    If you want to buy all the jackbox games.
    Buy them 1-5 and then 6 - 10 instead of the whole lot in one go.

    You'll save £25

    Wow look at that ultimate DLC bundle of House Flipper, it’s 30% off but yet it costs $53. The game isn’t even AA but they still ask for AAA price? With that $53, one can simply buy 5-6 decent indies or 2 discounted AAAs with full their DLCs bundled. Can’t easily find a similar game like this, I’d backlash the devs for the whole life time

    i did it the first time a few weeks ago and that whole process was super sketchy. in the end they make was more selling our data to like 500 sub databrokers and we get a few reward points. id rather have the complete option to turn all the m$ spying off

    There is no such tab, not has there ever been. That would be most of the games on the store anyway, with OG, 360 and XB1 games all being BC.
    Hola

    I just bought Tinytopia… does anyone know how I can actually download it!? It’s not on the PC Xbox store at all… i bought it on my phone. So it’s not in my library. It’s in my transaction history though so may just have to refund…


    Edit: Found it to download in the Microsoft store. Not the Xbox app for PC. Random.

    The Darkest Dungeon Ancestral Edition is only £8, that's a bargain.
    Picked up the Medical School DLC for Two Point Campus too which was the last DLC I needed.

    And yeah the Jackbox bundle pricing is silly
    All 10 games for £131
    Or buy 1-5 and 6-10 separate for £35 and £70 respectively....save £25 separate!
    Making Easters happy since 1986.

    It's a couple of quid cheaper to buy Two Point Campus and the DLC separately if you're interested.

    I hear ya. So far I haven't redeemed with my number as it's only questionably worth it.

    Still such a shame about the Trine unobtainables :/
    I don’t get it either. 4/5 of their games are fine, why can’t they just fix 2?

    Completely turned me off of them and once I’m done the first I won’t be bothering with the rest.
    This site desperately needs a separation between legitimate and illegitimate completion times!

    I wonder when Desperados 3, Dirt Rally 2, Shadow Warrior 2 WINDOWS editions be on sale. I have been checking each week for years and no sale

    This is why Xbox is better as they treat PC games bad, Desperados 3 Xbox has been £5 in sale but always £44.99 on PC
    Buying:Physical discs leads to profits, Digital games leads to bankruptcy. I will not support digital fully until we can trade digital games

    Castle of illusion for 360 is never gonna go on sale right? Only 1 of about 40 games i follow is on sale, system shock, but i think ill wait for a better deal I couldn't wait anymore and got system shock anyway, happy to support this developer anyway
    Eddy ate dynamite, good bye eddy
