I finally got around to sinking some decent time into it over the last couple of days. I'm addicted. It's fun to go up against so many competitors and watch as people get knocked out of the competition over time. Not to mention, it's frickin' Tetris so of course it's great! I'm really looking forward to the special event that Nintendo's running this weekend. You can earn an old-school Gameboy theme!

Epic Games Store - Mega Sale - Up to 75% off and $10 off every game $14.99+

Making this as a text post because the Epic Store interface isn't very good, and I want to be able to highlight particular sales.
Here's a better interface for browsing on gg.deals
First: this is a bizarre sale and clearly another case of Epic effectively subsidizing something that wouldn't be possible normally. As a really blatant example of what's crazy about it, I posted the announcement trailer for John Wick Hex last week. It got announced 8 days ago, there isn't even a vague release date, and they don't even know which consoles it's coming to yet. Even with that, it's on sale here now for $8 instead of $20 - 60% off, a week after announcement!
So because of that, here's some of the sales that seem most ridiculous due to being unusually large discounts, especially on games that aren't even out yet or just came out. Let me know if you spot more, all prices USD:
Game Sale Price Normal Price Discount John Wick Hex $7.99 $19.99 60% Satisfactory $19.95 $29.95 33% Shakedown Hawaii $9.99 $19.99 50% Slime Rancher $4.99 $19.99 75% Subnautica Below Zero $9.99 $19.99 50% 18 votes -

I recently read a book about Nintendo and Sega in the 90s, and it reminded me of something I'd long forgotten: the Sega Channel.
The idea that the Sega Genesis had a digital delivery system in 1994 is wild to me. For comparison, Steam didn't have its first release until 2003, nearly ten years later!
What are some other examples of games, hardware, or ideas that were ahead of their time?
