_____Cait 06/21/18 10:26:57 PM #1:	Im one of the few PC gamers here. Most admit it is the future, but still play most stuff on phones or console. We can ise Stema here, but out library is missing some games. We also have to pay at places like 7-11 because credit/debit isnt really big here yet (our banks are really behind the times). Anyway, Ive been wanting FF15 for a long time, and when it finally came to PC, it was 8000 (roughly 80 dollars). Now it is 4000 on the steam sale, which is still a huge ripoff. --- ORAS secret base: https://imgur.com/V9nAVrd 3DS friend code: 0173-1465-1236 <cite>_____Cait posted [p:903731106] in Steam suck...

Foppe 06/22/18 1:24:39 PM #21:	1337toothbrush posted... Fax is also common there. Square-Enix hired the Swedish company GRIN to develop a game called Fortress, a spinoff to Final Fantasy XII, many years ago. After a while, Square decided to cancel it and not paying GRIN the money they owed them, so they made up some BS excuses of why they wouldnt pay out any money. One was that they demanded GRIN to fax everything Fortress-related to them, including the music files. Another was to complain that the graphics, which they had praised up until then, didnt look enough Final Fantasy. After multiple changes, GRIN had enough and sent a screenshot from Final Fantasy XII.
