You mean nominate 😉 I generally stay out of these for obvious reasons but I will nominate @Shagger for his help with moderation/reporting posts and posting a couple high quality game reviews to the forum.

I'm enjoying the Epic Sore. I'm enjoying it's game deals and I'm enjoying the cycle of free games, but none of that changes the fact @Crazycrabis correct, the money they're throwing at the exclusive games deals, that only serve to piss people off, isn't enough. They need the social features, the community features, user review features. Even the game download display is faulty and the progress percentages doesn't actually line up with how much has been downloaded. It's been 18 months and progress has been mad on feature updates, but it's not enough. PC gaming needs a service to end the monopoly that is Steam because has its own set of problems. I want EGS to be it and I think it can be, but they have to get their act together.

What happens is you get people that use stolen credit card or bank information to buy and bunch of game and software keys that they then sell on these websites. Then when the theft of the credit card is reported the credit company/bank refunds the original owner and then back-charges the publisher/developer for the original sale AND has to pay additional fees. So not only do they lose the money they made on the original sales of the game, then also have to pay the credit company out of their own pocket. Not to mention the key becomes blacklisted so the one who bought the key form the re-seller can't use it anymore. Meanwhile the thief and the re-seller are laughing to bank, it doesn't affect them either way.

Trust me, it happens more often than you think. Indie dev's in particular can really suffer because once it's discovered games keys were bought fraudulently becasue they then have to pay the refunds for those keys whilst the thieves walk away with the money. G2A in particular have found themselves in hot water a lot over this the last few years. It's got so bad developers were asking players to pirate their games instead of buy them from key-resellers like G2A.

Most of the games on my list have had re-masters, re-makes or re-boots allready. The only one I can think of is Magic Carpet, there is lots of directions you could go with it form an open world RPG, MMO, PvE, PvP... a ton of possibilites.

How old are you?

There's loads of sites which circumvent the Steam pricing strategy and offer money off what you'd expect to pay on the main site. I've not used full steam for purchases in a long time. Between instant-gaming, gamivo and cdkeys.com with humblebundle as a great offers service, there's no reason to pay full price for games on Steam.

Just looks like barely interactive porn with a budget to me. Not interested.
