Quoting: chrSorry, neither DDG nor Google is being helpful in this. What currency is that? Also I presume "450,00" is 450 money units, but I wouldn't be surprised for cultural differences and 45000 actually.
Google hints me to Brazilian Real. 450 of those would be close to 100 Euros...!

Quoting: subAny news on a new revision or is the Steam Controller history?
I can't imagine it, they've sold over a million of it.
(Wonder what the plan would have been if this is not a success.)
So, my bet is on a new one.

Quoting: einherjarAbsolutely NOT. I really don't care a single bit.
I play games to have fun. All these Badges and so on are absolutely uninteresting to me. I can't see, what is the advantage for me? Gaming is not more fun (for me), with these things.
This sounds like you do care, in a nagative way.
You can't just ignore them?
Honestly, I do not get your point.
I ignore them, but I do not ignore what Liam wrote. Two different things...
A missunderstanding. I read "not more fun" as "with this stuff, it's no fun for me anymore". My fault, I guess.

Quoting: EhvisTried to nominate 7 Days to Die for Better With Friends. But you can't. Weird.
Interesting. They've always meant to have games from current year, but this time, they enforce it except for the "labour of love" category (which is explicitly for old stuff still updated).

*edit* It seems it's not exactly 2019, probabl ymore since last nomination phase. Beholder 2 e.g. is included: https://store.steampowered.com/app/761620/Beholder_2/ [External Link]

As for this one here I'm not even gonna comment on it and just quote you so that you read yourself back if don't see what's wrong in that sentence I don't know what to tell you other than "welcome to the mute list"
One of us two has absolutely missunderstood namiko.
Now it's obvious it was me.

I played through Kathy Rain this weekend. Very good point and click...!
(I got it gifted by somebody, so I used Proton to finally play it.)
