They've brought back that pretty amazing '$10 off a game $14.99 or more' promotion.

Let's share great deals we find.

They could give their entire library a 95% off sale and I still won't use them. I have plenty of games on Steam and consoles to tide me over until the exclusives come to Steam and even if they never come over, it's a small price to pay to avoid supporting Tencent.

What's your objection to tencent? On the plus side they give devs more money than Steam.

I don't particularly want to start amassing a collection of games on another launcher, personally. I'll collect the free games that Epic gives out, since I've lost nothing if they eventually shut down, but I feel like Steam is the best option long term. The $10 off coupon is enticing, but in the end, if it's just one single game, I'd probably rather pay $10 more to have it on my Steam account.

GOG is pretty good if you can reserve the hard drive space. Just download the installers for everything you've ever purchased and try not to lose the data. But GOG rarely has the latest and greatest. Nor do they have all the little indie titles which Steam does, some of them are actually good.

I also picked up Outer Wilds for $14.99.
How'd you land that one?

Edit: Nm... I thought it was a typo of you trying to mention "The Outer Worlds". I figured I'd google "Outer Wilds" just in case... heh.

Outer Wilds is listed on Steam as well, but not for sale.
On Epic theres an airborne city builder and it looks neat.

As sparse as epic is on features, it looks like they removed one - browsing games by price.

Last night for the sale. Lots of games to consider, e.g., Borderlands 3 is $39. Picked up that goose game for $10.
