Yea, until devs started leaking the dates way in advance for some attention. I prefer official communication over the dev of "Washcloth Simulator" spoiling the surprise.

ORDER!

Mindfactory hat das "Midnight-Shopping": https://www.mindfactory.de/info_center.php/icID/16

Hat aber einen Mindestbestellwert.

I am on a quest to play through all of the classic FPS. So I will put some time in Doom64.

Valve is not the one setting the prices. The publishers/developers are. One could argue that they are increasing their prices becauses of Valve's cut, but they aren't. A Ubisoft game for example costs the same on Steam as it does on the Ubisoft store, which is obviously not taking any cuts for its own games.

Also, 30% is the industry standard. Here is a nice overview IGN made in 2019. https://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2019/09/GameRetailerCuts_infographic-1.png

Edit for the price parity argument: If the parity would have increased game prices to include Valve's cut, AAA games would have gotten 30% more expensive many years ago. But they didn't.

Perfect Dark

Never played the original one.

I know you don't care, but I was in the same position as you. I gave up and tried to drown myself in food and alcohol.

Things can change. Even if you are 100% sure right now that they won't. When they changed for me, my mind and body already had irreparable damage. My memory suffered from the alcohol, my body will forever look ugly from the rapid weight gain. No amount of working out can fix that.

What I am trying to say is: Even if you don't believe in it, your attitude can change. Just like that, from one day to the next. Then you will regret your choices, but the damage is already done. Remember that.

Für mich wichtig: Schnelles einziehen, hoher Lichtschutzfaktor, kein zu starker Duft, kein fettiger Film auf der Haut. Bevorzuge Sprays und bin mit dem von Eucerin recht zufrieden.

I loved helping people find games they couldn't remember the names of.

Musste mit dem Saufen aufhören, wollte/konnte ich aber nicht. Als Ersatzhandlung dann mit Fleisch aufgehört. So bin ich einige Jahre vorher auch schon zum Nichtraucher geworden. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Vom Vegetarier zum Veganer dauerte es dann noch ein paar Jahre, der Weg zeichnete sich aber schon früh ab.
