Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura on Steam (+ other classic games)

Open

Seems like Activision released a bunch of classic games today, and among them is Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. This is a really nice surprise, I really had fun with this game and I've always hoped it would come to Steam, but I didn't think it would really happen

The other released games are games from Sierra :

Oh my god, I waited for YEARS for this to happen, like you, hoping it would come to steam, updated, renewed, fixed up, extended or just the same, would be fine to me, I love it, instant wish list, right now. I wanted to propose this to Activision but luckily I don't have to no more. In celebration, let's watch how the music for this game was made = http://youtu.be/fVeomu2cpsk oh god the music, I can't get enough of it, or Virgil <3

Apart from greenlight bundles, it is the absolute record of putting a Steam release in a bundle. What was that, 26 hours? Valve must be really happy as the refunds will roll in from those who insta-bought these oldies.

Old games bought for memories. I don't think there are many left that didn't already bought on GoG (for that reason).
Idk how many "must catch them all" ppl are out there tho.

I fear there are more "if it is not on Steam, I won't buy it even if I really want it" people are out there than you would think. The only platform that manages to break this is battle.net, but even that may fail against some Steam-exclusivists. We'll see in the sales numbers now. I wouldn't be surprised if it went over 50k in the end. (But it may really be exceptionally low because as you said, what one wanted from this, they already bought it on GOG.)

"Only Steam". Einstein quote about infinity comes to mind :p

Bundle will have high sales, after all it is very good bundle for completing the collection with games one isn't emotionally attached to
