Overall a pretty good month

The most recent post for Nuuvem is a month old and it seems to have disappeared from the list of site filters. Did I miss something? Is it no longer considered legit?

FWIW, I was looking at Torment: Tides of Numenera on there (I won't link in case the mods are against that site). I'm in the US and it's priced in USD and says it'll activate "Across the globe, except South America and Europe."

Update: Not even close this time. Only one title correct.

Another strong lineup if true. Confirmed by the usual leaker.

Returnal
Assassin's Creed Valhalla (probably Ubisoft launcher?)
Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood Champion of Gaia Edition
Noita
Fashion Police Squad
Blacktail
Paquerette Down the Bunburrows
Spirittea

This month I bought two bundles and during the steam sale I bought dragon's dogma and an indie platformer from my wishlist. Meanwhile this month I'm only playing dark souls. So over 10 new games... Now there's two new bundles and I'm really struggling to stop myself from buying one of these too. Help?

Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right place but wanted to create a post to see if anyone heard back from AllYouPlay.com for Dragon's Dogma 2 keys? Seems like there are a lot of their customers who didn't receive their keys at launch time when looking at their Discord channel.

In my case, I preordered on Mar 14 and pressed the "click to see activation key" before the release date not realizing they will give out the keys at the release time. However, release time came and that page didn't get updated and no key was received. I saw on the Discord channel that some people have tried to get support tickets in (though it's full and new tickets cannot be submitted), get refund claims, and even go to chargebacks/PayPal disputes.

I have seen one comment on the DD2 subreddit where someone said they clicked that button after release time and received a key, but is their site really that bad that pressing it early would cause key delivery to break?

What's worse is that they seemed to have deleted the Discord channel where people were voicing complaints and so far is radio silent across all communication channels. It's somewhat understandable due to time zones (I think they're based in the Netherlands) but overall I think it still seems really unprofessional to not respond to customers with at least saying they're investigating. It seems that the Discords admins have popped online a few times but have not given any answer/update.

My only hope is this silence is to get things resolved but so far I think I won't be purchasing from them in the future.

Edit: I did receive a key this morning so that is resolved. As for the Discord channel being deleted due to violating community guidelines, I would hope in the future there can be less disruptive moderation. Not sure if per message deletion is possible but maybe even locking the channel and then going through it.

from my understanding, this will allow people to play your licenses while you are playing a different game.

if you have 5 people in your family, and four of you want to play Palworld at the same time, there needs to be 4 licenses throughout the family

also, you cannot join a family from different countries (this will be a pain the butt for all them people buying shared accounts for cheap games, guess is this one way to combat that.)

the ability to view and approve what your children wish to purchase is a fantastic idea.

I do like these changes a lot overall, but I am sad I will not be able to share my library with a close friend in another country anymore :(

other things, still cannot use two computers with the same account using different licenses :( so I cannot play idle games on my PC while playing games on my Steam Deck at the same time, unless one is in offline mode

edit: Steam now has a Family Sharing feature on the right hand side of the store pages to show if the game works for Family Sharing

https://imgur.com/a/yjvAYsI what it looks like in the steam client for a game that is shared

edit2:
https://imgur.com/a/CE0YLuJ the library of available games seems high enough from what I have anyway.

This is a short sale but I thought we could gather all the nice deals for some of the lesser known games. Here are my suggestions:

Scoop Kick is a single screen platformer at an all time low price.

Cat Warrior is a retro 2d action platformer with pixel graphics.

Smells Like Burnt Rubber is an action packed top-down arcade racer.

ProtoCorgi is a bullet hell 2d shooter.

Looking forward to your suggestions

Relevant Blog Post

Greetings, GameDealsMeta!

You'll find all of the same information above in the blog post where I tried to explain what the change is, but for the sake of wholeness, I wanted to add my own bit of information here and ensure that you don't need to click away from this post to know what's happening. The link above is just in case you want to see the extended version speaking a bit more about it.

Over this last year, we've been taking steps to implement some of your most requested features. Evident first with our very first GOG sale starring Bethesda and now, we're changing the way that Build Your Own Bundle works here at Fanatical. This change has been done to improve the user experience in our store and it was built to ensure that we were granting the best possible experience for you while you shop bundles.

