Fair play to the developers they took so much crap (they did deserve it) and have stuck with the game. It's taking it's time but it's getting better and better.

Agree with this. I might jump on it again at some point...

High price compared to the PS4 version which can be had for 9.99 or under new.

Kind of a none point if you don't have a PS4 :blush:
I've been trying to find this at a reasonable price for ages and this is great :raised_hand:

Was simply pointing out that I am surprised it's higher that PS4, ya know since PC games are usually cheaper and all, sheesh. :angry:

In this case, given there's probably been a huge amount of sell-ons/trading in, it's probably not that surprising.

To be fair I was very tempted by the PS4 version, but will probably wait a while (since I have so many games) and get the PC version But it is a little unusual that it's cheaper on the PS4

Used to be cheaper.

Steam has a monopoly, so you pay what they tell you to.
On PS4 you have second hand games, clearance sales etc. The PSN store is usually a rip off but interesting to note a digital download of NMS is currently £10.

It nowhere near has a monopoly.
It has a lot of users yeah but that don't mean they're spending money. I have a hug steam library and I best only about 10% were bought directly through steam and then only in sales.... cos I'm tight :smile:

Console games seem to get the price reductions a lot quicker than PC these days, a lot of that is because Steam etc like to keep the prices up as long as possible, even CD keys its hard to get a decent deal now

It is £15.99 on directly on Steam too. Nothing wrong with buying from GOG, just one step shorter.

I thought the selling point of GOG was the DRM-free part? Is this not like that?

If you buy it on GOG, you get the GOG version, if you buy it on Steam, you get the Steam version. So there's no step shorter here.

Sold my PS4 copy two days ago. Bugger. May take a punt for the PC version if the update ends up being worthwhile.

So what's cool about Atlas Rises?
