    Kingdom Come: Deliverance - $8.29 CAD (80% off)

    Probably my favourite ARPG. You play as a peasant with no skill, and that actually translates in game. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at games where you effortless smash waves upon waves of enemies, this game is for you. Beating even the lowliest grunt can be quite challenging, forcing you to play in ways other than “beat everything up”.

    The neat thing is the story is not only based on real life events, but all the towns exist (still to this day in the Czech Republic), the geography is super accurate (relative distnace, rivers, ridges, etc) and even the buildings are modelled off the real things (some are still standing, or you can still see their ruins).

    This game ticked so many boxes for me, and is a steal at $8


  • I get the principled reason to do this. But most people aren’t set up to pirate. And even if they were, it’s inconvenient to have games not attached to their steam library. I don’t think anyone should deprive themselves of this masterpiece.

    If the prospect of pirating is holding you back, just buy it. The game is too good to miss out






  • The problem is this relies on the people who make stuff making a huge sacrifice on behalf of everyone else. This won’t change until everyone else is willing to at least match what rich people can offer to people who make stuff. Unfortunately everyone else are not willing to match this unless people who make stuff can offer a product of equivalent value. Making a product of equivalent value takes time, which gives rich people ample opportunity to offer more than everyone else is willing to.