This change comes from knowing that many have struggled to fill a bundle — we know many of you found yourselves with extra or fewer keys than needed to hit specific tiers, forcing you to make a decision we never feel you should have had to make in the first place: let go of one key or buy an extra you don't want. In the example I gave in the blog post, if the tiers are 3/5/7 and you picked four games, we don't want to force you to add a game and we don't want to force you to let go of something you want, either. So to remedy this, we've changed the way tiers are handled in our bundles.

Essentially, you can add as many games as you want to your tier and the price will be calculated, instead, by your total price-per-item. You might have four games even though the minimum is three and the next tier is five, so we'll calculate it by how much each game costs in your current tier and then add that as the extra price, adjusting the bundle to your benefit. We still have the incentivisation of adding more games by lowering the price at higher tiers (the higher your tier, the lower your price-per-item is), but you can now — freely — choose how you want to approach the bundle. We don't want to restrict you to a set number of keys only, or even a limit of games (you can qualify for the higher tier and then keep adding as many games as you want, getting the lowest price-per-game for as many titles as you add).

I will be here to answer any queries or forward any feedback you want! I hope you're as excited for this change as I am, and I hope you have a good one!

It seems Humble have been adding coupons for this month's Choice to people's accounts without bothering to email them to tell them. So if you've been waiting for a discount, go check your account.

I had an $8 for this month coupon, and now they've send a $7 coupon. Will they go lower? Maybe?

I'm normally more of patient gamer so I don't often pre-order stuff but I'm thinking about picking up the Elden Ring DLC since you can get a 10% discount.

I've heard of a lot of problems for people pre-ordering with Humble Bundle so I'm wondering if that is a problem exclusive to them or if this is a fairly common risk with 3rd party pre-orders. Does anyone have experience with Gamesplanet or Gamersgate for example? Thanks

What's the usual price for the FF Pixel Remaster bundle? On Steam (3 Feb 2023), the bundle is on sale for US$59.84, but says is 38% off of $95.94, but on Humble Store the cost for the bundle is $74.99 without discount. I'm assuming Square Enix raised the price for the sale to fake a larger discount? Or is the bundle usually $95.94? Does it show the same in other regions?

Hi everyone,

As most of you may be aware Frogwares recently gained publishing rights to The Sinking City, and to support anyone who previously purchased a download version at Gamesplanet (Standard or Deluxe) you will find in your Gamesplanet account a voucher that can be exchanged for either a Steam or GOG key.

If you've purchased a Standard key, you'll get a Standard replacement key, and if you got the Deluxe in the past you'll get a Deluxe replacement.

To get started head to your account page voucher tab: https://gamesplanet.com/account/vouchers (check which portal you purchased on if you're missing the voucher as it could be on DE/FR/UK/US depending your purchase tenant).

Once there you'll find a redemption voucher that can be exchanged for one copy depending on the version you purchased. Add one of the following to your cart and checkout (remember which version you have - if you're unsure you can check your account page).

Steam

Standard - https://gamesplanet.com/game/the-sinking-city-steam-key--3911-1
Deluxe - https://gamesplanet.com/game/the-sinking-city-deluxe-edition-steam-key--3911-2

GOG

Standard - https://gamesplanet.com/game/the-sinking-city-gog-key--3911-3
Deluxe - https://gamesplanet.com/game/the-sinking-city-deluxe-edition-gog-key--3911-4

Once you've done that click on the "Redeem a voucher" / "Gutschein einlösen" / "Activer un code promo" and click the little button next to it, dropping the price to 0. Then you simply pick up your replacement key from your account page: https://gamesplanet.com/account

Any issues? Let us know via help@Gamesplanet.com or reply below and I'll help you out :)

Huge thanks to Frogwares for making this possible!

Hi! i was curious if any1 know any game seller sites that has amazon pay other then humble bundle.

Also is there a way I could use amazon itself? I've tried to look for steam games but no luck at all, is there a section within amazon store to look for steam games?

​

Thanks in advance!

Three games will be Marvel's Midnight Suns, Two Point Campus, and Aragami 2, according to the usual leaker.

Gosh, didn't we just do this? Regardless, it's that time of the year again! Post your best deal discoveries that might otherwise slip under the radar.

As always, SteamDB is an excellent tool for finding new record lows and other good deals.

