Contact or send it to: Kotaku AustraliaLevel 4, 71 Macquarie StSydney NSW 2000 So, uh, what exactly is this ‘blog’ thing?

They’d be one in the same in every lexicon on the planet if it were humanly possible. in the mean time I think I’ll dabble with Hearthstone for awhile… or maybe I’ll try to get my head around DOTA 2 again (or perhaps I could start cutting myself while a bunch of strangers told me how crap I am and how much of a sl*t my mother is). I’m still trying to decide what I’m going to install and play next (suggestions would be appreciated!). I think it just became a software version of GAS (Gear Aquisition Syndrome) where I had to buy the latest big titles even though I knew there was no chance I’d have time to play them. …and that’s just a pared down list of some of some of the acclaimed titles of the last couple of years – there’s lots, lots more! I own, but still haven’t even installed GTA V, Witcher III, Pillars of Eternity, Saint’s Row IV, Far Cry 2 & 3, Dark Souls II, Shadow of Mordor, SouthPark: Stick of Truth, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, Guacamelee, XCom: Enemy Unknown, about 4 Splinter Cell games, most of the Total War games and a partridge in a pear tree! This weekend I finally had time to finish StarCraft II: Legacy of the Swarm. I think I’m done with buying the latest and greatest on the day of release. Meh – My pile of shame is so tall these days it’s threatening to cause some serious damage to my house – and it’s almost all virtual downloads! What do you think? More From Kotaku Australia Plus, knowing Valve big sales will probably still be accompanied by games or game-like structures that make them feel eventful. I think it’s better for Steam users overall. And sure, traditionally a lot of games used to go back to their daily deal prices during sales’ waning hours, but that wasn’t particularly useful to non-eagle-eyed Steam users. No more waiting around in hopes of catching a game when it sheds the final vestiges of its price tag, no more feeling vaguely exploited by the zeitgeist-y “GOTTA GET IT NOW” nature of it all. It’s change that might make sales less “fun” - less akin to waking up on Christmas morning every day, only Santa is Gabe Newell and he takes your money - but it also sounds far more useful. But the vast majority of your catalogue should be running its best discount for the duration of the sale.” “For a brand new release, if you can’t get approval for your best discount for the full length of the sale, that’s OK and we can work on a plan for that game. ![]() “It’s not a major change, but it does make the sale a lot more valuable for customers, and it allows us to build sale features that recommend your product all sale long, instead of just during its front page feature.” “We’ll still be highlighting your top games on the front page for 24-48 hour spans, but those products will stay at their most competitive discount, before and after being featured.” After rumblings that Valve will be changing the way it conducts Steam sales for the upcoming autumn and winter sales, Eurogamer confirmed it by way of a notice Valve sent out to Steam developers and publishers: No daily deals or flash sales, whatsoever. Instead, games will just be at their lowest prices for the duration of the sale.
