    Finally gonna pull the trigger on the dead space remake.

    Also waiting for The Last of Us Part 1, Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Raganarok to go below $25 because I still have a handful of other games to finish and start.

      Yeah, I have a pretty good list of Sony games I’m just waiting on better sales on.

      Like the first Spiderman should really be selling for cheaper now that both Miles and 2 are out.

      The sales were way better maybe like 10 years or so ago, but when they ended the “flash sales” to instead guarantee that the sale price of a game won’t change during the sale, they also kind of neutered the sales imo. They’re still alright, but they used to be consistently better.

      I get why they ended the flash sales, and I’m not even sure if it’s related or just a separate choice that they made at the same time.

      Fortunately, price info is actually tracked! If you use the SteamDB browser extension you can see the historical low price right on a game’s product page on Steam.

      For example, Terraria is on sale for it’s 2 year low price of $4.99, but the lowest it’s ever been is $1.99 (a little over ten years ago).

    Not enough college financial aid left for me to be able to, otherwise I’d have to look at my wishlist and see what’s available for a good price.

    I’ve been eyeing Signals, Children of the Sun, Jusant, and Weird West for some time now. Maybe Floppy Knights and FAR Changing Tides too

      They gave away Weird West on Epic a while ago. I checked it on Game Pass and had to quit it. The atmosphere is very good and overall looks interesting but the controls were awful for me to get used to. If you are going to get it I recommend checking it before the return window expires, just in case.

        Thanks for the heads up! I’m a fan of the people behind it and follow the development closely so I’m kind of biased and know what I’m getting into haha

    Probably Zomboid, been eyeing it for a while. And maybe Heavy Rain, at €2 it’s very tempting.

    I’ve stopped buying from Steam on account of their country threatening to annex mine. GOG is looking good though.

        If you already have these things, you make no stance by throwing them away.

        It’s never too late to start change.

        In case you’re wondering, the correct response was:

        I’m sorry. My country is overrun with fascists and Nazis and I’m horrified by the threats to your nation’s sovereignty that manchild of a president is making. He does not speak for me, and I appreciate that you would decide not to spend money in a country that’s actively threatening your family.

        You know, for the next time you feel the urge to defend a government that demonstrably doesn’t care about you or anyone else.

    Aestik it’s been on my wishlist for awhile and I don’t see a reason not to pick it up at the current sale price.

      Unfortunately Gog can’t get off their ass and make a Linux library launcher/updater.

      Meanwhile Valve maintains my library, uses my OS of choice in a flagship product, and improves my gaming experience.

      Steam manages all my saves and shares my library with my family.

      What has gog done again? DRM free? Not so useful if I can’t play it all. Yes I could use a third party launcher but at that point why bother.

      I would like to support Gog I have an account there. But they don’t want to support me.

      So Steam it is.

        Indeed. I exclusively used gog for many years and have since given up. Steam is so much better and actually makes Linux a platform to play on.
