Every so often I can't play Rocksmith2014 because uplay decides it isn't in the mood for authentication right now

not a sale but a really interesting read from a dev on how shit went wrong with a new indie title, really gets deep into the financials of indie pc development. x-post if you can to the dev/serious forums, i don't really go into those sub forums. if you ever wanted to make your own indie game, probably worth a read

Anyone know what the big steam store change in 2015 that hurt them that they keep referencing is? I read the article and some of the comments but maybe I somehow missed the explanation.

probably the change in how sales went, it used to be rolling massive discounts on certain gamers for 24-48h and those games sold a TON. then in fall they changed to 2 week sales, publishers were more conservative so I imagine most people stopped caring. could also be talking about the 2 hour refund window they implemented, but i doubt it

chinese new year sale on steam now, ironically I spent more today than I did the entire steam winter sale. bought alien isolation ($14.99 for GOTY with all dlc) and some older x-coms

Make War Not Love 3 - Prize 1 (no cost) on Steam

Well damn, the way I understood it only people logging hours into the participating games were going to get prizes. All those hours in CoH2 for nothing but to unlock more games for everyone. Surprised DoW2 won. I thought the Communist bloc solely played CoH2 despite their hatred of it.

Victor Vran on sale for 6.79. Lowest Steam price so far.

I'm in the mood for some good old Tower Defense. Any good TD games on Steam these days?

Do you own Defense Grid?

Also as a game a touche more niche and not exactly TD but Creeper World 3 is very good. I believe a Flash version exists if you want to dick around with it.

Nope don't own Defense Grid. Don't have any TD games on Steam at all.

Dungeon Warfare, Defender's Quest are both really good. I actually haven't finish Dungeon Warfare because it gets fricking brutal.

Kingdom rush is my favorite TD. It has a really good steam port. Bluestacks is great for playing the android sequels full screen on your pc too. Plants vs Zombies is also pretty fun but very easy.

I also second Defenders quest as being good.

I really loved Deathtrap. It's a little different in that you play a character while doing the TD stuff and there are some other elements that are not classic TD, so it may not be your thing. I also really enjoyed the aesthetic so that helped.

Kingdom Rush, duh.

Creeper World 3 and gem craft are also really good.
