THQ Nordic did not Deep Silver. Remember Deep Silver released Metro Last Light Redux like year after original release and charged for it even though it contained some big fixes.
Go to xbox.com - there should be an icon "get Xbox for 1€", click on that, login and then it takes you to the screen where you chose between Ultimate and PC - both for 1€. It works for me until the payment - I didn't buy because I just don't need any game of the Gamepass at the moment. I already subscribed two times with that account, so it should work as long as you are in-active at the moment. I am from Germany, maybe it's a regional thing though.
Thanks for the tip but it does not seem available for me for whatever reason.
Has it only been a year? Geez I could have sworn it was longer.
Good that he finally managed to get this out of the way.
Maybe write them an email. But if it's a regional thing then you are probably out of luck.
I just received a Tabletop Simulator's gift from a friend, but I already own it so I can't claim it. I talked with her and we agree to share it here, so I'll give it to the first that PM me with his/her email so my friend can sent it.

Both the Android and iOS app seem like they are neglected by Valve. They are certainly due for an overhaul.
A Mortician's Tale by Laundry Bear Games
A death-positive game where you play as a mortician tasked with running a funeral home
laundrybear.itch.io
Currently free on itch.io
I picked it up before the sale and have been enjoying it a lot.
It is not without issues - the spawns are wacky at times for enemy units & some of the systems are a bit simplified but there are quite a lot of mods out & they recently added an official mod manager to the game.
Took some screenshots when I first started playing - you will see my modded hud at the end.
I only bother if you get a decent upgrade price. Although some remasters make the game worse on PC.
My Thief Reboot playthrough ideas is currently on hold ( i went back and game reminded me how slow and methodical it is and i am not in a mood for something slow) so i am already like 30 minutes scrolling through my Steam library and i can't decide what to play next.
I got the Game Pass deal I linked above. I bought 2 years of Live Gold from Costco, digital delivery within an hour, for $95. Plus the $1 GP which upgrades an existing sub, with taxes means I now have 25 months at just over $4 per month each. I foresee A Plague Tale and the new Ori in my near future.
Lucasarts adventure remasters that DoubleFine worked on were quite good, but in general, no. They improvements are rarely enough to justify the asking price.
With zero new content, there's little reason for anyone with the game already to get this =/
Never heard of it, but I am kind of a sucker for games that are similar to xcom and darkest dungeon.
I am not too keen on TBS these days and I heard this is more of a puzzler than a conventional strategy game. Is that true? Because I really don't like puzzle games :D
Been playing a lot of Bannerlord and boy is it good. Devs have been releasing patches every day, so things are slowly improving. I can't wait to see where the modding community goes with this, imagine the overhauls like the ones for Warband.
Steam :: Artifact Classic :: Looking Forward, Looking Back
When the members of the team decided to reboot Artifact we all did it for different reasons. Some of us loved the original game and wanted to see it thrive. Some of us liked the freeing sense of creativity you can have with a card game. Some of us love trying to figure out how something is...
WOK ALERT
What a novel concept, instead of focusing on shitty monetization and marketing, let's make a good game. I bet influencers got richer off artifact than valve did, because everyone seemed to be hyping that shitty game.
The core gameplay of Artifact was pretty good, the main problem was that it was anti-everything that was learnt about card games for PC.
It had a very steep curve, it was too complex to start up with (due to lacking easy visualization of the entire map), and it was too long in general. I would blame it more in them playing too much of the game and getting used to the negatives (which make it harder for new players to get into it).
But in general, outside of it the core gameplay was very solid (although some color lacked better core identity).
Also, saying that Artifact had a ton of marketing is a bit funny taking into account how it had nearly nothing.
Yep
It was damn time that they released Alyx, so that the workforce could go back to other projects, like Artifact.
Streamers were hyping us.
Artifact team was separated from Alyx. This is more about Valve trying to focus PR one thing at a time.
lol
Valve: You're going to have to reach out to EA or Respawn
In 2 days, Dreamscaper is getting a free "prologue" (read: demo) on Steam with about 6-8 hours of content.
I must admit, I'm not big into rogue-likes, because I prefer to face the same challenge and grind it down via sheer obstinancy as I slowly get better.
But the premise here and how your 'waking world" decisions seemingly influence what you face when you sleep is the kind of hook that's gonna draw me in.

Depends on the title.
Saints Row 2 would have made a million times more sense especially with the PC port that we got. I sometimes wish i was a fly on the wall with some of the business decisions being made.
That reminds me, have they said anything about the updated port for 2? They announced that they had found the code for the old CDPR port and were going to update it and make it, well... Decent, but I haven't seen anything more about it.
That is exactly true and the reason I stopped playing the game. The RPG elements to the game are hardly there, equipment is few and far between and the card system wasn't great for customization. And yes, each map felt like a puzzle with one specific solution that you had to work out the exact order of.
Honestly, I'd just go straight for Shadow of War. in SoM you don't get the best part (ability to order your brainwashed orcs around) untill like 80% into the game.
SoM is an extended tutorial for Shadow of War, and the story is nothing to write home about in either installment.
It looks like it won't be for awhile since only a two person team is working on it. I had no idea about this until now :o
I kinda need to play previous entries in franchise if i own them XD I will maybe watch story so far for games i don't own or can't play anymore, but if i own game i will play it.
Yeah they didn't do a big announcement for it because they had just started it. Hopefully it doesn't take that long, and they continue with their plan to use steamworks for the multiplayer.
Damn Saints Row 2 was good.
SoM is relatively short and easy to just blast through. It's nothing special, but fun enough for the amount of content it has.
Everything I saw of SoW suggests that it was far more bloated and required more grinding (though they may have changed things when they got rid of the micro-transactions).
