SALES & DEALS

Steam's best-selling new games for August includes Early Access hits and classic remakes
https://www.pcgamer.com/steams-best-selling-new-game-for-august-includes-new-hits-and-classic-remakes/
The list of best-selling new releases on Steam for the month of August is, as we've come to expect, an interesting mix of genres and also developers, with more than half of the studios represented on the list launching games on Steam for the first time.
The list includes both Early Access and full releases, and is based on sales over the first two weeks immediately following a game's releases. Sales figures aren't included, so instead the games are listed chronologically, from Hide or Die on August 1 to Re:Legend on August 30. (That's why the lists don't show up until well into the following month—so Valve can collect the full two weeks' worth of sales from games that came out at the end of the month.)

Steam has two "daily" deals (both are fake) as well as a new weeklong sale:

• The first deal is Niffelheim, 50% off for 6 days: https://store.steampowered.com/app/351100/Niffelheim/
• The other one is the Merge publisher sale in order to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The sale will last for the rest of the week: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/merge/
• And here are some of the weeklong deals:
  • klocki is 15% off: https://store.steampowered.com/app/499440/klocki/
  • Akane gets a 40% discount: https://store.steampowered.com/app/884260/Akane/

https://www.dsogaming.com/news/first-borderlands-3-trainer-enables-infinite-health-ammo-xp-golden-key-guardian-tokens-and-more/
The first trainer for Borderlands 3 has just been released. This trainer enables infinite health, ammo and XP. Moreover, it allows players to set their Golden Key and Guardian Tokens to 9999. It also disables weapon recoil, and allows you to edit the damage, XP and money multiplier.
In short, this trainer will allow you to skip the grind and enjoy the game from the get-go. As such, we are pretty sure that some Borderlands 3 fans will find this tool quite interesting.
>> If you want to use this mod (shame on you), it's available from Nexus Mods.
