The free-to-play market has grown 28% year-over-year, PUBG surpasses WoW on the total PC games list
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-free-to-play-market-has-grown-28-year-over-year-pubg-surpasses-wow-on-the-total-pc-games-list/
SuperData has released its worldwide digital video games stats for August 2017. According to the stats, and even though the PC segment shrank 10% year-over-year, the free-to-play market has grown 28% year-over-year. This shows how many developers are, in 2017, adopting this model for their games, and could perhaps give us an idea of what will happen in 2018.

 

There's a new Humble Bundle, the Humble Gems Bundle 2.

 

Time to see what does GOG has for us, and it turns out that it's a lot! First we have the usual weekly sale... which doesn't have a lot, to be honest. But that's because it only features the Disney games that don't fit the other 4 sales!
