That's thanks to GOG and other non-Steam storefronts.

Don't think so. GTA 5 is on sale frequently.

I don't think it can, Hype Train is over and everyone can see how shitty Fallout 4 truly is.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 isnt a game you play. its a game that consumes you. its a drug. you dont buy this game knowing that you will loose your social life. but ETS2 takes what it wants. my entire family has abandoned me. all thats left is my fleet of 50 trucks. my girlfriend crys from our bed "turn off the game, its time to go to sleep" she dosnt understand. its not a game. I run a Multi-Million doller International trucking empire, sleeping is for the noobs. this game recieves a perfect 10/10 from me, i have lost everything i have ever loved. but, i do have 20 Volvo trucks now....

Holy shit

Euro Truck Sim is different because it achieved meme status with people claiming it's the comfiest game ever etc

What? You guys didn't know about this? Euro Truck Simulator 2 is ultimate Codex RPG:

Players choose their HQ's location in any of the game map's cities. At first, the player can only take what are known as Quick jobs -- these jobs involve making hired driver deliveries while employed by a delivery company, with a provided truck and all expenses (fuel, road tolls, ferry crossings) covered. As the player earns money or takes bank loans, they can eventually afford to buy themselves a truck, acquire a home garage, and start making more money by delivering cargo using their own truck instead of just being a driver for hire. Money earned in the game can be spent on upgrading or purchasing new trucks, hiring NPC drivers to take on deliveries, buying more garages and expanding the home garage to accommodate more trucks and drivers.

The player gains experience points after each delivery. A skill point is awarded after each level-up. Skill points can be used to unlock deliveries that require different ADR classes, longer distance deliveries, special cargo loads, fragile cargo loads, deliveries that are urgent and eco-driving. This progression allows the player to take on better paid jobs.

How do you guys say no to such deep roleplaying systems? It's basically Sawyer having a baby with a Mercedes-Benz Actros.

Oh god, I shouldn't have asked.
I want out of the rabbit hole. Gimme the blue pill.

Well apparently Obsidian would like Alex Hirsh on their team? They're probably being facetious though :

No, everything on RPG Codex is true.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Who the fuck is Alex Hirsh?

 

[Sannom]

The brains behind Gravity Falls.

 

[Drax]

What the fuck is Gravity Whatever?

 

[Irenaeus II]

The what?

I've read his article in wikipedia and I'm still clueless. Can someone translate it for a grown up?

 

[Sannom]

You really are thick as a brick, aren't you?

It's a cartoon. It's very funny, very well-written and it can sometimes get fuckep up.

 

[Irenaeus II]

*yawn*

 

[Excidium II]

The main character is a girl, doubt it is any good.
