Steam Deals and Digital Sales

So, Epic is groveling because some people didn't get the version of free that others did? How the fuck did this world get so ass-backward?

The retarded part is the standard version still existing at all. You can't actually buy it anymore, it's hidden on every store* now except when 505 wants to remind people why they're the shittiest EU publisher and they give it away for "free".

* - Except on Windows 10 Store, where they put the gimped version on Game Pass and don't even offer the upgrade to DC at all.

So after 7.5 years of owning GTA 5 for PC, I finally beat it. As a reward, I will purchase Cyberpunk 2077 or Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam while its still on sale.

Any suggestions of which of them I should buy?

I'd get Red Dead 2. I had a lot of fun with the open world, hunting and fishing. Story was really well done too. Cyberpunk I would wait until the DLC comes out in my opinion.

RDR2. Everything is quite polished. Story is good but drags a bit. The best part is really just enjoying being in the world. It's a relaxing and beautiful game.

Will be great to hear your thoughts on it in 2030.

I love both games, but RDR2 is probably my favorite single player experience in a long while.

RDR2 was beautiful garbage, gameplay was absolutely shit. How they managed to make an open world game pigeon hole you into doing every mission exactly the way they wanted you to killed it for me.
GTA was like get the thing from A to B. Red Dead was get the thing from A to B but follow this exact path of steps or fail the mission.
Even when I was following the path to get through a mission, boom cut scene that did the fighting for me... Don’t you dare try to have fun!

Viva la Dirt League has a pretty funny series of RDR2 skits.

They just started doing new RDR2 videos that won't be in the supercut too, fwiw.

A kind of random thing I discovered after using Augmented Steam, my lifetime market transactions:



90% of that is purely from trading cards. The rest would be CS:GO/TF2 crates and some skins when I was briefly into that. My current game total is 1208, as a reference.

With Augmented Steam and Idle Master Extended, even if you have thousands of games with cards, you could get them all in a handful of days without ever installing a game. Then you run through them using the one click buttons to list them in Augmented Steam. You might have to confirm them in your phone depending on your security and that's the slow part. Still, I posted nearly 1000 cards in about two hours total.

Worth noting that cards used to go for a lot more. You could routinely sell them for 10-20c, but now it's more like .04-10c. I usually would put them up at the current highest seller or 1c extra if you're willing to wait around to get the return. Still, potential to make some game spending cash for a small amount of effort.

get augmented steam and something like steam desktop authenticator, it can automate all the listing of cards for you


its kinda pointless though most cards just sit unsold. The good old days were in the 2005-2015 era when you could buy bundles and make back pretty much most of your money just idling games and selling off the cards.

Except they don't sit unsold as long as you don't put them up at ridiculous prices. I've sold 600 since sometime in December.

Why people actually buy this shit I'll never understand....
