What do you guys think of buying Cyberpunk 2077? I've been waiting for it to improve before buying, and with the dlc around the corner, and generally good opinions it seems like a great time to buy.

Edit: Just bought it together with the DLC, thanks for the recommendations!

If you’re interested in 4X games at all Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is only $1.49. It absolutely holds up and to this day probably still has the best story of any 4X game.

It also works great on Steamdeck with a couple of easy tweaks. Unfortunately the instructions for those tweaks are currently in Reddit blackout shutdown limbo so I can’t copy them here, but when the blackout ends you can Find The Instructions Here.

It's out of blacklist limbo

Love GOG, definitely the best storefront for PC games by far due to their principles. They're not perfect, but I personally don't buy if it's not on GOG.

Looks like I can pick up Cold Steel 3/4 and Ys 8/9 for good prices this sale, so I know what I'm getting come pay day.

Would love to use it more, but no Linux support. I've tried using it through Lutris, but installing updates is more annoying than it needs to be.

Same. Minigalaxy bridges the gap a little, but it's missing critical features that only GOG could implement. GOG have had Linux gamers pestering them for Galaxy on Linux forever. Seems like a natural fit, but they've ignored it, teased that it's happening, ignored it again... I eventually gave up and went all-in on Steam. Valve have done everything they can to make Linux a class-A member of their ecosystem, so that's where my business goes.

Yep, I'd be glad to see valve have some competition on Linux, but in the meantime I've been greatly appreciating their contributions.
