It does.
Just huge marketing push from Square-enix. The entire gmg is Thief too.
I was being a bit sarcastic, not much, mind you.
Yeah, but why? It's not like Valve needs the money.
Why does this remind me of Kane & Lynch?
If people wanted to give you lots of free money for promoting their dud, would you say no?
Why would they say no to money, especially if it's big money?
If I already had lots of money, yes.
And this is why you'll never have lots of money!

Yes, but it's still a lot better.
Here's how Uplay standalone client works, click download game, after the download is finished, you have to install the game through an installer, with ToS and "next" buttons. Then comes the patches, each patch is downloaded separately, and all of them have their own installers. Once you applied a patch, Uplay would launch the game automatically without checking if there's a newer one, so if you want your game to be patched to the latest version, you'll also have to close the game multiple times to make it work.
Edit: I spend nearly an hour on updating SC: Blacklist to the latest version.
Shut up dad

Yeah also this, when the auto patch downloader fails(come on, it's just a downloader, how could you mess that up Ubi?), you'll have to download and install the patches yourself.Obligatory:

That 5/10...may he rest in peace.
It totally is, also it makes me want Atelier games on steam, what can't be a bad thing. (><)
Well, they use PhyreEngine, which is supposedly multi-platform (used by Dark Souls). Might be worthy tweeting NISA about them.
Oh, I'm well acquainted with the joy that is Uplay. Especially when it involves SC: Blacklist.
If it's the same engine, at least Durante's work will be cut out for him.
Did NISA ever release anything on PC? I can't remember any such occurrence.

I love that Steam is fast-becoming the simulator nexus of the digital world.
20% off ($11.99) for the next week.
I'm waiting for Russian Pimp Simulator.

Is this linked in the game page?
If not, it damn should be.

It hasnt been on sale once...
I just think NISA forgot the PC-market (and I think maybe the price was a bit too high).

Hahaha, that DLC.
It was on sale a few times in 2012 but apparently one of NISA's New Year's Resolutions for 2013 was "Stop discounting Cladun."
Edit: Oh god, Warehouse Simulator has licensed forklifts. That's awesome.

Oh. Really?
I have it since I dont know how long in my wishlist and every sale I hope it goes on Sale. But it never does
What the eff?
I kind of wish Carpe Fulgur would be done with TitS already, so that they can go back to releasing Japanese Indie games.
Playism and Nyu Media are simply not enough. :|

You should be able to get it for $12 from a trader, which coincidentally is how much it was on USD stores when discounted.

They have been doing this for a while now for big releases, like a few years.
It's called Hotline Miami.
You mean Hotline Kavkas.

Yeah. Will do it when I have money again
Btw. whenever I check some of my games from my list, it seems even bad-mediocre games get good reviews. It seems just the worst of the worst gets the thumbs down reviews.
Unfortunately hotline miami is still incredibly buggy for me.
It's terrible. It really likes to start by itself whenever I have data connection.
I'll tell you in a few days, when it unlocks for me.
The fact that it apparently has cutscenes that make you a bumbling fool and leave you standing out in the open, like in fucking max payne 3, doesn't fill me with hope.
it just feels so bad not to buy an obsidian game
Dungeon Siege III pretty much cured me of that.
Hard to say. It's "better than good... a superb game" or "incomprehensible shit" according to reviews. According to the same review, actually.
