TheMightyEthan Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Mirror's Edge is yesterday's Daily Deal on Steam, so it's 75% off ($5) for a few more hours. If you don't already own it, well I hate you, but you should buy it now anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 OnLive thing is deeply shady. They filed for a sort of bankruptcy (it's more complex than that but in layman's terms it works). That meant they could get rid of all the staff with a stake in the company without having to pay out any equity since the company was worth effectively $0. Then some of the original investors, the ones who think that only they deserve to cash in on a sale of OnLive, bought the company out of administration using another company they set up. They are now rehiring some of the people they sacked, but this time, the re-hires get a salary, but no shares in the company they helped build. So when it is sold the few people who set up the purchasing company get to keep all the money. I've also heard rumours that some people may be hired back on an equity only basis. That is that you work for a percentage of the company if / when it is sold and get no salary, which helps make the company look profitable, but given what just happened you'd have to be an idiot to work for potentially worthless shares in a company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 The creditors didn't even have to buy it, it was "assigned" to them to cover the debt the company owed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 http://www.gog.com/news/indies_invade_gogcom_this_weekend GoG has Legend of Grimrock and Tiny Big: Grandpa's Leftovers for half off. I'm tempted since I've been waiting to get these DRM-free and not through Steam. I'm broke though. =( Torchlight, Darwinia, Space Chem, and Geneforge 1-5 also have deals along with the Ultima series which was already on sale earlier in the week.

End of summer sale on Google Play. Not much beyond Swiftkey to recommend. Crystal Defenders is okay price but a run of the mill TD with the Square brand. I'm tempted to get Lorax for wee one but I'm only hete for two weeks so wouldn't get much use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnine Tenshi Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'd just like to warn you guys that the camera while driving is absolutely uncooperative. You either look straight ahead or jerk your view around like a crazy meerkat. Probably doesn't ruin the game for most people, but it did for me.

Luftwaffles Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Are you using mouse+keyboard? I found that it worked best to just take my hands completely off the mouse when driving and drive with the WASD, but I then switched to controller and it was a whole lot better.

TheMightyEthan Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 What did Revan's link link to? It just takes me to a "game not found" page on Ubi's store. Similarly Dean's link takes me to a "page not found" page on the Play store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRevanchist Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) My link went to the Ubisoft site where AC was free for download. It was taken down by early yesterday evening, so not many people had a chance to jump on it. It was just a ploy by Ubi to get users to sign up for UPlay, but the game was still free.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Ubisoft Classics is £4.37 on Amazon UK. It includes: Assassins Creed Beyond Good & Evil Prince Of Persia The Sands Of Time Rayman 3 Far Cry It's a DVD, as they don't do downloads in the UK yet, but pretty god bargain, I'd say.
