http://www.pcgamer.com/lawbreakers-has-another-free-weekend-this-week/
Evan billed LawBreakers as "nimble, graceful and original" in his review back in August, but Boss Key Productions' debut has since struggled to maintain its playerbase and, most crucially, its sales. In a bid to get more folk onside, it's free-to-try on Steam this weekend and is subject to a limited-time 50 percent discount.
And now, let's take a look at Steam's Midweek Madness deals:
- Expeditions: Viking is 33% off: http://store.steampowered.com/app/445190/Expeditions_Viking/
- All Degica Games products, games and software (RPG Maker) are on sale with up to 90% off: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/degica/
Also, This War of Mine is on sale for the next couple of weeks with an 80% discount: http://store.steampowered.com/app/282070/This_War_of_Mine/

>>Given that it's a Newegg deal, I guess it's only for the US, maybe even Canada.

The GOTY will set you back $60, or $20 for anyone who already owns the Complete First Season.

Here is how you can force mouse and remap keyboard keys in Nioh: Complete Edition (and other games)
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/can-force-mouse-remap-keyboard-keys-nioh-complete-edition-games/
As we’ve already stated, the PC keyboard controls in Nioh: Complete Edition are awful. The games does not allow players to remap the keyboard keys, there are no on-screen keyboard indicators, and it does not support the mouse at all. Thankfully, though, PC gamers can use a third-party tool in order to enable mouse support.
