Just a tip, it seems there was a bug in steam when adding the new library where it added some F2P games to libraries, you can remove them for easily by right click -> remove game. Otherwise, it shouldnt show you updates of f2p games unless you have them installed / in your library.I was asking for much less
Havent found a way yet.
The last hope of
Aaaaand apparently they're raising regional prices on EGS.

was it really "EGS fans" saying that?
surprised they're taking preorders on Steam, but I guess that probably does rule out EGS exclusivity
I would say it was people like me with pessimistic but realistic view on things that were calling for likely EGS exclusivity. I wonder (hope?) if Control didn't do quite as well as expected or maybe Epic just isn't throwing quite as much money around as previously. Or they are waiting for closer to release and try to go for it at that point but now that it's available for pre-purchase on Steam, that threat should be mostly gone.
Anyway, happy to see the game available both on Steam as well as EGS.
I always thought EGS exclusivity was unlikely since Kojima seems to be a very big Valve fan and maybe friends with Gabe Newell though I guess it did depend on how much control he had and how much control the publisher had over what store it ended up on.
So I finished The Norwood Suite yesterday, and it was really weird and fun. Great music, the level is so random full of secrets. Saw the guys next game is out Q1 2020 so wish listed that straight away.
Have you tried Off-Peak? It's a free game by the same devs, similar style.
Off-Peak on Steam
You're stranded at a cathedral-like train station in the near future, searching for a ticket out of town. Explore the secret passageways, interact with strangers, dig for records, and get hypnotized by the soundtrack – a batch of original music courtesy of the band, Archie Pelago.
I just saw that as well and was wondering if they put out a huge patch at some point
im still a bit confused by this. Their video is weird, almost promoting classic more then choice. How many games will you choose and how big will the pool be? Will there be games in classic that are not in choice?
there will be 10 games in your average humble choice and if you have humble classic you will get to choose 10 games.
some months may have more games in which even the classic will only get 10 picks, but in general there will be 10 games per month.
if you aren't enrolled in classic (which you do by subbing to this month and staying subbed without cancelling) then it will be $15 for a choice of 3 games of the 10 or $20 for a choice of 9 of the 10.
Oh, that makes sense, thanks. They shouldn't have called it classic, they should have called it "choice premier" or something because it makes it sound like there is no change at all.
it's called classic to likely imply that you have to be involved with the older humble bundles. and in general most months it will not really be a change you just get 10 games instead of a variable amount :P
There will not be much of a change for Classic subs except we will now get 10 games every month and nothing will be hidden. Classic won't be available to new subscribers or if you unsub at any point.
The actual Choice Premium lets you choose 9 games and is more expensive which is why they say "hey get on this deal and never unsub!"
(note, I have not seen any video about Choice so I only know about it all from the email and site)
More like 2014 is weird :D
I really hope people that have missed/skipped the game give it a chance. The true ending is well worth experiencing.
I do this for all games in the news section until the "show less from this game" option is exhausted but some games still show updates, unfortunately it doesn't stop them completely from showing updates but it does indeed show significantly less of them.
Some "News" do indeed advertise games that you don't own or dlc unfortunately, and besides games in your library are competing for your attention for various reasons.
Sounds like work that will never end.
Removing games to remove that section is like burning down the house to get rid of roaches. And f2p stuff can be added via script 5000 at a time. Seriously it's my library and I should be able to freely choose what is displayed there. Unless the goal here is invasive aggressive advertisement, people didn't like egs in game ads lol - this is very similar.

Yeah, thanks. I actually played this before Norwood. Definitely worth checking out to give you a small insight to what Norwood is like, plus it's free.
Regarding Humble Choice, "classic" subscribers get to choose 10 games out of 10.
Same. It seems that Echo/OG is the name of the package.
Usually, the main package has the same name as the app. For instance, for Dead Cells:

I mean, I quite agree with it, I do understand DLC or sequels (as it can be more content for a game you liked), but not when they try and advertise other games from the dev. I also would like if it had more easily customizable and understandable levels what does "less/more like this" actually mean?
I mean, if you didnt play those f2p games and were added by a glitch to your library, there is no problem to remove them, as it would also help to clean your library. If you decide to run a script to add 5000 f2p at a time it is your issue of making your library harder to use (similar to when you add too many bundle games you never intend to play).
There is also a big gap in "invasive aggressive advertisement" when this is just THE SAME CONTENT THAT ALREADY APPEARED IN EACH INDIVIDUAL GAME PAGE IN THE LIBRARY but streamlined so that you can see more than the 2-3 games you normally play (and push you to... you know play other games you own?). On the other hand, you have egs having prompts to buy a game (not something you already own getting an update you might be interested on which is very likely not paid), in any possible occassion (which the best equivalent in Steam would be the optional but toggled by default window when you start Steam).
That's great news. Credit to Valve for listening and acting so quickly.
Synthetik Is pretty good and exactly the kind of game i'm into these days, that Raptor boss though...
I would like to see upcoming games from devs i like even if they aren't sequels but only if the section had a lot more options. I don't like the prominent position it has and those vague show more less levels. I want to show only specific games and devs not the hundreds of games and devs in my library.

I believe Journey to the Savage Planet s also starting out as EGS exclusive.
Valve is working on that currently as an email form (with Cyberpunk being the first example of that), but it seems they are slow at that :P
I think only showing specific games would defeat the point of the system of... actually realizing some games you havent played in a while got a major update, as they would never be on your "approved" list.
....if you did that then you clearly made a choice regarding what you want to see in your library.
I think there are a lot of options that could handle that but it would obviously require more work. The default behavior could be the current system and a more customizable version enabled in the options with various filter. I think forcing people to watch news from hundreds of games that they may have no interest in is very likely to make them never pay any attention to the section.
I am about 20 hours into Disco, and I can't get over how special of a game it is. Man I love it so much.
I'm very curious how many games and daily news people who don't like the news section have. The ones who think that this thing is a hassle.
I have around 630 non-hidden games and I get 0-5 updates per day in general. I'm actually a little sad that it's not more! I have never used show less either so I'm very interested in how people get so many news posts.

Maybe.... if it is the part I am thinking of IT'S SO HARDCORE.
The whole church/club/silence/Computer Programmers subquest stuff is so damn good.
Do I dare?
I've already bought two full price games fairly recently but its extremely rare for the Atelier games to go on sale.
EDIT: Also does anyone know if they updated these games to actually be playable above 1080p?

It also depends on what games you have in your library, some gaas/f2p games spam the news section.
