My internet connection is flaky, so the game had automatically kicked me to "Offline" mode earlier. It took me nearly 10 hours - and I never want to hear that song again. Ever.
Worth it, though next time I'd just cheat.
I glitched for 14 cards instead of the 1 I should have gotten yesterday, then got no more for purchases or queue. Today, when I hit what should've been my 15th card (after purchases and queues) I suddenly got 13 more.
So... yeah. Keep trying? I dunno. I don't think Valve does, either.
Even Bundle Stars is getting on to the "Beat Steam's sale prices" bit, with better deals on stuff like Dead Cells and Furi.
Not massively better, but still, Steam. Getting beat by BundleStars?
What next, losing out to Groupees?
If you've noticed, the number of +Points and Steal tokens on the market shot through the roof yesterday. I suspect Valve was putting their thumb on the scales again.
The first 5 days were so obviously fixed I was surprised they let Red continue to win as long as they did.
I agree with almost everything you said, except this.
Run-and-gun plus rapid-fire means you can sprint your assaults right up to something tough, and blast the heck out of it. VERY useful, especially towards the endgame with Alloy Cannons.
