VENETICA is free on Gog, not sure how long though as I got told about it via email so if you like that kind of game go for it. I snagged it and it reminds me of Jade Empire

Got the email too and just redeemed it. I hadn't heard of the game before but I did enjoy Jade Empire.

There's currently about 50 minutes or so left..

Most of the Trek games are -25% on GOG, I just got SFC3

Not a "deal" but it sure beats paying scalper prices, the PS5 disc edition with Horizon: Forbidden West seems to keep popping up in stock a lot lately at the PlayStation Direct store. Free shipping if you have PS Plus.

The Sims 4 is now free to play across multiple platforms, with EA hoping you spend like there's no tomorrow on all the add-ons.

Hades for Xbox is currently $8.49 at Best Buy. Beats the $10 clearance price at Gamestop.

I might have to consider a fucking PS5 if I want to get the Forbidden West DLC ...... Grumble, grumble. Ugly console is ugly

Still better looking than the literal box...

The PS5 is very functional and good but its design..... I just can't get over the shape and the sheer size of this thing next to the TV if and when I get it.

I actually prefer the simplicity of the Series X.

For anyone interested, Nintendo (in the USA) currently has a voucher program where if you buy a $100 voucher ($106 total) you get to pick any two downloadable games. Picked up Tears of the Kingdom this morning as one of the two games.

If anyone still wants the Avengers game, it's being delisted at the end of the month. Articles are saying the digital edition is down to $4 everywhere, but I'm still seeing it as $30 on the US Xbox page. It is $4 on Steam and the PS Store. After this month, whatever physical copies are still out in the wild will be all that's left.

Is being delisted the same as being discontinued?

Might wander over to steam and buy this. I never really got into it when I played it on console though.

All physical copies of games eventually get discontinued. Digital delistings are also common. DuckTales: Remastered caused minor outrage when it was delisted, but it actually came back the next year.

Ta, thanks.

Seems weird that something digital can be delisted, I mean it exists on a server so why can't it stay forever?

In this instance maybe the studio lost the Marvel license. If no one's buying the game, why spend money to renew the license?
