Omnibus Direct Distribution Deals threadFollow

Killer is Dead is $5 at Gamersgate, plus some 10% off code I can't read because my screen at work cuts off the background image displaying the code

For some reason Alien: Colonial Marines is back on Steam for $15.

I forget what thread it was originally mentioned in, but Darkest Dungeon is actually worth the Early Access Price. It's closer to being a complete game than being a beta as videos below will demonstrate.

Twenty bucks is too rich for my blood. I am looking at Besiege (aka Kerbal Catapult Program) for seven bucks. Not to make a direct comparison since Shaowstrike says DD is a complete experience but I like the Besiege dev's statement that its current price reflects the current state of completion and content. As they expand on the game, the price will increase. How it should be for these early access titles.

My brother seems to like construction games on Steam. Besieged was the first game he has bought in some 6 months. He hasn't said anything to me about it though. He also bought Bridge It Plus I think the same day.

He has bought maybe 5 games on steam but has almost 250 in his Steam library because he ends up getting most of my bundle scraps. Yet he won't use idle master to get the cards to sell. I told him at the very least he should idle all his cards and give them to me so I can sell them instead. Still have seen him start. I'm tempted to install team viewer on his counter one day when he is still at work and sneak in there one night to turn it in and steal his cards.

At one point.

I didn't amass my heap of Funbux by spending them on Early Access games!

Also, seven bucks and change for this Lego bundle

Steam's Valentine's Day sale on Co-Op games.

The Brazilians are selling Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition for $1.40 (3.99 Brazilian Reais).
It also has about 20-25 cents worth of cards. So 90% off (over, actually) plus another 20 cents in Wallet Funds.

Are you saying that early access titles are charging more for the early access than they are for full price release? Cause that's not really true. Unless you mean that they are charging more than they are for "half a year down the road when it's on sale after release".

Like Wasteland 2 and Divinity, both were basically full price (minus an occasional small sale) during Early Access and at release time. Some time later they went on sale. But that is true for non-EA games as well. Don't buy a game at release, and you'll save money when it goes on sale later in its life.

While I can't fault you for being mad that they are full price games during EA, it seems misleading to be mad that they are "more than retail". Or paying "early access price" like EA prices are higher than release prices. That may be true is a very few cases (but I can't actually think of an example)... but it's notlike "EA Price" is more than release price.

There were a few games that originated on Kickstarter that charged more for EA on Steam than retail, Planetary Annihilation is one example. The reason for that is they were charging the same price for EA as they had Kicksterters pledge for Alpha/Beta access. In that case it was only fair to those who supported the project from the beginning.
