Re: Make Perpetuum great again

For it's price, it's a good game to have on your account. It can easily became on top of the time on record. So in terms of games, it's a good choice.

But if you're looking for really best deals and don't mind to wait for them and save a couple of bucks, then for the Steam games in general:
1. It's a big benefit to buy games in "poor" regions. Permanent price reduction can be signifficant(~40%)
2. Buy on sales and check on http://steamsales.rhekua.com/, if the current discount is highest of all times, and if not, how frequent they are. Also, if discount rates are increasing on charts then maybe it's a good idea to wait for better deal. Most games start with small discounts on initial game or new DLCs, but never do more than 75% discounts. in perpetuum, discounts are the same, AFAIK. -75% on game and DLC on every seasonal sale.

Re: Make Perpetuum great again

Games bought in "poor" regions are region locked, and cannot be traded (source: I live in one of them and get the benefit of said poor man reduction big_smile). Unless of course you start trying to game the system via vpn's or buy via 3rd party resellers and those have a history of getting the game yanked from your account or the account banned.

I'll wait for perp to go sale though. I did like it when I played it years ago, but the game had very low population even back them and it just seems much worse now.

Re: Make Perpetuum great again

I didn't mean intentionaly buying games in these region, but if it's really your region, it's one of the good things about it smile
Although it might be not a bad idea, but I'm from the cheap region too anyway smile

In most cases, there are no region restrictions on products purchased directly from the Steam store. However, products purchased as gifts may have region restrictions [source].

"291 all-time peak 3 years ago"
3 years ago but damn, 291. And it's Steam only.
That's what happens when devs give a damn and do real thing instead of licking butts with lower prices and easier EP progression.

Well remember 90% of those quit because with time-based EP they would "never catch up" and ragequit.
And now almost all of the players that did quit because of that don't even know that the devs implemented activity based EP.

I still see people logging in every 3 days, some never left tutorial, because they think they are passively generating EP.  None knowing that they could afk mine over night for a week and get ~1mil ep.
