not one that matches earlier years, where they gave away a game a day >throughout December. Right now, the Epic Game Store shows the next
free game coming out on Thursday (as usual) and that being it for the
week. There's been no rustlings about there being more free games
coming either. Is the Fortnite fun running low?
I said last year that I prefer your giveaway games. Now yours are
better by default! Epic sucks.
- The classic Warcraft games are being delisted on GOG. If you want to >(legally) play the games in their original format --rather than the >half-assed remake released by Blizzard a few years ago-- then you've
only a few days to buy it on GOG before its gone.
The only RTS games I really like a lot are AOE1 and AOE2 and I own the definitive editions of those. Warcraft 2 was fun though.
- "No Man's Sky" finally worth buying according to overall review
scores. It had such a terrible launch in 2016 that the game is only
now overcoming it's (well deserved) review-bombing. Even in its much
updated state, I don't really care for the game but I'll be the first
to admit that the developers have done a lot to redeem the game, and
it definitely deserves the praise being heaped upon it now. All the
more so since all the updates have been free. And the devs are
promising more updates to come.
I remember the game's disastrous launch. The game was unfinished and
yet they were asking full price for it. I don't think I would call
that review bombing though.
