Steep is a good game that kinda got hosed by a sponsored person outright dying doing snow sports "Free" is a great price for it, it's a great ~10 hour playtime or more if you're into it kind of game. Kingdom: New Lands? Not worth the time. At least from my experience there's just always something you're frustrated by. And once invaders start showing up it only gets worse as you lose villagers/defenders which cost money to replace but they're also the source of income so you're hosed both ways.

Steep's great, go swish down some mountains. You can do events or make your own up or just chill around the place and find some spooky abandoned hotels. They're always running events and doing content updates too

Even using that strategy though the game is a loving slog and I very quickly lost my patience for it.

Barry Convex posted:had them both on Steam for a while, but Darksiders I and II for free is a pretty great giveaway. Darksiders 3 goes back to a style closer to 1, but with methodical Dark Souls style combat where you can only dodge, not block, and you die really quickly if you get hit. It's actually quite good and has some cool bits in it.

isthereanydeal.com keeps listing Conan Exiles as being free but it always leads to the loving dev kit. Its got me like 3 times now over the past few months. https://isthereanydeal.com/game/conanexiles/info/ E: as far as I can tell they don't even sell Conan on EGS OgNar fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Jan 6, 2020 |

Well I now own Darksiders Warmastered and Deathfinitive on on PS4, Steam and EGS. Not to mention my Steam copies of the original builds. THQ Nordic loving loves handing out copies of Darksiders 1 and 2. Other than the $20 I spent to get the original builds years ago I have not paid for any of the remastered ones.

For some reason, I can't bring myself to have a game on multiple platforms, even if one of them is later offered for free. Must be PTSD from when I accidentally bought a game on GOG that I already owned on Steam.

Must be PTSD from when I accidentally bought a game on GOG that I already owned on Steam. I've definitely avoided freebies if I owned the game on Steam before, but at some point I just stopped giving a poo poo. I own Jotun: Valhalla Edition 4 times now, will probably never play it and that's great. I wasted so much money as a kid on full price 8-bit games, I feel like I've deserved all these free games as an adult. I love how these days I am spending way less money on entertainment and yet get way more content to choose from. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Jan 6, 2020 |

Does the developer get money based on how many people download it, or just a lump sum up front? If it's the latter, than it doesn't matter whether you grab it or not.

A good poster posted:Does the developer get money based on how many people download it, or just a lump sum up front? If it's the latter, than it doesn't matter whether you grab it or not. Depends on the service I believe, I'm pretty sure Playstation Plus works on how many people add the game to their library but I remember Epic saying they paid upfront based on expected lost sales.

VVVVVV is now source-available. Not that most people probably care, but I don't know if it really qualifies as open source. Assets are not included but the license directs you to snag them from the Make and Play version if you want to build from source.

Pretty sure that's the idea right? Get enough people onto the platform and then you can start just using it like a normal marketplace. Not a single one of my friends has made the jump though, so i wonder if its really working for them. Everyone just grabs the games they want, play through it, uninstall it and continues buying games from stream, with people willing to wait out the exclusivity deals. Can't fault epic for trying, though.

There was a theory when they launched the thing that their main userbase would be kids who play Fortnite and weren't already invested in Steam. Don't know how well that works if you're not getting them used to buying games because there's something free every week though. But also I have no stake in Epic doing financially well so I don't care either way.

It does, not quite as structured as N&B but I spent about 30 hours in it regardless. Make machines to explore a large landmass across several islands and use your wacky machines to transport parts for use on future creations. It also has a racing mode, four sandbox maps and extremely well implemented multiplayer. As someone who also adored N&B it very much scratches that itch
