Some European action RPGs with peculiar names.

Sir Whoopass, supposedly a comedy action RPG from Sweden company.

Football Manager 2020 is now on discount -50%. Should I go for it or wait until Summer sale? What's the general history lesson for games which discount just before sale? Judging from other years(FM19, FM18), it won't go more than -66% in sale, though.
I was waiting for the big summer sale, but this discount right before the sale confused me.
I decided to buy it, wait for summer sale and refund if it's -66%.

Why didn't you buy this bundle then? It was $30 for 50 games with Football Manager 2020 included and separately it's $25 on sale right now.
Interesting, I didn't know FM(and Eastside Hockey Manager) were in there. But the starting price was still the same as regular FM price in local currency, so nope, not a good deal for me.

My brief experience with the free weekend offer for theHunter Call of the Wild:

*At character creation screen*
Yukkon Valley is a starting zone? Nice! -> You need to buy the DLC pack.
Fine, Silver Ridge Peaks then. -> You need to buy the DLC pack.
Cuatro Colinas? -> You need to buy the DLC pack.
Are you for real? -> You need to buy the DLC pack.
Uninstall.exe.

Why let you select content you don't own and then throw you that message? Hide the DLC-only areas instead.

God I keep forgetting how much a fucking the sale gives the store's ability to process normally.

Do they even have an option to redeem x amount of points in exchange for a 10% or so discount? Or is it just "customize your profile"-horseshit this time around?

Looks like this new point system is exclusively community stuff. Apart from buying avatar and sticker things, you can award your points to user reviews and workshop items, effectively it is voting power. If the points themselves have monetary value like discounts, it defeats the purpose.

Why yes, I spent $10 in virtual funny money for a dancing Harry Dubois gif, how could you tell?

no coupons :mixedemotions:
There is though. Your first purchase of $30+ gets $5 off. It's not great but it's probably enough incentive for me to spend $30 during the sale. Maybe. Possibly. At the moment I've got Doom64 in my cart for $1.80 so I have a bit further to go.