Hello again,

Last week we asked you for input on how to structure our threads for seasonal Steam sales going forward. We got a lot of great responses, so thank you very much to all who shared their thoughts.

In terms of results, there was a strong preference for both options 1 and 2, with a slight lead by option 1. We weren't just looking at raw numbers however, we also considered the rationale and argument behind each comment.

What we learned was that many enjoyed the discussion aspect of the Steam sales, but felt the unchanging nature of the sales did not justify a large number of threads. We feel this is a very fair point, and will be greatly reducing the number of threads.

However a large number of people also expressed concern that a single megathread, as sorted by new, would not offer enough opportunity for discussion. It would start with a flurry of comments, and then quickly grow stale. Others also shared that they appreciated the reminder to check the sale again before it ended.

With this in mind, we've decided to employ a compromise between the two options. We will be scaling back the number of threads to four posts for the entire sale. They will be posted roughly four days apart, on days 1, 5, 9, and 14 (for a final reminder). We will not be using "new" sort, to allow more organic discussion to take place.

We may tweak the exact number of days as required for future sales, but we feel this is the right balance for now based on the feedback we've received.

A lot of comments also spoke of the Hidden Gems thread: a tradition where a community member posts a thread here in /r/GameDealsMeta, and others share their lesser-known deals from the sale. It's been a treasure trove of great recommendations for years now.

There were some suggestions to adopt this thread "officially" under a mod post. We discussed the idea, but felt that it being a community post is part of its charm, and we don't want to risk hurting the magic of that. We will continue to link it from the main sale threads for discoverability, though.

Additionally, if other interesting discussion threads are posted to /r/GameDealsMeta, we'll include links to those in the next sale post as well. For example, "What are some great multiplayer games on sale?" is a good topic, but "Should I buy GTA V?" is not.

Now we knew when we posted this request for input that we'd get a healthy mix of opinions, and that's certainly been the case. Many were steadfastly against a single megathread, while others felt it was the only reasonable solution. As such we know that not everybody will be on board with these changes. However we do ask that you be understanding and give the new format a chance. We're trying to balance the needs of an entire community, and it won't perfectly align with any one reader's preferences. We will continue to iterate as needed though, and will continue to monitor feedback of this change.

The sale begins in 24 hours. If you have any questions about the new format, please feel free to ask below and we'll do our best to clarify.

Thank you,
GameDeals mods

I hope this is an okay place to put this. As a Christmas gift, I'm looking to get some games where the funds will go to a charity. Similar to a fundraising itch . io bundle (except none are running right now).

​

Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you!

Hello /r/GameDeals community,

As we mentioned during the Steam Summer Sale, we will no longer be actively running the seasonal Steam sale threads due to reduced moderator capacity. Unfortunately we do not have the resources to handle the daily maintenance of these threads anymore.

Although we are sad to end this long-running tradition, the timing does feel right. With each new sale, Steam has slowly been moving away from a deterministic set of featured daily sales, towards a more generalized recommendation engine. The deals that one person saw on their frontpage would differ from what others saw. This made it difficult to show an unbiased selection of deals to share discussion of, as in past years.

The question then becomes, how do we handle Steam sales going forward? This is something we wanted to ask you about. We welcome new ideas, but have a few suggestions for you to consider:

1. A single mod post at the start of the sale with a link to the store. The thread would be pinned with suggested sort by new, with readers commenting deals. Individual Steam threads will be removed, with exceptions made for new deals or developer posts.
2. A variant of this on a schedule. Rather than being pinned, a new thread would be created every few days to refresh discussions. Sorting could be by new or best.
3. No megathread. Steam deals would be submitted individually by readers. We'd employ a bot to limit readers to one or two submissions per day. Otherwise, only reposts would be removed.

We can rule out Contest Mode, as expanding comment threads is tedious and the random nature makes it difficult to find new comments. Live Threads have also proven unpopular in the past.

We recognize that no option is perfect. We've tried many formats over the years before settling on daily featured threads, and even that was met with occasional pushback. However we're looking for the approach that satisfies the largest number of people, and maintains the best balance of quality, freshness, and accessibility.

Please comment below with any thoughts or your preferences. Your feedback will help inform our handling of seasonal Steam sales going forward. If you have any alternate proposals, we would be happy to hear them, though please understand that moderator resources are limited.

Thank you,
/r/GameDeals mods
