Zoraptor Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Their maths is fine. Discounts are always applied sequentially, if for no other reason than it stops 2x 50+% discounts == being paid to buy a game. 100*0.85*0.83=70.55% price, or 29% discount. People may expect a 32% discount from 100*(1-(0.15+0.17)) but that isn't actually what should happen. Edited July 26, 2020 by Zoraptor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm basing this squarely on the average download speed I'm getting. And that is always the maximum possible speed (or very close to) for EGS and Origin while Steam is middling around and GOG varies wildly but is on the slower side. The EGS launcher isn't the best, that's true. The only feature I'd like is achievement support. While I generally am of the opinion that achievements shouldn't replace content I think they're nice to have. I probably would not have 250 hours played on Dead Cells if it weren't for all the "legendary" and "epic" achievements that tell me that the average player sucks. Apparently REALLY sucks. 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I migh downplayed 12$ package. There is 7 DLC, 3 are bigger one, and only planetoids is plant armour (skinpack). So overall good package. Generally Stellaris on steam sales goes for like 10$, so having bundle for 12$ is really nice entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
