That’s why I add games to my wishlist. It’s easier to look at a list I’ve created than scan through a hodge podge of sales.

Well no, the functionality is the same. It’s the implementation and the functionality’s purpose that’s different.

Good news, JRPG fans: Dragon Quest Heroes comes to Steam on December 3, while Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns hits December 10. Who knew the PC would become such a popular destination for Japanese companies? More, please!
