That’s a great initiative.
I haven’t bought games from big publishers as EA or Ubi for years because of this issue.

Time for Star Wars season.

Yay!
I will check out Paradox’ Millenia as well as Homeworld 3

If you want to avoid the hassle that it takes to set up a Microsoft account you may try Minetest instead of Minecraft.
It’s an free and Open Source reimplementation that needs no Java, and the game mode “Mineclone” is very close to the original.

Regardings RTS I can recommend Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

I you want to try out a business simulation you may look at OpenTTD which is free (and free of ads) over Steam.

And don’t forget Among Us.

Well.
No one is even using Netflix’ games.
Thay just make sure it will stay so.

Great words: “Enjoy these games”

I did the mistake to back this project on Kickstarter. So I can tell you it’s not a great loss.

Wasn’t this the case with any other Rockstar game before?

I played the Hobbit and Ninjago the Movie together with my kids Both are very cool.
My kids play Lego City on the switch, and have much fun with too.

Well,
especially if he has additional health issues he should go for his vaccine. Of course it’s not a guarantee, but it lowers the risk for a serious illness significantly.

And it’s still not an excuse to stay away from a courtroom.

Thanks mate. I love you too :)

That’s funny how they spell “moral rot”.

Maybe because they inteded to launch later?

Just vaccine and all be good.

Yep, the components. I see redstone and switches.
But I don’t know those stones that lift the boat up.

Cool.
Which elemnts did you use? And are they available in Minetest too?

exactly that was my thought on Borderlands 3.
And after gatting it for free my realisation was that it even is the worst part in the whole series. Not bad, but the story isn’t that overwhelming as the stories in BL1 or BL2 had been.

to disagree slightly: there were many different stores and lunchers before Epic even existed. Apart from Steam I have bought games and other digital goods on Gog, Humble and the now- extinct Desura. While totally avoiding the stores from companies as Ubi or Ea because they just suck.
Having an addititional account wasn’t the big issue. There were already attemts to integrade several libs into one launcher, and if not you can at least run the start commands for that games out of steam.
What was sucking from the beginning was that arrogance of this sweeny guy, his promises of hot air, and his telling us of being the great saviour for all developers - while we as paying custemers were fed up with this bad launcher that is still missing every user interaction.
In the end not even the developers have profited from the store. Sales are not as promised, and in order to release a game on this platform sweeny blackmails you to give away older titles for free.

Thanks for suggestion. I checked the trailer, but I don’t think it’s worth for me to try the demo. It’s just not my type of game.

I myself addded 3 games to my wishlist after checking out the demos on steam this year. First one was manor lords back in march. then came Pagonia and enshrouded in october.
I am sure that releasing demo versions of games can make a difference. Many studios lack the financial power do do months-long marketing campains. Many players are even bored by such campains are are more impressed when they can get their hands on an upcoming title instead of having to watch the same trailer 50 times on youtube or in commercial TV. Many gamers do even avoid platforms as twitch or tiktok, and can’t be reached by avldvertising via this platforms.

Finally.

They should have done this from day one. Instead of buying exclusives and ruining Bandcamp.

I enjoyed a few of them. GtaV, or Borderlands 3 (altough part 2 will be my favorite part forever)
Civ6 was merely only a demo version, and TW:Troy really sucked and helped me save some bucks.

But mostly I just add them in the hope that Tencent will pay a few cents to The developers who created those games in the first place.
But I won’t buy anything there. Games that are only sold via this platform don’t exist.
