Yeah. Most people get that, or at least I do anyways. But if you are gonna sell people the project on the promise of a Steam / GoG key then you should deliver that if the game ships. After all, the backers held up their end of the bargain when they paid upfront.
I don't know why some devs / pubs think they are special. Other stores / industries / products get raked over the coals for being asshole-ish all of the time. And yeah, I get that it's not a contract, but you have to take care of the people that are supporting you.
When this EGS mess started I thought for sure that previous crowdfunding stuff would always be honored. Because who would treat their backers like this? But here we are with devs trying to get cute. It's insane.

Supraland is good. My gripes with it at the moment are the combat with the little skeleton guys, it just annoys me. Also some of the platforming can be a bit frustrating but that seems to be the case with all first person platforming. I do really like the puzzles and working out areas and the general theme/presentation.
Overall its so far definitely worth the £15ish that it cost. (about 5hours in).

How do i sign up to see their catalogue?

It seems that they have Fortnite.
It is pretty much a clone of the Steam store.
They even have user reviews!

How would you even track people reliably who don't really need offline play and wouldn't have used offline play but choose to not buy an always online single player game? I know i'm in that group but that number is probably a lot smaller even than the serious "Denuvo = no buy" crowd and that didn't have much of an effect on Ubisoft.
Outside of some new shitshow beating the sim city launch that turns "we have offline mode" into good marketing i expect the big publishers to abandon offline play completely sooner or later.
One of the biggest non-mechanical flaws.
If they would have just added fast travel points (so you could skip the Underworks), it would have made the later portions so much better. IIRC, you can run past at least some of the encounters. Going back to Noctis isn't a big deal, but it's a slog every time you have to go back to Ophir (luckily, the amount of side content drops off after the second chapter, so you don't have to go back and forth quite so much in the third).
They have said that it's a criticism they've taken into account for their next game.
I didn't feel like trying out Technomancer because it looked like the exact same fucking game with a different skin as Bound by Flame, and I kinda disliked that. Seems like it has similar issues.
Here's hoping Spiders' next game is better
Appealing to the lowest common denominator. It seems their marketing department has been living in a graphics card add from 1997 and theyre going all in on the approach
I'm not sure what is wrong with that Forbes article. I must be missing something because just going by the title I agree with it.
I honestly didn't know that Rage 2 was coming this week and I'm fairly interested in picking it up. I feel like Bethesda has been bad at this kind of stuff for awhile now.

I dunno if they still do but kids used to say they'd owned you/pwned you, hes probably using it in regards to that
I have learnt that Discord has a "discovery feature" (the magnifier glass), which lets you find popular games.
Apparently, there is a big community on Discord for Spellbreak and Satisfactory.
Thanks. It makes more sense.

"Epic own" as in "epic pwn", as in, "indeed, what a great joke that was".
Are those numbers for that game only or it shows how many players on that server are in game no matter what game it is?
The second option.
I believe the game's in an invite-only Alpha right now?
It says "online", so I would say that it is the number of people currently connected to the Discord channel.
I don't understand how Spellbreak can be so close to Fortnite, and have numbers much higher than the other games.
It just a month behind the console version. Arch Tempered Nergigante was released yesterday on console while PC will got it in June 6th.
I hope that Winter is their another worst estimation because MHW was originally announced for Fall but then got released earlier in August.
Getting a thread on ResetEra with a bunch of people going "Oh, I didn't know Rage 2 was out in 4 days!"
MUA3 looks fun despite the underwhelming visuals; hope it comes to PC eventually (Nintendo has no copyright on the game, so it's at least possible that it's just a timed exclusive)
You have no idea how much I want a Raikou mod, only Raikou mod I know of is a Civ 6 one unluckily

Not only did I learn that the game was out in 4 days, I have also learnt that it was not an exclusive title on the Epic Games store...
For sure, that is a very cheap yet very successful move to create some buzz about this game.
I can understand why there are legitimate reasons to do it, but it feels like people disabling comments on Steam reviews is just a way to shit everything up, and as a consumer it's frustrating. Example, for Pathfinder: Kingmaker
Comments disabled means developer can't respond, and just as importantly, I can't ask: "Why have you posted all these bloody feelings with no actual criticism of the game? How/Why is it a scam? How/Why is it unplayable?"
What a bloody waste of space review. Masturbatory garbage that helps neither developer nor consumer.
No, Steam, no this review was "Not Helpful".

I think I played this a little too much, but at least I got my money's worth :) Can't wait till part 2 comes out!
Steam's Guides are so good. I look at the guides every time I start up a new game and am always disappointed that they aren't there when I'm playing a non-steam game.
I usually enable comments on my reviews. The only time I've ever deliberately disabled them is when I called out the transphobia in Catherine and I got an incredulous response. There's no value in engaging with people like those.
All Ubisoft games going forward pretty much. I usually get the Uplay codes anyways, but having less options always sucks.
Yeah, pro-LGBTQ views are what I was thinking of when I said there were legitimate reasons for doing it. No reason to open yourself up to bigots who are trying to stop progress just for the sake of a Steam review.
And the fights are always at the very same place. It's kind of annoying later one when you need gather allies. It's fun at a deep discount but heavily flawed.
Is there a reason why SEGA of EU does not seem to include Japanese in their games? I think even VC4 did not have Japanese text but was later added back into the game. You can buy SEGA EU games in Japan, but you can't seem to buy a number of SEGA Japanese titles in Japan.
Also what does SEGA NA do? Do they now just mostly work with ATLUS USA and localize titles and publish stuff?

I'm guessing friction with the Japanese writers and voice actors, or something like that. I remember when Skullgirls had a Japanese version made with assistance from Arc System Works, that ASW owned the translation there and Lab Zero needed to purchase the rights to use it in other regions.
I spent more time today thinking about what should I play next than actually playing.
Yeah! No more alt tabbing!
