Green man gaming had a deal last month for 20? Percent off of anything with a code (I don't remember) that I got from coupons so I got F4 for around 45$. The moral of this story is that more goons should lurk in coupons.

Does getting a season pass on Steam mean I get all the future DLC or just some of them?

Varies by company. Usually it means you get all the major DLC. Some people like Gearbox will say "Season Pass but also here's some new content that's not in there".

Bethesda hasn't done a Season Pass before I think but they always include everything in a Game of the Year edition so I'd lean more towards "you get everything".

Yeah I got the game and the season pass because I'm a sucker from GMG for ~24% off via coupons. Not sure about CDKeys but GMG has never hosed me around. Other than I've never been able to preload a game I purchased there but who cares.

They usually release the keys the day of release from my experience, so no time to preload.

You used to be able to manually preload it though.

I bought a key from greenmangaming because they had that 20% off offer so I paid £40 (it was £50 on Steam) but now it's £40 on Steam so all I did was pay earlier and have less of a chance of being able to preload.
Don't pre-order. I'm a hypocrite/idiot.

Well, they've improved body animations a bit, but holy poo poo look at her face. It's like the only part of it that moves is her mouth and it doesn't even do that right.

I mean, look at The Witcher 3. The characters in that don't look like their face is a poorly made rubber animatronic from the 80's when they're talking.

I don't know what crack you're smoking but the animations and poo poo are awful in Witcher too, almost everything about that game is clunky and unpolished.

I am almost certain that CD Projekt does get funding from the Polish Government. Their Prime minister even gave President Obama a copy of the witcher 2. He never played it.

If you don't think Obama and Michelle secretly play ps4 and smoke weed in the white house basement late at night then I just don't know what to tell you.

They have to be sneaky or the chief of staff will wake up and send them to bed after a good scolding.

I believe it has more to do with a normal, low stress workweek and making a more than livable wage even for interns. Almost like American labor laws are garbage.

Are you seriously suggesting that a Polish developer is making money hand over fist while American programmers are working for minimum wage? How removed from reality do you have to be to think that Eastern European tech employees are better off than their American counterparts? Or that interns are treated with respect in these countries? (I actually live in Eastern Europe)
