Steam no longer allows you to refund stuff you bought more than two weeks ago, right?

2 weeks / 2 hours is just the limit for automatic no-questions-asked refunds, you can still ask for a refund on anything and some minimum wage callcenter employee will read your explanation and decide to approve/deny
they are pretty lenient still afaik

Throwing tactics into a game's title makes people assume that the game is a turn based RPG on a grid which is why I was always so disappointed in the game.

thank you, that's what i needed to know. i'm looking for turn based RPGs on a grid. you can't just throw "tactics" in the title! it's not a meaningless word like "iron," "souls," "song," or "II."

Fallout Tactics kinda is a turn based grid game as it uses the same kind of grids Fallout 1 and 2 use. You can switch from Continuous Turn Based (real time so long as you have action points) to either Individual Turn Based (turns happen as per each characters initiative stat) or Squad Turn Based (your squad and enemies alternate between turns).

Yes, it was one of the worst video game naming trends before the release of Triangle Strategy.

Encased is not muc better BTW, it's official name on Steam is Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG. Which is kind of a spoiler from a certain point of view.

Anyway, I got Death Stranding on PS4 a year or two ago and got like a bit into it, but if this is the Director's Cut update, I don't see a reason why I shouldn't trade up.

And because I already bought the game before, I can play it.

“Triangle Strategy” is mostly just an unfortunate translation of the concept of a conflict with multiple sides.

Should have been “Threesome Tactics”, much better

I doubt it'll be the Director's Cut, the free games tend to be the base versions if the game is recent and they could convince you to upgrade. Hoping to be proven wrong as I have the base game already!

Doesn't even the base PC version still have some improvements from the PS4 version?

the base PC version has some portal/half-life/cyberpunk crossover content that was never patched into the PS4 version yeah (PS5 directors cut does have it)

Their shape and the way they're splayed out look like the Q-pid, which is pretty central to the game's plot. Plus Death Stranding 2, the world's second strand-type game, got announced at the VGAs so it's a good time to drop the world's first strand-type game (Death Stranding 1) for free.

Considering the Director's Cut is the only one that comes up when I search for it in the store, that's probably it.

that's not a given, IIRC when they gave away Control they did the base edition even though the complete edition was the only version you could buy at that point

that was 505 Games too, who also publish Death Stranding on PC

The base version is the one that popped up on gamepass a few months ago out of the blue so it is probably that
