Sometimes it can get bugged. Just close the process and open it again. Thats how it worked out for me last time.

Told me he has restarted it a couple of times. Maybe later when the servers can breathe it will work...

If I didn't like the first game, I suppose this one won't change my mind, right?
Imo the best part in those two games were the DLCs where you play as the elves, Celebrimbor and Eltariel. They both have a unique playstyle compared to the main games and their stories don't drag much.

Anyone else not able to launch either DX11/12.exe of Control after the photo update through Steam? Never seen this before - it was working fine. Now it shuts down right before the main menu saying I have to launch it through EGS?

That Fanatical sale has some really good deals. Almost feels like the old days when Steam sales were exciting. Tempted to jump on Blasphemous for 35% off.

Have you tried launching through the regular Control.exe that gives you the option between the 2 APIs?

Actually these discount prices aren't all that impressive since for the most part they match prior discounts these games had, and likely will have in the future.
Like South Park Fbw was $6 between Aug 19 to Sep. 19th at least on a few sites

Soul Calibur 6 has been sub $20 before as well, and will be sub $20 in the near future I suspect

So yeah, unless you plan on playing some of these now or soon, best to double check the discount they got first, then grab then if you plan on playing them now or soon.

EDIT: Oh and Blasphemous has been sub $20 for Steam ver. for a while now; while Fanatical is offering it for $16 during this flash sale, a few sites are offering it for a little under $20

Expect to see this exact same discount in the next couple of months at least.

Trine 3-

IMO Frozenbyte could make a decent 3d adventure platformer, but not under the Trine brand. Amadeus complicates things because having him move 3D objects around in 3D is tricky.

I think presentation has a huge impact on how good people think sales are. Labeling something a "FLASH DEAL" triggers something that will make people view it in a different way than a normal deal over a weekend or something. People around me are really bad at comparing prices, I've noticed, often "falling for" the flashy deals that might not be better (and often worse) than deals happening everywhere else.

Most of these Fanatical deals will probably also happen in a "less exiting" way during Steam's Winter Sale, but I would say waiting for the Winter Sale is better since it probably comes with a few more incentives and might have even lower princes since it's a few months away.

But it's great if you wanna play the games right now, of course, and you can't find a current lower price on isthereanydeal.

Surely you want the most used stick in the most natural and comfortable position? Your hands don't rest as open crab claws. Absolute mad men going with familiarity over actual comfort.
the natural position my thumbs rest at on a controller is between the sticks and the buttons so it makes no difference in that regard.

Oh I agree. I myself try and avoid FOMO (Fear of missing out) as much as possible, esp. lately
Flash deals stopped impressing me due to actually missing out due to time differences and the fact that...well I already have games I can play in the interm for that game to hit the 'flash deal' discount again or lower XP

I can't believe people still unironically want flash sales back to steam.
Only cause it lead to price mistakes, although they were cracking on those in the later years, the current system you get what you get and that's it.
I get that it added some excitement to see what the new deals would be or if any fuck-ups happened but now they treat you as a human with a life.

All of my recent game purchases come from Fanatical, although its lack of roster is disappointing; I had several cases where I checked Fanatical to check the price of good indie game, like Into The Breach for example, only to see it's not even sold there.
