The Super Turbo Championship Edition is more recent/better than the Gold Edition, right? I got the Gold edition in a bundle a while back, but I never beat it. I'd probably want to start over, and I may as well go with the "upgraded" one.

Yeah, this edition has a fair amount of new Stuff (big area with new boss-fight and some new enemies being the most noteworthy).

How come? It's got more functionality than the Twitch and Epic launchers and seems to be reliable.

uplay isn't up to steam standards, but it's much better than it was a couple years now.

They keep on improving it gradually. It's just that its never really lost the stigma it had almost a decade ago when it was actually bad.

Which is really dumb because I clearly remember Steam being much worse than Uplay ever was, way back in the day.

Maybe this thread needs splitting into two: one thread for announcements, the other for discussion.

Please don't make such posts. They're part of the problem. Maybe link some free games.

The gently caress. This thread has had 22 pages in its three years of existence. It's not exactly being overwhelmed by off-topic discussion.

Personally I don't mind the discussion happening in the same thread. Splitting the thread is what I've seen done on other forums, so you can set it so you get no notifications unless there's actually content. It's not the thread size that's the problem. It's getting baited by a notification and finding no free games linked.

The thread title is free games. Not Free games and discussion. :colbert:

What happens if you have a discussion thread is either it doesn't get used and eventually discussion happens in Thai thread, or newcomers see the discussion thread, and post new free games in there instead, and all of a sudden you have one thread again.

If would be different if the overall forums were less busy, or if this thread was more busy, but as it stands there's no great need imo for a separate discussion thread.

All I care in this thread is free game announcement and discussion of whether the game is worth playing or not. A few have pointed out that some game aren’t worth playing even when it’s free.

These free game are often lesser known and I would appreciate knowing something about it without the need to visit another thread to ask about it.

I think we need three threads: one for new game announcements, one for discussion about platforms, and one to discuss whether there should be multiple threads about announcements and discussions about platforms or not.

I'd appreciate your opinion, but considering this is literally your only post in the thread, as far as I'm concerned you can gently caress right off again.

I mean, you cannot get Sims 4 without origin. It's not on steam.

I had to claim this via their website because I could only gift it to someone else through Origin. So if anyone else is having similar trouble, try that I guess.

yeah idk how common knowledge that is so i decided to say it now rather than make someone wait on their website, which is always slow as gently caress

Origin's come a hell of a long way from it's launch and other than it's patching process inexplicably taking twice as long as on Steam, it's perfectly fine IMO.

That's fair.

Speaking of not-steams, if you boot up Uplay and claim Steep you can have it for free. Apparently the offer ends today so go get on that.

It not my favorite but their perfectly fine and let me merge accounts when my email was tied up from the free under ten dollar games glitch a few years ago. Plus Apex fun to play there.

If you get this, you might as well grab the Holiday Celebration Pack, since it's free, too.

of note, this actually worked to let me get Sims 4 in Origin without that weird 'buy as gift' bug - just try to redeem the holiday pack, it will pop up a prompt saying you need the base Sims 4 game, and you can click the buy for 0.00 button there, works just fine

Adding it to my wishlist and then buying from my wishlist allowed me to add it to my own library rather than only allowing me to purchase it as a gift.
