required internet to allow single player gameplay? fuuuuuck that. Never again.

I bought the dlc bundled. They always get me with that.

What should I get? I'm back on Morrowind from a bout of dwarf fortress. A modern Morrowind would be perfect. But not oblivion I need something fresh. I've been eyeing start citizen but the reviews are really lackluster especially about the thing I care about.

It’s worse than alcohol but better than heroin

I haven’t played a single game I bought from last summer sale ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think I will get:

• The Caligula Effect: Overdose
• Death end re;Quest
• Death end re;Quest 2
• Fate/EXTELLA
• Fate/EXTELLA LINK

The problem is I have many games unplayed in my backlog.

I went back to play the PS2 game and it's pretty fun, but I read the Steam port has tons of issues. Have you tried it?

People got wise to it lol. People were posting flowcharts about not buying games until they were on flash deals if you want them. Also some years I think they did something that led people to believe only having specific games on your wishlist was advantageous which led to people removing everything from their wishlist except for stuff that was more expensive. That disproportionately hurt indie devs.

All in all I think I'm glad it's gone. Plus the games (like that racing thing) never made sense to me.

Do you have evidence to support that the flash deal prices aren't the prices that are there for the entire length of the sale now?

What a bummer. Might get it second hand then instead.

Just because something is legally correct doesn't mean it is ethical. Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it is immoral.

To encourage you to spend a bit more on the remake

i remember one year there was a game i wanted all year

and it came up on flash sale finally for like 95% off, and steam shit the bed for two hours and I couldnt check out, presumably from the crush of purchase attempts.

I emailed and asked if they'd honor the price given the issues on their side, and they said no, I missed the sale. Not gonna lie, that kinda heated me up quite a bit, cause I didnt miss the damn sale, I wasnt able to check out cause their end shit itself.

Sadly nothing as I'm kinda broke. Got enough in my backlog to see me through though.

Or you can simply cough up the money and pay for one of the best games ever made?

I'm guessing minecraft beats it. Or if you look at an individual player with thousands of hours it's probably one of the mario speedrunners.

Outlaws isn't worth it tbh, I really enjoyed death stranding though great game

The price is the price, yo

Or we can be upset that some devs never put their games on sale when tons of others do. I don't care if it's considered "the best game ever made" by gamers who are already fans of factory-type games, that argument doesn't hold any water for someone who's a fan of other genres like RPGs or shooters.

Also, their "reasoning" that it's unfair to people who paid full price is bullshit and you know it. Tainted Grail had its full release last month, along with a price increase, but the game had gone on sale multiple times between the EA and full releases. Abiotic Factor is doing the exact same thing, and also had sales in between the EA release and full game. There's no real reason that it shouldn't go on sale at least once a year or something. If you miss a sale, that's on you.
