A place to post and discuss the best gaming deals around the internet

Post Format Guide (Optional)
Single Game: [Source][Region] Game - Price

For example:

[Steam][US] Hades - $19.99

Bundles: [Source][Region][Bundle Name] Game 1, Game 2, Game 3, ... - Price

For example:

[Steam][US][Indie Bundle Extravaganza] Game A, Game B, Game C - $19.99

Sale Event: [Source][Region][Event Name/Description] Date Range

Use DDMMM format

For example:

[Steam][US][Steam Summer Sale] 29Jun - 13Jul

In this format, the region indicates the specific region or country where the deal is applicable (e.g., US, EU, UK, etc.). This can be helpful for users who want to know if the deal is available in their region or if it's region-specific.

I welcome any feedback, just trying to do my part into building the community---

Checked it out, and reviews are now overwhelmingly negative. I wondered why and apparently they're now shipping the game for free but updated the TOS with very aggressive stuff, many are calling it a spyware.

They went crazy. Using a VPN gets you banned for example.

They went crazy.

I'm reminded of Overkill's shenanigans with Payday 2.

Terms of Service don't automatically make a piece of software spyware.

I skimmed through the reviews and no evidence what the game actually does.

Edit: Fixed a typo that made my comment confusing (said "so evidence" before).

The only reviews that went into detail on what the new EULA says were literal copypastas and I checked several articles about BL2 and its legal update and all of them only write how "players allege".

It seems to me like the new TOS are just meant to be more strict to have a better basis to ban abusive players, that’s why they "ban" mods and VPNs, similar to how discord "bans" 3rd party clients
