Rockstar Humble Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/rockstar-games-bundle

Best bundle ever?

Had GTA V been included, it would have been the best bundle ever. But without it, it's just a very good one.

As I said in todays news, what yesterday was a "no on Steam" is now a "maybe on Steam", and soon it will be an "also on Steam".

AoE4 is harder to tell as it's a completely new game, but since all their strategy games have landed on Steam (AoE 2, Rise of the Nations, Halo Wars...), I hope it also comes to Valve's platform.

Oh, and I better clear this up: I don't expect AoE 4 to fail financially.
It will likely fail at trapping PC users in the Xbox ecosystem.

I don't think we have Halo Wars 2 yet.
Hopefully both game, come to both platforms.

I think that, without Steam sales, both the remake and AoE4 will be comercial failures. The Windows Store isn't that big.

But as you noted with Halo Wars 2, MSoft is a mistery when it comes to decide what games they launch on Steam and which not, so they may decide that it's best for them to have a comercial failure only on their store than having a success on Steam.

By the way, maybe they didn't put Halo Wars 2 on Steam because the first one hasn't been a success. If we look at SteamSpy we see that:

• Age of Empire 2 HD_ 4.8 million owners
• Age of Empire 3_ 2.3 million owners
• Age of Mythology_ 1.2 million owners
• Halo Wars_ 166 thousand owners

Halo didn't work.
