Those are all valid reasons, but do they offset the lost sales from not having the game on Steam? Steam is a store, the Blizzard client is a client. To compare, EA thought they were on to a winner with their move away from Steam, and whilst it probably hasn't hurt them as much as we think, it'll still have lost them some sales. I think doing what Rocket League has done in China is maybe the best possible move in something like this? Sell a game on Steam, get a following, then move that following onto a different platform.

GAF is weird - like even using a seemingly innocent adjective would cause fanboys to come at you and lecture you about technicality lol
lmao what a scum
glad I'm not getting most of their newer games

Convince me to get an higher tier than the first because the only thing interesting me is Deadly Premonition. How are Poncho and Miss take?
I can recommend it.
It reminds me of Papers Please, thematically. Has a drop-dead gorgeous presentation.
Be warned though, it's pretty dark. Like really dark.

Buncha games there on my wishlist, bought at the second tier. Heard very good things about Lumini.

Showing her how far gaming has come along.
The MMO Black Desert Online is coming to Steam in a week.
I was under the impression that conference would have console and PCs available to play Destiny.

They're letting people play the PC version, but it seems they want the spotlight on the PS4 version.
I'm on the same boat. Anything recommendable on tier 2?

Dude...

Nice. Maybe I'll try it out at some point.
Maybe they are pushing hi-res assets for the new client.
It's B2P 😬😬😬😬😬😬
I did just watch a review on the game and it looks interesting. Action combat with combo system instead of endlessly clicking a hotbar and some sandbox elements in trade, crafting, and housing.
I don't know how long this has been implemented, so it may be old and I'm only just realizing it. Icons used to be ubiquitously tiny 32x32 pixels.

I just want it for the character editor if I'm honest, the free demo was great.

Chrono.gg heads up.
Let's see if they're interesting games, I have +8k coins laying around.

Guys I am having some weird problems with Steam. Two days or so ago when I would try to download games it would start at 30Mb/s and then drop to around 450kb/s. I checked my ports, changed download region, restarted my modem, cleared download cache, but nothing seems to be working.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? Regular downloads through the browser work just fine. Downloads through FTP and P2P work just fine too. It's only downloads through the Steam client that are slow as hell.

Just flipped and hit 60 days. I got 3 games, so I only have 3.9k. Looks like I'll have enough for either of these they're getting ready to drop though.
Something with good English translation will do:
Already played Trails FC. And as amazing as Fata Morgana is supposed to be. The artstyle is appalling to me.

At least one hundred percent.
No, it's just a silly "rumor". Maybe I should be more clear on the internet.
WTF the artstyle is the best part
Ok it's behind the story
...ok it's also behind the music
But it's really good
Go play Trails SC and then 3rd if you haven't
man fata morgana still has no negative reviews, slay
