SALES & "SALES"/DEALS

The Sims 4 is on sale for $10, expansions 50% off
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-sims-4-is-on-sale-for-10-expansions-50-off/
To mark the 18th anniversary of The Sims franchise, there's a pretty hefty sale happening for its most recent incarnation: The Sims 4 is on sale on Origin for 75% off, bringing the price down to a penny under $10.

>>That may be in the US, because here in Spain the discounts go from 25 to 50%. In any case, the sale will end this Thursday 8th.

 

Given that it's an Origin sale, I guess not many of you are interested in that Sims sale. Luckily, we have GOG and Steam:

• At GOG there are two new sales:
  • Telltale Games puts their games on sale: https://www.gog.com/promo/20180205_telltale
  • To celebrate the launch of the Close Combat series at GOG, the games are on sale: https://www.gog.com/promo/20180206_launch_promo_close_combat
• Meanwhile, at Steam we have the 1249 weeklong deals. Among those we can find:
  • PAKO 2 is 30% off (and yes, there is a first game but no, it's not on sale): http://store.steampowered.com/app/612370/PAKO_2/
  • Yesterday Origins is 34% off (and again, the first game is not on sale): http://store.steampowered.com/app/465280/Yesterday_Origins/
  • The Early Access title Niffelheim is available at half its usual price: http://store.steampowered.com/app/351100/Niffelheim/
  • Conarium is 55% off: http://store.steampowered.com/app/313780/Conarium/
  • Dying Light is 60% off, and the enhanced edition 67%: http://store.steampowered.com/app/239140/Dying_Light/
  • For those that want some sense of humor, LEGO MARVEL's Avengers is 60% off: http://store.steampowered.com/app/405310/LEGO_MARVELs_Avengers/
  • For the umpteenth time, The Witcher series is on sale: http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/727/The_Witcher_Trilogy/
  • And last, but not least, the Crysis series is also on sale: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/15609/ (oh, and a bunch of other EA titles are on sale too)

Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom releases next month and according to its official Steam store page, this game will not be plagued by the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. This appears to be a pleasant surprise as Bandai Namco’s previous title, Dragon Ball FighterZ, used it.
