I think lashman's alt-account over on Era has had a threadbackfire something chronic.

In addition to the obvious "throw it at the low effort trolls to prove they're trolling", it's the same reason why people still present facts and reality to, say, Trump supporters - cognitive dissonance is mighty but has limits, and the more you chip away at it the less shit the world gets bit by bit.
Borderlands GOTY Enhanced popped up in library
I thought I would get Borderlands 2 GOTY Enhanced as well. Isn't that how it is supposed to work?
For the record, I only own Borderlands 1 GOTY (and now Borderlands 1 GOTY Enhanced).

I dont personally partake in review bombing but this is pretty much a bingo at this point
For BL2, it's a texture pack that you install separately:

The last time I can remember review-bombing was when some game had garbage security that they had been warned about for years, and ended up leaking 8 million or so passwords. How else was I supposed to voice my displeasure towards the developers and warn people about a shoddy developer?
Take to Twitter? No one follows me. Write Facebook comments? They'll be forgotten in two seconds. Send some emails to the devs? They'll ignore them. At least with reviews I'm leading feedback that can be aggregated into a number that will warn people to stay away, and possibly hurt the developers if they don't fix it.
And besides the EGS what platforms is Rami talking about that don't have reviews anyways? The PSN and eShop? I guess you could count Itch.io since a select few developers turn their comments off. But the lack of reviews is exactly why I tend to not buy anything but known quantities on those platforms. Reviews drive discovery to unknown titles, because without them, no one would know what these small games are, since the media doesn't care to cover them.

I can proudly announce that in my effort to reach the biggest possible audience I have signed an exclusivity clause with lashman
Sadly, the NDA doesn't allow me to publicly disclose terms of the deal, but let me assure you it was made with you in mind, and not my bank account.

Buy Dangerous Driving™ from the Humble Store

EGS keys already up on Humble.
And got a 30% coupon.
A bunch of pixels. A coupon. I buy.
From devs of 10,000,000 and You Must Build A Boat.
I really do hope that Humble Monthly bundles don't include EGS keys anytime soon. I'll pause my subscription.
I mean, it's a foregone conclusion. IGN head of reviews says there aren't any good games releasing on Steam in 2019, and IGN owns Humble.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if by the end of the year there are still some Steam keys in a Monthly bundle.
They'll just silently edit the main page, just like they did with Uplay and Battle.net keys before.
Someone should tell him IGN's Steam Curator didn't get the memo. And ask how their review of the latest Steam hit Risk of Rain 2 is coming along.
That would suck so bad, im fine with a choice of key but that's not how egs does things. So expect monthly go egs crazy soon enough. There just isn't that many games on egs yet, couple of months and they would have given away all of them .XD
I think Humble Store needs to be more clearer on what kind of keys you get. I see the Epic/Steam icon, but it is too small and the text that states what kind of key you get is not visible enoughBuy Dangerous Driving™ from the Humble Store

tHAT'S not a steam icon; it's the windows icon to indicate the game will run on Windows OS. Some games will show the Linux and Mac logos if they're compatible.

I'm gonna cry if/when Humble Monthly contains EGS keys
Hektor and Alexandros thanks for the great FAQ. It has been proven very useful already ☺
Finally made to 10k achievements.

Just Hektor, he did all the work.
That and the ratings still are 80% for one game and over 90% for the other two games. Those people decrying review bombing wouldn't even be aware it happened at all if it wasn't for the extensive and easy to use viewing tools you have on Steam user reviews. Transparency, kill it with fire! Or something. Is it even still review bombing if it's at such a small scale it doesn't affect a game's overall positive reception? Is some prospective customer somehow driven away from buying Borderlands 2 or the other games because of this so called review bombing without actually agreeing with the reasons those in the grand scheme of things few people point out when they stop recommending these games? What exactly is the problem there? And why shouldn't anyone be able to not recommend certain games based on the company policies as much as the product if he's honest about it in his review? I tell ya, the reason Epic doesn't have user reviews is half because they can barely develop a functional fully featured client and store and half because we'd all see they have barely any buyers for most games, they'll probably eventually add it if the store keeps growing since user reviews are standard practice across so many industries and nobody cares about the odd occasion of review bombing other than these I don't know what people sticking around gaming for reasons that obviously differ greatly to the rest of the gaming community's. Pretty much everything Steam does is wrong for these people. And everything Steam doesn't do is also wrong of them. Lol.
How would anyone know Risk of Rain 2 is the success it is if we didn't have Steam stats in real time and all those user reviews it quickly accumulated where the overwhelming majority recommends it? Hunt for the rare press review or article (it's not on EGS so most sites gave no fucks about it) which would conveniently put it on equal or even lower footing than whatever random EGS published game? There's a clear conflict of interest when whatever so called journalist wants to put a stigma on user reviews. Why don't they rag on metacritic for having them rather than Steam? Or Apple Store? Google Play? Amazon? IMDB? Ebay? Best Buy? Popular price comparison websites? Facebook business pages? Youtube? EVERYTHING?! Jesus. User reviews are here to stay, so is Steam, get over it.

That's exactly what someone with an alt-account would say.
Nice to have you back, lashman.

In a few hours, we have a few interesting games that are coming out on Steam:
Great thread, lashman .
I finished Katamari Damacy - Reroll today. Absolutely lovely game. Great concept that is explored quite thoroughly, but without ever becoming stale. And the songs are just pure bliss:
And many more.
Such a perfect title.

i'm not even gonna bother with it ... even the base game runs like absolute ass for me

My rig manages 1440p/55-60 most of the time, max settings - so if nothing else I should be able to managed a locked 30FPS with the HD textures. Nice to have the option!

PSA - What cut do Valve actually take from devs? Is it really as high as some people think? Lets find out.
Hopefully this is okay to post here. I originally posted it elsewhere but I thought people here would be interested in it and wanted to contribute something :p. A hot topic recently in the media and on gaming forums has been the cut that various storefronts take when selling games. This is...

a very, very, VERY good thread:

Bah. I was a member on GAF for four years and I was banned for 2.5 of them before getting permabanned. Without ever insulting another person, mind you.
But you are just a hyper toxic pro consumer computer cowboy, so each and every of those ban was warranted.
I mean, it is known.
Am I missing something? These responses are annoying as f*ck.
"Valve did the same with HL2"
"That's how you enter a market"
"perhaps Valve fixes their shitty client now"
Are you sure it's not a Steam icon?
Looks like a Steam icon
Anyway, I don't find it visible enough

There is no Steam logo, but you can see the Windows OS logo.
