Beta is starting to shape up nicely for this budget product. Should be ready to go this fall for around $20, wouldn't ya say?

It should be on Steam Greenlight soon. I heard that lots of people have already bought the pre-alpha and said it's not as far in production as e.g. War Z, but it could shape up and become even better than War Z! The small studio behind SimCity seems to be working hard on a release version, so keep your fingers crossed.

Wow. Their site is really getting hammered (GMG). Season pass keys are available again, but now I'm stuck for minutes at "We're processing your order". DAMMIT!

EDIT: Nope. Not working. I'll check whether they nevertheless took my money. GMG, once you got such a monster deal online, make sure to have additional server capacity available!

EDIT2: No worries. My order went through, I got the keys. But they're still working on their site. There's a NEW 20% off code: GMG20-FDSCL-AQQXD
The old one is no longer working. The code didn't work for me on the Borderlands season pass and mechro dlc, but even without the additional 20% off, it's still a great deal!

Unfortunately, the season pass at GMG is sold out. All the 10 keys they had have been sold.

News Comments > Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Patch Has No Season Pass

Leeloo, sea-son-pass.

I understand the season pass as a replacement of the good, old expansion (at about the same price). But my problem with the sp is that it does not include all the dlcs. If the publisher would change this, I'd much rather buy the expansion (or the sp) in advance. So a bit less greed would actually help sales, at least in my case.

Suits thinking...

1. Hey, we could make even more money if we sold the rights for the first review. What about an auction?
2. DRM for the review! You'll have to be constantly online, you'll need to download a software (called Boregins or something) to open the review, and the review will not be complete, but DLCs with the rest of the review have already been promised! (Of course, those DLCs have not been cut out of the review itself, they're not even finished yet... But if you find incomplete sentences, well, wait for the DLCs!)
3. Instead of separately buying each part of the complete review all the absolutely not-cut-from-the-review-DLCs, you can buy a season pass for the complete article! Hooray!

Oh, brave new world!

WOW! GMG is now offering a Bioshock 3 bundle with Bioshock 1, X-Com: Enemy Unknown, and another game (choose out of 4 other games). Wtf? Are the presales of BS3 so bad? Surprised

Kudos to them for releasing the complete single player game. That doesn't happen very often these days. Because of this, I'm considering buying the game earlie (and more expensive) than usual. Devs, that's the way to do it!

There’s no doubt about it; Maxis’s latest SimCity is the most considered, most in-depth and most appealing SimCity game to date.

The first sentence of that review, yesterdays date on it. 8/10 final score...

Quick! Fetch some false beards and stones and off to the public stoning we go!
