    1. Standard edition only.

      It’s cheaper to get Gold edition Steam key than free base game + paid DLCs on EGS.

    2. Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair was free on EGS in less than 3 mos from release I believe but yeah, no AA title like this has appeared this quickly I believe.

  1. In related news, Bub&Bob has solved the case of my blue balls. A man with a mind like Sherlock certainly gives excellent brains.

    1. I bought Control there for 28 bucks, because I’m not filty pirate scum.
      I prefer to contribute to society, not leave a stain on it.

      1. Most people that pirate games can’t afford to buy them anyway. Count yourself fortunate that you don’t live in poverty and stop being so arrogant.

        1. My experience says otherwise. In fact, most people who are poor don’t have an internet connection or a PC capable of running the game.
          Your logic isn’t adding up. Who is poor and has a highspeed data connection and a gaming PC?
          I’m yet to meet this person.

          1. Half of the world and they don’t need a high speed internet connection to download pirated games or even what you would imagine a gaming PC to be. They play on old outdated hardware that would be considered junk by Western standards that can barely run the game even at lowest settings.

          2. I’m not convinced you can even manage to download a game without a modern connection these days. Games are huge. Where would they get them from?
