Often the cheapest to me, so I buy there primarily for this reason. Even if the prices are on par, Epic offering 33% off each game with their coupon and then 10% as cashback is a sure sell. Knowing that the game creators get a significantly bigger cut is a pleasant bonus as well.

Fixed! I think it was the only exception, though the better way to title my post would have been to say “older”. Even a 2022 game isn’t old.

Perhaps like many here, I haven’t played enough 2023 games to make a confident choice in every category of the Steam Awards, so I looked for games from the prior years, released in 2023 on Steam.

While I don’t agree with the idea of a 2019 game being named the game of the year in 2024, the choice is there and we might as well use it and remind Valve that their system is flawed.

It’s a requirement both on paper and in that, even though Microsoft document an official way to bypass it, they will warn you that they do not even guarantee security updates unless your CPU is supported. Moreover, we know of at least one game, Valorant, that will not work on Windows 11 unless you are meeting its hardware requirements. The bottom line is that installing Windows 11 is a risk.

It’s not even a matter of when. I was recently given an i7 6700K, and no game, old or new, comes close to fully using it, and it’s not even overclocked. If anyone is in doubt about the requirement being artificial, try this CPU.

Could you explain how it’s pennies, rather than over $100 a year for the domain and the server?
