Humble Choice

I mean, I can understand wanting all your games in one place which is why I tend to use gog galaxy, but why does it matter if it opens another launcher? Lose a couple of seconds when opening it I guess if that's important, and it's actually steam I often have to open manually as the account joining to gog galaxy keeps breaking but tends to be ok with others.

Just how I feel about it I suppose.
 
I've toyed with getting Pacific drive for a while but didn't like the sound of the save system. Guess it will be so cheap now I'll try it anyway.

It's yet another form of DRM. Who's to say if EA shut down their launcher that they won't bother fixing past games that use it? Or having two lots of overlays enabled which could conflict? (I know you can disable the EA one.) And all the cloud saves run through EA instead of Steam. It's all hidden from the user so you have no idea if it's even working or not. Nah, both Ubi and EA need to shut their POS stores down in full.

True, another reason I prefer not to use steam if possible and will try to get via gog where I can if it's reasonable.

And GOG lets you download the actual hard copy/install files of the game as well, so you have it for ever, i always put a copy of install files on a hard drive.
 
I'd much rather have everything on Steam, but I'm not going to miss out on a game I really want to play just because its only available with another launcher. I bought my first Epic game last year, as I wasn't going to miss Alan Wake 2, I remember once buying a rockstar launcher version of one of their games (RDR2 I think?) because the Steam version was an extra tenner, and I'd feel ripped off paying the premium. I'm not overly worried about services shutting down, I almost never go back and play old games, too much new stuff to get through.

But back on topic, I thought Pacific Drive was excellent, well worth it!
 
At this point, games need to come to me. There are so many games to play, that I will never clear my backlog and play everything I want to, so games need to come to me. Want to put up walls, fine, there's another game to take your place.

Epic is special case as well, Tim Sweeny would need to pay me to buy games there. 1) he is a massive nob making out he is on some righteous crusade to free us from Steam :p & 2) Epic already abandoned PC once because they thought the grass was greener on the console side, on top of that, called us (pc gamers) pirates on the way out, so hell will freeze over before I buy anything there.
 
Decent month

Dredge and 1000XResist were two games I would have bought sooner or later. Aliens looks decent and Tomb Raiders would be nice to have.

The other 4 look like games my lad would like, so spot on for me.
 
Only Tomb Raider for me. Already have Dredge on gog from an Amazon key, not really interested in anything else. Will just pick up a Tomb Raider key once the price plummets for it.

Even though it is a good month for games this month for once, I have skipped this month. Already own 2 of the 3 headline Games and will probably buy the Tomb Raiders some point in the future.
 
I've ended up with a spare "Dredge" key this month, I accidentally clicked it, when I already owned it... Does anyone want it, assuming its as easy as copy and pasting the key.
