Phew! Finally got some time to sit down and catch up with the forum.
I think more so because company don't want to lower the sales of the remake because of the old game. Let's be frank. Many remake or remastered don't deserve the price tag they come with. So if the old game is still available to purchase, it would lower the sales more.
Personally I like how bioshock or darksiders do things. If you buy bioshock, you get both original and remastered for the same price. Same with Darksiders. You buy darksiders warmastered, you get original darksiders with it. So they are prioritizing the customers.
Then exists like Rockstar. Removed older gta games from steam without any last sale, sells definitive edition exclusively only on rockstar launcher for pc.
The bolded part caught my eye - I've got a complicated relationship with prices of games: on one hand I'm cheap and not that well-off, so I want to get the very best deal possible, on the other hand I feel like way too many devs (especially smaller ones) have devalued their games way too much with low prices and constant discounts. Like there are games out there that cost $5-10 normally, but they do deep sales all the time, so it just feels like a waste to pay 5 bucks for a "1-dollar-game". So I simultaneously want good games to earn their creators good money, but also want to spend as little as possible - like I said, a complicated relationship. It would've been much less complicated if I were carelessly wealthy :cool:

100% agree about the total BS that is Rockstar's approach to selling their old games, they go from low to lower all the time.

FreaKill hasn't been online (steam) for 9 days, I'm getting worried... I sent dm to both him and -v-, and I hope they are safe...
Thanks again for reaching out! Evacuating to Lviv with my family was exhausting (luckily mostly mentally) and I practically stopped checking my usual haunts, which wasn't all that healthy, reading through the lair helped with decompressing and once again reminded me that life goes on.

I saw that there are like 40 pages which I find it hard to read through during my absence these 2 weeks. I hope everyone is doing well!

Honestly speaking I kind of imagine if I were to be caught in such a situation Ukraine is currently facing I will certainly not be keep my thoughts straight even. Everyday tuning into the news makes it really painful to watch. So to our Ukrainian friends (FreaKill, -v- and possibly more others), we are really glad that we are hearing from you. We might be stalking you some here and there but knowing and seeing your activity online sure sets us at ease even if a little 😌

We still have a possibly Contagion game party to do in future! So hopefully in time to come everything will settle down and everyone of us here will be riding our lives smoothly and gunning some zombies in Contagion? 😂

During April I could join the Party of the Undead 👀
And I hope everyone else here can :D
Really nice! I read that Contagion is a really good title but the public servers are practically dead (what a waste in my sense). Solo play isn't that good as it stands out for multiplayer scenarios so if we can have a mob party with Gamers here then the multiplayer issues will be resolved. ;)

Not sure if I can do April myself but I certainly look forward to be able to game with some of you awesome souls here (be it any multiplayer games). I will be openly making a fool of myself for sure but we already know I am a fool so.. :ROFLMAO:

I always feel better when I visit this thread , no matter what kind of problems I am facing in my real life.
You know I hate to agree but this community is just INSANE (Sorry I had to have caps and everything on this)! One can feel awful, tug themselves into this little oasis and feel instantly better. One could also already feel fine, tug themselves yet again into this little oasis and feel instantly even better. I need not go on, you get the drift else this will start hitting the 10 character limit :ROFLMAO:

That is why every week, everyday I look forward to the day we will be able to do some sort of multiplayer games with many of you here. Would be even better if we could have our Ukrainian friends join in, certainly very eager on that! :love:

I bought it on sale a while back, but haven't downloaded nor played it yet (Contagion).

oo I just checked steamdb .. that's why .. 11G .. yikes.
Contagion needs at least about 4 players to make a good game play. It's a sad game that doesn't get enough love though 😞

But other multiplayer games playing with the community here will also be a great option in all honesty.

Also big big thanks for Muffin Knights! I really appreciate that DbLH3liX! 😄(y)
