I buy most of my PC games from CDKeys and haven't had a single problem, and their support is REALLY fast too if you want a refund for pre-order etc.
Their Facebook page has additional 5% coupon, just enter random email and you get it.

IO Interactive goes fully independent and owns the Hitman IP going forward

Well, the link wasn't filtered away, and people have been linking to cdkeys from time to time. So I guess it's somewhat legit
Great! Hitman lives on!
So... Where are they getting the money? Making something as polished as Hitman needs a lot of cash, they ain't getting that going independent.
Probably from sidejobs or from sales of the Hitman series games

Prey will definitely (most likely (probably)) hit $25 USD over the sale, somewhere.
But it absolutely (most likely (probably)) will not hit that for Prey + DLC.

Yeah this is what I'm wondering cos from the statement it sounds that they've had to buy themselves out from under SE too, which I can't imagine is cheap obv.

Is this just the preorder DLC? (pointless weapon skin ect.) or is there real DLC for prey?

One of the few rare exceptions; were there any others thjough?
CDKeys' the cheapest you'd get for a while.
If you want to play it now or soon, get it for that price.
Well I can't even if I want to buy it from CDKEYS. The cart doesn't work.

It's working here.
try incognito mode, maybe some addon is conflicting with cdkeys
Wow, I am so happy about this. It's unfortunate Square Enix wouldn't stand behind them but this is the second best outcome since nobody else picked them up. IO Interactive is the only high profile developer my country has.

Yeah, thanks, incognito works, but do I have to be logged in to check if the FB 5% coupon works? Cause so far it doesn't work.
Have you tried to login to FB in incognito mode?
If Incognito mode works, then it is an addon that is conflicting. How about turn off adblocker?
Yes.
Edit: The cart works in Edge (no incognnito), but the coupon doesn't, just says it's invalid.
Edit 2: I actually had to be logged in to use the coupon.

I hope they can keep developing games. The last Hitman while not the kind of game I enjoy appears to be a really good game.
Oh yeah right! I think it's in the start when there's a group of people around you and they are faceless, maybe that's what I was thinking about. So no problems.
This is good to hear. I got it on Steam but I take it that is the Uplay version and it'll start up uplay automatically.

Their website acts odd. Try buying via Opera or another browser.
In my case it tries to load verified by visa link to finalize the payment but then the website hangs.
Yeah, got it to work in incognito in Chrome and in Edge (no incognito). The FP coupon can only be used when logged in, got it down to 208 NOK. Costs 500 NOK on Steam.

Battle Brothers 1.1 is out. Might be time to head back to my shoddily dressed one-eyed band of maniacs.

I'm done with Dawn of War 3, and when i clicked to uninstall game through Steam it suddenly redirected to this survey:
Huh, i didn't know you can do that, add redirect after uninstall to Steam games.

steam, making no sense since 2013?
when actually suggestions started appearing on steam?
They need to release Grimrock for Dummies so I don't have to deal with puzzles but can still enjoy everything else about that great dungeon crawler.

Continuing from the previous post on this I've downloaded the earlier version of MGSV but having difficulties fixing the following error from the game after launch:
Tried deleting the existing save files/user settings directory, which created a new one on launch and the same message. Also tried editing the appmanifest file to match the exact same build ID and manifest ID as the one I downloaded, but it displays the same message and after exiting it reverts the changes back to match the previous version of the game I had installed (despite having moved those files).
Edit: additionally adjusted the LastUpdated timestamp to the correct steamdb date for that version using the appropriate Unix timestamp format. Also tried old backup saves I had from the same game version. Still the same result.
So it seems the Steam client is communicating with the game and telling it something outside of what I'm doing perhaps? I'm launching via the game's own executable though. Any ideas?
Update: found what was causing the problem, thankfully.
Code:
Save data version and game version are different.
Sign in to Steam and download the latest game version.

I wonder how this will affect Hitmon 2017 though, SE still has rights to that game publishing?

No clue. The product description would lead me to believe it's probably just the shitty preorder stuff.
I think they've said on record that they are definitely going to do DLC for the game.
But who knows. They're probably hard at work at the 6th, 7th and 8th remaster-repackage-resell Skyrim.

So I am completing all badges that cost $0.15 cents or less to complete based on what I have in my inventory to collect summer badges. I am guessing I should wait before crafting summer badge though right? I forget what they give us and the sale hasnt started.
Idk Dies Irae looks somewhat accurate at least

Well, if they want to continue making games like the latest Hitman, there's a big chance that they have to jump into bed with another publisher soon.

On the subject of preventing old versions of games from auto-updating, found that manually editing the StateFlags value to 4 in the corresponding appmanifest file tells Steam that a game is fully up-to-date. See full list of values here.
No more worrying that a particular game will be automatically updated (when launching via the executable rather than Steam itself, mind). I'll see how this plays out in practice. Edit: doesn't detect updates when launched. Nice.

Changing the value of the flag is actually unnecessary, in part because it'll just be updated when Steam refreshes the apps in your library, which it does every five minutes, and does detect an update. Primarily, though, while setting a game to only update when launched will result in the client reporting "Update required" when a patch has been detected, launching the executable outside of Steam won't trigger the download, regardless of whether it's tethered to the client. Setting the manifest file to read-only would probably stop Steam from changing the value, but, again, there's no need to do so.
Fantasy General is free on GOG for the next 48 hour.

Been half an hour and a couple restarts of the Steam client while in online mode and it hasn't detected an update, nor has the value changed. *Shrug* Guess I'll see over the course of the week.
The reason for changing the value is so it's not in my to-be-downloaded section, ready to be accidentally queued for downloading. Should this be effective it's a great little tweak.
If the information in the manifest file is current, then, yeah, Steam won't detect an update because it's being fooled into thinking the old game data is up-to-date (it doesn't examine the actual game data unless you opt to verify the cache). It'd detect a new update, though.

The appmanifest details (last updated date/build id/manifest id) are from 2015, so they're rather old actually.
