I like Bard's Tale IV more, but I'm not big on diablo clones and this is diablo clone. It has a gotcha uniqueness with demon possessing, but that's end of it.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

I disagree that it's a diablo-clone, has a lot more focus on story/dialogue/side-quests than you'd expect from a diablo-clone. I'm enjoying it so far. Also, a good deal of puzzles.
The ability to switch characters in combat on the fly is actually fun and makes combat interesting.

 

[Belegarsson]

EA games are back on Steam.

please play Unravel Two, the game is wonderful.

 

[Belegarsson]

why the fuck is Rivals more expensive than 2015

 

[Belegarsson]

Still missing DICE's games (Battlefield series, Battlefront), Respawn games (Titanfall, Apex Legends), Bioware games (ME3, Anthem) and a few titles like A Way Out. Gonna update in the next hours.

Heh, interesting that they coincided this with the release of C&C Remastered. As if they're celebrating it as the "return" of the old, PC gamer friendly EA.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Still require Origin


and there are no DLCs that you had to buy for Bioware Points

They have to make a buffer for EA Access subscriber exclusive discounts.

 

[AliceAlcina]

how to joined EA Access and does that come with discounts?

No announcements for specifics on Steam version yet, I think. EA Access on other platforms give you additional discounts on game purchases.

They came crawling back.

 

[Correct_Carlo]

Why no Mass Effect 3?

 

[AliceAlcina]

Is Inquisition regarded better than DA2? I already have DAO, and Fe on origin, but I kind of wish Fe on steam, which leaves full 15$ funds, so I can't take all three DA. But I don't have third or second DA.
One more question, which has graphics more similar to Amalur/Divinityos2/GOAT?

 

[Azalin]

Dragon age 2 + DLCs 22.5 euros
Dragon Age Inquisition Gold 20 euros

Lol,EA gonna EA

BTW are the Unravel games any good,because they look like nice little games

 

[AliceAlcina]

Fe is good game, if you don't mind Nordic/Alien vibes. I haven't tried Uravel, but I now have my eyes on it.

Bioware DLC has been absurdly expensive on the EA store for years as well and rarely goes on sale. I think it's because, due to some rights issues, Bioware owns the DLC for the transitional games (Mass Effect 2, 3 and Dragon Age 2) outright. For the longest time you couldn't even buy it from the EA store. You had to buy lame credits and then buy it in game through the store.

They might give it for free to previous owners. It seems they did that with previous remasters.
The old version is super cheap at key stores right now.

 

[Azalin]

Since Bioware is now just a subsidiary of EA how does that matter?

I thought I read somewhere that for the transitional games (i.e. the games that Bioware was working on while EA bought them), Bioware had some sort of deal to sell DLC through its store. However, maybe that's bullshit. I don't know. However, the DLC has never been on sale through the EA store. I think even to this day, you have to buy credits through Origin and then spend them in the Bioware store in game. The DLC is still its original price and it never goes on sale, which is annoying as the games themselves are dirt cheap, but buying all the DLC will still cost you like $60.

So selling it through Steam is incline because it will likely go on sale more frequently.

Not true since 2018: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.p...e-dlc-bundles-now-available-on-origin.119813/

but a socialist company can sell products for profit without contradicting themselves provided the profit is distributed amongst the product's producers equitably or according to their labor contributions.

Wow, that socialism sure sounds a lot like a merit-based capitalist system.

The fundamental socialist critique of wage labor is that it does not pay workers the value of what they produce.

Man, this had been debunked by pretty much all economists since Marx, no serious economist take the absolute value of labour theory that Marx stole from Ricardo and Adam Smith serious anymore, socialism is a purely political movement now of people seeking for priviledges and inventing BS to justify it, there is no economic basis for it anymore, it is just a bunch of people crying about the world with stuff that could be easily classified along with stuff like: "Why do I need oxygen to live? That is unfair." "Why do I need to eat? That is unfair.", if they think it is unfair, they should go complain with God because we dont live forever or if they dont believe on it, go hug a tree or smoke pot for Mother Nature have pity of them.

No serious economist with good sense and that isnt an ideologic lunatic believe on that non-sense, the relative value of labour theory is equivalent to the evolution theory on economic circles and Marxists are the equivalent of flat-earthers. Only because you think your shit should be worthy 10.000 dollars every stinky piece of it, people arent robbing you when they say they wouldnt take that from you even for free.

This is childish and shows you have no understanding of the current state of socialist political economy. Yes, there are socialist economists. No, not all accept the labor theory of value. Labor exploitation as defined by Marx may rely upon the labor-embodied theory of value--he was writing at a time when that theory was generally accepted--but others have constructed theories of exploitation not reliant upon the labor theory of value. The wikipedia article goes into detail on this. More importantly, I never advanced the labor theory of value in the what you quoted from me, so you're projecting your own ideas onto my writing.

On a more general level, your assertion that because the majority of economists do not believe in the "absolute value of labor theory" (what is this?) the theory is of no use is unconvincing because you do not demonstrate that the theory of flawed. Your assertion boils down to an appeal to authority, a known logical fallacy.
