Great, was about to buy it during the Summer sale but hesitated, glad I did so now.

I had it on my wish list for quite a while, never pulling the trigger to actually buy it, so although I kinda feel bad for dev that I got it for free now, chances are I'd be prolonging the purchase indefinitely - I guess, once I play it, if I like it, there's always The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian I can buy.

There's no need to feel bad about it. They've decided to give it away on their own, likely beause they thing that this will allow more people to try it and, if they like it, buy the new one.

They're not the first nor will be the last that try this tactic.

Interesting.

The first batch at the new price sold quite well, but maybe that was a coincidence.

Thanks for sharing it.

^ How is Steam Machine doing?

Funny that you ask, because over the weekend we had article about it, coming from the same group that did the article Conina posted, and they claim that it's selliing between 12 and 15 thousand units per week:

Those are impressive numbers given that it's an overpriced and underpowered PC with less appeal than a console, at least in my opinion. But the way they came up to those numbers is rather sketchy and, again imho, not very reliable.
