2 MS titles are currently on top 3 global best sellers. State of Decay 2 and Ori 2. Would have bought State of Decay 2 if I didn't have so much other stuff to play. Also really wanting to buy Stela as it seems like game in the Limbo/Inside/Little Nightmares veins.

Cordelia What region are you in.

Borderlands 3 is over 40,000 concurrent users.

I find it funny how both 2k and Deep Silver used a weekend sale to highlight the fact that their previously exclusive titles are on Steam.
It's a flop then.

If I move my whole Steam folder to an external drive and continue unpacking blands 3, it wont work right? Like I did with division 2. Because I can't find where to change setting to show where a game is stored in steam?

Move the folder first, "uninstall", the install again, it should detect the files and continue the unpacking where it left it is my guess.

The Windows Disk clean up says that I can recover 5gb by clearing windows update data, but when I do it, it doesn't do anything. How do I get rid of it?
I'm assuming you're on Windows 10?

Cleaning the Windows Update files usually takes some time, sometimes up to 30min - 1 hour. You can always just leave it running in the background while doing other stuff.

If there's a process named "Windows Modules Installer Worker" (or something of that ilk) in Task Manager it's currently in the process of getting rid of some update files.

ok so since today I can't leave my home because of coronavirus, backlog week it is.
You self-isolating for symptoms or because of government rules? Either way, stay safe and have fun not tackling the backlog because what you really want is something familiar and soothing :)

Government rules, and since tomorrow almost every business is closed so not much to do anyways.

Probably I won't even tackle the backlog, I'll just stare into my library without being able to choose what to play

Seems like even the console versions require a beth account so no doubt steam will too.

Guess I'm going to end up refunding Doom. Fuck Bethesda, for SO many reasons on top of this new one.

I haven't logged into my bethesda account since fumbling around with that PoS Quake Champions beta on that shitty launcher years ago.

But hey I have the account. If this is the only way to get Starfield and Elder 6 on Steam so be it. I'll log in damn it.

It makes no sense to do it for singelplayer games tho. These companies are just obsessed with collecting and sharing data without delivering anything of value to the gamer in return.

The steam page says you need a bethesda account, I expect mostly negative reviews on launch day to protest it.
I'll definitely leave one before I consider refunding it and I never take the time to write reviews, good or bad. The only good thing about it being forced on consoles too is the backlash may get so high they end up patching it out like they did with the Doom ports last year (though why they're doing this again is anyone's guess...)

That's good, What's up the negative reviews with State of Decay 2? I've never seen a game launch with overwhelming negatives so quickly before.

Rejoice fellow third worlder.

It's even cheaper than if you buy the PS4 version and sell the code lol.
So it's not stupidly overpriced at least, "only" 57.50 CHF but still kinda expensive considering you don't even get the extra codes like on the PS4 release. Not sure if i want to spend that much just so i have to join random discords and beg people in my region for matches in a week/month.

Also it's not available from third party resellers eh ? Fucking cunts.

Great... I got so mad by all the shit that I hit my keyboard and now it's broken haha, I have to push on "h" with immense force to get it to register. Too bad I have a laptop so can't change it out.XD

One of those days...

My city is closing down everything: Restaurants (delivery allowed), bars, clubs, museums, cinemas, fitness centers, theaters ... etc.
It is forbidden to visit retirement or care facilities, hospitals have strong time restrictions for visitors.
Schools and universities are closed. Events above 50 people are forbidden. People are advised to stay at home after work.
Social and public life is ending for a while. Take good care of yourself and the vulnerable people around you meta.

Talking about Vienna right? It's crazy how quickly things escalated this week. Really hope these measures help to slow the growth of the number of infected. Even just linear growth would be a massive improvement
It kinda pisses me off when people here compare it to the common flu when that's a very well understood thing, whereas COVID 19 is very much not. Especially if you can just look at Northern Italy to see how it's not like the fucking flu

All signs point to this game not dying in popularity anytime soon so you should be safe.

Shots getting real here in the US also. I'm in California and schools are closing, Universities are suspending classes and many people being told to work from home.

Sadly I can't work from home, so I suspect they will keep me coming into the office.

Granblue Versus selling well? No shit, it's Granblue Fantasy.

How the people at Cygames never published the original in the West, I'll never understand.
But now it's great, because there's tons of competitors that took all the mindshare available, and even if they release it tomorrow, they wouldn't get 5% of the revenue they would have if it had received a worldwide release in 2014!
Amazing.

If Relink gets an actual PC release, and not a broke-ass-stealth-port-Square-Enix-like, I'll predict a top 10 concurrent players.
If the coop mode is deep enough, maybe even more than that. It's weeb fantasy RPG deluxe with a big name, the budget that goes with it, and online play.

135k concurrent for Path of Exile

Ahhh, that new league smell

Funny thing is GGG has said about half and sometimes more people just use the standalone version. Incredible.
