videogamedunkey made a video about it I think, would explain the sudden rise.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

Youtube is too powerful sometimes.
It's been getting played by some streamers and youtubers recently too like Day9 and lobosjr.
Wondering if it's just momentum or they got a new PR firm or what.

Definitely, think streamers/Youtubers are the best marketing way you can do nowadays, fans of person will buy anything the person likes or plays.
Would make sense, nevertheless good to see Hollow Knight getting some love, looking forward to playing it myself too.

Good for Hollow Knight, it deserves more love.
examples?

Forgot that you can't speak to your party in the first Balder's Gate and there is no party banter. So quiet.

Paradox.
Depending on where you live this kind of activity may actually be illegal. Not sure about SEA, but I believe that raising prices and then discounting to the previously lowered price is considered false advertising in the US.
Might be worth raising a stink about online as much as you can if it is illegal in your area. Companies do this all the time though and it seems are never punished for it. =/

Gross. Why does Valve let this happen? It's abusive behaviour.
I'd like to think it's illegal, too...

Wow, fuck 'em. Someone open threads on those games forums.
Yeah, price changes aren't applied automatically but rather have to be submitted to Valve for processing, so it should really crack down on this sort of thing.
Illegal within the EU at least, I think. I remember people commenting on it when Amazon sellers were caught doing something similar.

Fuck them. Fuck you Paradox.
I bet they're going for 75% off which is actually the same thing as their usual 50-60% off. They're thinking that we're all a bunch of stupid shit.

The worst part is, I've probably fallen for it before and never realised it.
Does Enhanced Steam have a previous price feature, if it's even possible? I could see a lot of use for that in these scummy times.
e.g.
Buy Game $59.99
[Previously $49.99 until 05.17.2017]

The dream will be complete when I see Soul Calibur, Fate/Stay Night, Darkstalkers, PowerStone and Virtua Fighter (other than part 2)
:O!

I just noticed that the activity page properly parses markup tags in descriptions now. No more bare bold tags.

I'm excited. New party based isometric RPG written by Chris Avellon? Sign me up.

I wonder if Steam has a contender for best ass.

Valve likes to do everything manually for some odd reason, even though that is highly inefficient for Steam's size.

Ass is chronically underrepresented on Steam.
Thankfully Nintendo is trying to pick up the slack.

Senko no Ronde 2 store page is up. Release date is set to September 6. I think the store page has the first screens from the game as well.

The Surge is really fun, it has a speed to it that the Dark Souls games don't quite have. Not sure if it's just the EXO suit that I have but I can do some dope slide attacks and just really get around quick.
Oh, I know how to cap the framerate, I am just annoyed that I have to go for lower motion clarity due to 'lazy devs'.
Have been enjoying The Surge. Not a big fan of Sci-fi art, but i like the combat and pacing. The dual weapon from the second boss is so far my favorite. Combos looks amazing.

Happy birthday
Why do some games not work with the Xbox One controller right stick? Trying to play Dead Space on my TV and yeah it didn't end well with no camera control.
The fuck Paradox? Apparently having shitload of DLC isn't enough for them.
Did you check the controller configuration in steam overlay? Your right stick might have defaulted to mouse emulation. If it did, just load the default gamepad template and overwrite it.
That's certainly one contradictory way to put it.

Very convenient timing with that excuse. I don't buy it anyway since prices are all raised in every territory except US, so both "match the purchasing power" and "a more equal price point" excuses don't make any sense.

So I totally forgot that Stay! Stay! Democratic People's Republic of Korea! was coming out (if at all) or a thing but it sure did. Bought it out of curiosity and as a joke but after 40 minutes I think this will be the first VN I finish lol.
I have the utmost respect for Paradox, or at least I had till this point, but that reads like complete bullshit.
All but a very very few countries in the world have lost purchasing power in these last years so increasing the base price for their products because "adjusting to currency fluctuation" is complete nonsense and a blatant lie.

Sorry, we cannot exploit commodity changes because we will always settle on the basic accounting rule of home-based currency, instead of balancing out those equations on Excel, or whatever accountants use.
Ask, my older brother. I'm more into bio-med.
It's only illegal if you it right before sale.
Valve requires 30 days for price increase before sale, so I suppose that's considered enough for it to be technically legal.
Yeah, I have my doubts that Russia has magically doubled it's purchasing power.
Wonder what their excuse will be if they reduce prices after the sale.
"We found that purchasing power of countries seems to be higher in the period before and during major Steam sales."
