Excellent. Been looking to get the dlc for Cities Skyline.
Yes! FH3 coming to steam!
Probably won't but it's pretty funny that you still can't even pre-order FH3 on PC / Windows. Windows Store simply doesn't have it, less than four weeks before release. They pulled this magnificent stunt with Quantum Break as well and that game must have sold really well when they finally put it up at higher price than I have ever seen for a regular PC game.
With QB they said their superior store didn't support pre-orders because wow what a never heard and new concept that was, but that really shouldn't be the case anymore.

now thats a sale after my own taste!
and everybody should buy Crimzon Clover, just do it!
Mushihimesama is pretty cheap too...
Shmup sale and Ikaruga isn't featured?
This prediction is likely accurate. They aren't worried about revenue, but shifting the business model.

Wow, what a sale! The first Call Of Duty for the low price of 19.99!
"on another platform" like they are some Microsoft or Sony rep who won't acknowledge the existence of "another console"

Any one else having trouble adding reviews on Steam? It just... stays there. No feedback of any kind. If I refresh the page, it just shows me what I wrote down.
And with that I'm 100% up to date on CK2.
99% on EU4 (all but Mare Nostrum).
All my sales.
Looking at getting the After Dark DLC, looks like the Snowfall DLC has mixed reviews...

Microsoft can keep their first party games, all I wanted was Quantum Brak

Treasure is dead and Treasure has given up.
I bought Ikaruga on launch and give up on them ever bringing anything else.

The number of 50% offs in that last is just ridiculous. A handful of those should be at least 75% off.
Source?

^Treasure are still around, although they haven't done anything major or noteworthy in some time now.

Quite a few tempting deals on steam right now: Castle of Illusion, Paint it Back, Mushihimesama and RunGunJumpGun. But I don't think I'm going to pull the trigger on all of them.
That's pretty dumb if they don't have it on the Win10 store yet. You can still preorder it through the xbox store at least: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/forza-horizon-3-standard-edition/bpwf8jk5sq4m

Of course I would put eight quarters in Crimson Clover. Bought!
NEON STRUCT for $5 on Chrono.gg. That's a steal.

Some of those games I can agree. Missing patches and fixes isn't cool. Others.... When the multiplayer and mod support is based on steam, you can't really expect that nonsteam versions will access steam features. Also, Complaining that steam has a cheaper version, when the gog version runs better and tweaked and modern computers seems ridiculous to me.

remember that Castle of Illusions will be removed from Steam... tomorrow I think

DARIUSBURST 50%, not cheap but cheapest it's ever been.

Castle of Illusion is great. It sometimes has Crash Bandicoot vibes. Most of the time, it is more like Asterix or The Smurfs on Game Boy, in terms of level design. The biggest downside is that I have to reboot every time I alt-tab...

Treasure has no internal development and no actual employees. It still exists as a legal entity that could be started back up or bought out but that's unlikely currently.
I just can't get into the polygon graphics. I much rather fire up a Genesis emulator and play that version.

Yeah. I think it went that low on PSN once but this is a first for the steam version.
I'm probably going to get Assault Android Cactus.

The Genesis game is available on PSN/XBL as part of a CoI bundle. It was ported by M2 and is a great port.
The Treasure stuff I wasn't aware of. Night Dive or Devolver Digital should buy them up.
Or I dunno Projekt CD Red or whatever they're called :V
Wasn't they supposed to merge WinStore & Xbox Stores this summer?
I guess we can always wait for next Build.
This is some serious bullshit. I would've been so ready to abandon Steam for a while and get the dust off the 3DS...
Nintendo missing the best and most important part of Mario Maker by cutting out the online is just stupid. No one should buy that version despite how awesome the Wii U game is. Just get the Wii U and also play Bayonetta 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles X, Mario 3D World (an amazing game), and MARIO KART FUCKING 8. It's a good console.
3DS is great too, but not having the hands down best feature of the game is just mind boggling.
Also excited to get Cities Skylines in some form. Will it show up in a bundle or should I jump on this sale?

GOG works differently from Steam: having DRM-free versions mean you can't access some features like Steamwork. In example Spelunky on GOG missed daily challenges etc, because it was lacking pretty much the whole online structure. Of course if you want implement microtransactions (because selling items it's nothing else than a microtransaction), you can't on GOG: the system is lacking the infrastructure for that.
It's the reason why they introduced Galaxy. They are still working on it, but of course it will be ready at one point. They need it for Gwent, so probably soon or later a similar system to the Steam one for crates etc. will be available. But for now you can't have that.
The patching system also on GOG is very different from Steam: I think on GOG downloads are managed in chunks, this is the reason why some Witcher 3 patches were much bigger on GOG compared to Steam. Even for Dreamfall Chapters, I have a friend who told me for every episode he needed to download pretty much the whole game all over again.
I doubt GOG charges for patches, maybe the patching system is more demanding for devs in term of work needed in order to make a GOG patch vs a Steam patch, considering they need to work on two different kind of patches.

Well, that's why Ikaruga wasn't on sale, no one available to get approval.
