Maybe I will get Mass Effect Trilogy at £4.99 as I can't see it getting any lower but not really planing to get much from the Steam sale but you never know it's so easy to slip a bunch of 90% discount games into your basket.

I understand AMD not wanting to pay or subsidise for none MSRP cards, but it's not hard to guess how things will play out when you don't make reference cards. And it's not like AMD is in a position to demand anything from AIBs. After all, with a 10% marketshare, it's a wonder how so many of them still bother making AMD cards, and if AMD went to add extra restrictions, Asus or GigaByte may say by and focus only on Nvidia. And now that I mentioned them, not even Nvidia, with its tighter grip, has done anything to force its partners to make more MSRP cards, at least that we know. So yeah, it's a bad situation and we're basically screwed. On another note, another round of news tomorrow or is this your last one before your vacations? |
Yea, would have been nice if AMD had a reference model that was an anchor but it is what it is. Least supplies are slowly improving so in the coming months, should hopefully settle down and have cards that are at msrp.
I usually don't do news on Saturdays unless it's interesting or worth posting about. So unless that happens, today will likely be my last round of news till April.

Only 20% off for Baldur's Gate III. Was this game publsihed by Nintendo?? |
Games that keep selling instead of just during the first couple of weeks tend to not get any large discounts. RimWorld for instance never dropped below 25% despite having been released in 2018. I bought it last Fall because after 6 years I simply got tired of waiting for any steeper discount than that.

It's funny because, with other launches, the complains were that AMD had only given its partners the MBA cards, and they hadn't had time to make its own designs at launch. Well, this time around AMD has done the opposite, and there are still complains because AIBs aren't sticking to the MSRP like they did with those MBA cards.
AMD never manages to get it right... or there's always some that complains about everything AMD does.
In case we don't coincide during the weekend, have fun!

There are a lot of games like that. Cuphead is no longer a game many people think about, yet it has never gone with a discount higher than 30%. And Stardew Valley has gotten, at best, a 50% deal.
Not every developer is ok putting its games on sale with massive discounts.
In any case, Larian does sell some of its older games with big discounts, but BG3 isn't there yet.

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.
Then we have games like Factorio that never go on sale just increase in price but it works for them since it's so popular.

Chrono Trigger at 3.74 € (and probably roughly the same in dollars?) is an absolute steal, and it kind of seems it has received some love and attention since its Steam launch despite the screenshots still being bad. Anyway, off to my backlog it goes!

After playing it over a dozen times (on the SNES and PS1) - I highly recommend it.
Planning to play it as well on Steam for the first time :)!
