Offworld Trading Company

I've been eyeing this game since it appeared on Steam. I even watched a few Twitch streams the other day. Still on the fence...
 
It looks pretty light-weight. There's a lot more that they could do with the game ( other than reduce the price to something reasonable like $20 ).

Have a co-op mode where you are trying to send resources to Earth. Cooperate with other players, to make up for industry shortfalls and have some evil, AI corporation trying to hoard all of the resources and build themselves up and just fuck things up for the human players.
 
I'm still a huge M.U.L.E. player and been playing this one for a few months on early access, great fun game! Good to see it's finally getting released.

Very light on system requirements too.
 
If you took part in early access, you will also get the bonus soundtrack, Almanac, and Real Mars Map Pack DLC. :)

Nice! (y)

Definitely logging in later and checking it out!
 
Nice, soundtrack comes in both MP3 & FLAC versions. And the Deluxe version comes with an Extra Key!
 
Actually anyone looking at this game the price is -25% (not -10%, release snafu I think from Valve), and the Deluxe edition -34% which also includes everything, AND an extra copy of the game to give to a friend which makes it a great value IMO. (Plus playing in Co-Op is a Blast!)
 
this looks like like a love it or hate it type game judging from the reactions I've been seeing.
 
Yup, a great, unforgiving, game. I like it!

It would also be good I think to offer the game in 4 packs.
