I'm sure the game will sell well over its lifetime, but this is not a zero sum game in terms of revenue. If large percentage of players decide to wait until a big sale, that means a lot less money here and now and overall a lower amount. If it takes longer for the player base to grow, it also means less word of mouth (and Steam is far more important in that respect than EGS tiny user base).
Ultimately, IOI is just hurting themselves with this.
This looks like a Genshin Impact copy. I haven't played any Netmarble gacha games so I'm not sure how greedy they will be. Might wait and see how the combat is to see if this is worth playing over Genshin.I don't care for the anime, I probably won't watch it, but this game looks great, with some BOTW-esque open world (with underwater) and cool combat/GI stuff.

Not sure what IOI expected launching H3 without a launch discount. They are competing against other games for our money and if I see confusing bundles and a 1 year old game that's still at full price I'd probably go spend my money on a new game like MH:Rise, Dying Light 2 or Elden Ring instead. Depending on how interesting the planned Year 2 content is I might pick it up on a huge sale or wait for it to show up in Choice.
I’m actually quite glad I bought Hitman 3 a year ago now looking at all this 
Bought Hitman 3 on PS5 at launch and playing it now via gamepass on PC
I might eventually get to use my steam profile

I see that EGS only has Hitman 1 and 3 ? I'm even more confused now.
Hitman 2 was published by WB and it was up to them to release it on Epic Store.
They can, there is an access pass for Hitman 2.
Hitman 3 getting a 50% off sale on EGS while the full price Steam release is still fresh? Ouch.
The Humble thing could be written off as a 3rd Party Seller's volition, but the publisher controls their own sales on EGS, right? There's a threshold where this goes from "Just Business" to flagrantly taking the piss.
I'll hold out and see if the "No season sales until 30 days have passed" thing holds true when the Sale goes live in an hour. Probably will.

Nah, still too expensive. Its gone on my 'wait till its about £25-30' list and thats mostly because of IOI and the shitty way they have handled the (re) launch. Its a year old, been discounted heavily already, ill wait.
uff, nobody will use anymore valve suggested price
Bad regional pricing as expected.
, CLP here and its a joke
The Steam Lunar New Year Sale is live

Steam is the ultimate destination for playing, discussing, and creating games.
IOI is so generous that their free DLC....
still makes the game 30€ more expensive on Steam. Amazing.
This needs to be a tv show.
As much as I love the OlliOlli series, I'm also going to have to wait on a bit of a discount. Or some good reviews.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection is 60% off, a new historical low:
Is Valheim worth it if i play single player? Do you need some chums to play to get the most out of it?
Trying to play Taiko No Tatsujin on GP, but the prompt to log in to my MS account never pops up, so I can't play. (usually with other games you have to alt tab or minimize other stuff to see it. Not here. It's straight up not there).
Trying to install a game on EA Desktop, Hit Download Button, choose location, Accept... and nothing happens. And now I can't download any game on the launcher. If I go to the download page of any game (not even the one I tried to download first) I see a greyed out "Loading" button (this has happened twice before, I had to uninstall the launcher and reinstall for it to work):
If only Valve wasn't a monopoly their competitors would be so much better...

Gosh I remember posting the same pics in this very thread
And no I haven’t heard anyone mention the game since then either
Time travel + escape room style puzzles sounds neat.

If you own the base game on Steam or EGS then you can upgrade for $9.99 otherwise it will be sold separately for $39.99.
Someone made a mod to fix that:

This doesn't sound right at all
I put 30 hrs. into it solo back at launch and quite enjoyed my time with it. Plan to go back to it after it's crosses the 1.0 threshold.
It is a bit grindy, and I'll never be a Grand Architect when it comes to base building. But I thought the general gameplay loop was fun as heck.
Exploration was really dangerous and rewarding once you start branching out into biomes with higher-level baddies. Has a really adventurous feel for the genre.
I'd say it lives up to the hype, even for the solo player.
Why write 'The Future of game' when the future is death lol
That looks great, ive packed away my VR stuff coz im moving but adding this to the wishlist for later. Cheers.
Only thing I'm getting on sale is Lego Builder's Journey. Raytrrrrrrracing, baybee.
Was planning on picking up a chunky VN for the Deck, but pretty much all of them were cheaper during the winter sale.
Well that's disappointing.
Thinking of grabbing Nexomon: Extinction and Hades though. But I'm not sure yet, still need to do some browsing.

So, I hear the EGS Sale for Hitman 3 has been killed. Just checked myself on two different connections (Mobile phone and work internet) and it's showing full-price on EGS again.
Cockup of the Year.

From the reviews it seems like a fun game with tons of content and variety for a roguelike. Will probably try it once i'm done with my backlog.
Same here, they removed the discount on EGS, this thing is getting weirder and weirder, LOL.
I have said this many times, but every single time I venture outside Steam to another service I am immediately reminded of the enormous gap between Steam and everything else. It's not even stuff like extra features, other clients routinely fail at the most basic tasks like downloading and running a game. It is ridiculous.
BTW, not drama related -
Anyone know why a Wacom tablet being plugged in (Not even turned on - And mirroring my ProArt monitor when it is) would cause Framepacing to commit seppuku in some games? I noticed that Monster Hunter Rise runs flawlessly with no issues, but PSO2 has a total aneurism, reporting 120+ FPS with the feel of only being 20FPS, until I unplug the tablet and framepacing instantly stabilizes.

Yes it is, really cozy and adventurous (although slower) in single player
Maybe when people say "Steam is a monopoly", they mean Steam has a monopoly on being actually well designed, feature rich and focusing on good service over anything else. And on that front, I can't disagree.
10$ for Death Stranding DC is honestly a much better price than I was expecting from 505. Definitely upgrading day one then. It's also pretty funny to see them, of all publishers, nailing this one right on the heels of IOI completely fucking up Hitman 3's Steam launch, which should've been the easiest slam dunk ever.
When I looked up what the DC had before I started playing recently, I didn't see anything worth $10. After playing the game for 40+ hours so far, and double checking the DC content, I still don't. It seems like on PS it was largely a fidelity upgrade to go to PS5 but that's kinda pointless on PC. The fact it's the same price to upgrade that it was on console when like 75% of the "features" don't apply (and coming out a fair bit later) is not great to me.Death Stranding - From Kojima Productions and 505 Games
