The Game Sales and Deals Thread, With No Apologies to Anyone

I do enjoy hypercards quite a lot, though the only thing on the list I don't have is Firmament because I'm waiting for the PSVR2 port. Only thing missing from this sale is the new version of Riven, which people should also get.

The very good video game Gris is on sale for $1.50 on Steam until the 15th (maybe other platforms too, haven't checked)

It's not a massive sale, and Switch performance leaves something to be desired, but Another Crab's Treasure is 20% off on the eshop right now.

Square-Enix is also having a massive sale on a ton of their library, including 40% off SaGa Emerald Beyond.

Also a massive Swotch sale in general, over 40 pages on DekuDeals

Costco is running its $50 eshop cards for $40 sale right now. I turn them into $40 Game Vouchers for a good time.

No Gravity Games is doing its usual holiday giveaway this year, starting today. Some of these will be duds but we've found a few fun ones over the years, and the price is right.

Oh fun, like you said some of these can be pretty fun. I am curious how they make this work on the back end. Nintendo is so weird about online stuff that linking together games like this seems like a decent amount of work? Fun though.

Yeah I'm not sure! I think the main thing it does is check your library somehow, because when you already own a game you can skip that game. But the mechanics of it are mysterious.

 

[Violentvixen]

Aaaaand already missed one. Oh well.

 

[Sarcasmorator]

I think you can get back on the chain if you buy the one you missed (usually also on sale while the promotion is running), if you wanna.

I had to reload the page for it to detect that I have Gamepass, but if you do Battlefield 1 Revolution is free. I've never played any of the Battlefield games but free sounds good!

It's part of EA giving away games over the next few days and I think each game is only free for a day? It's a bit unclear.
