fwshhh (sound of steam)

I have email notifications on for when certain games are on sale on steam, so I make posts to let others know when there's something cool available for cheaper than usual. I hope I can help others to find a bit more joy in their lives.

if you're in Europe PLEASE consider signing the Stop Destroying Games initiative. the deadline is July 31st 2025. i've posted about it before; it aims to create legislation for publishers to stop killing the games you pay for and to provide an end-of-life plan for live-service products. thank you!!!

Petition: Prohibit publishers irrevocably disabling video games they have already sold

The government should update consumer law to prohibit publishers from disabling video games (and related game assets / features) they have a

For those who don't know or got miss info:

This basicly regulates publishers to make a version for the said games to still be able to play, even if the official servers/online has been shut down.

This does not mean that every game has to be single player games, but make life-service (gacha, mmo or similar things) games still be playable.

This could be done by adding an offline mode, or by releasing the server code and allowing consumers to operate their own servers for multiplayer games. Enable it so someone could host a fortnite or Genshin Impact server, the way people can host minecraft servers.

That is more effort, but not an impossible task like some people are claiming it would be.

"Journey" is currently on sale on Steam!

Such a genuinely cool game. It matches you up with a stranger that you cannot communicate with through words, and you embark on the eponymous journey.

I'm unsure why the release date it what it says it is- this game has been receiving praise for years- and for good reason. I highly recommend trying it out, and this is the perfect chance to do so.

This sale ends on April 17th, about a week from when I am making this post. If you are interested, be sure to take a look A.S.A.P....!

Crypt of the NecroDancer is currently on sale until April 13th!

There are also a couple of related bundles* and DLC on sale, so if you're interested be sure to check it out before the discount expires!

*disclaimer- Dwarf Fortress does Not currently have a discount, as of me writing this post. It is only discounted through the bundle shown above.

The game publisher/developers tinyBuild are having a massive sale!

This sale has actually been going on for a few days already- it began on April 5th. I didn't quite notice it until today though, so here we are! The sale will be ongoing until April 12th.

There's quite a large number of games that are discounted here, even beyond the ones shown here. The Party Hard series, the Hello Neighbor series, Surgeon Simulator, Not For Broadcast, Clustertruck, Lovely Planet Arcade, I Am Bread....

To reiterate, the sale doesn't end until April 12th, at approximately noon EST (time according to the email I received.) If you're looking for a new game to try out, be sure to check this sale out before it ends!

There is currently a multi-game sale for various games from the publisher 'Froniter'.

The discount varies quite a bit per game, so I recommend checking out the prices yourself. However, many of them are quite significant, as seen here (in USD, as usual):

There are also quite a number of discounts available that I haven't shown here, for DLCs for a few of the games shown above. So even if you already own them, but think you may be interested in buying additional content for those games, it may be worth looking into!

I am unsure as to when exactly this promotion ends, as the main page for the promotion gives no info, and on the pages for the individual games it shows, uh....

This..... However, regardless- if anyone is interested in checking this out, be sure to take a look A.S.A.P. !!!!
