One App To Unite All PC Game Clients Coming This Fall

The app is called Project Ascension that aims to unify all other PC game clients including the business’ title holder, Steam and others like EA’s Origin and Ubisoft’s uPlay. Project Ascension is developed by 18 volunteer members and they are doing their best to launch a Beta phase of the app this Fall.

These guys deserve an award just by thinking about this. This app will be used more than Steam now when it launches I am sure of it

ryuuzakibjorn3216d ago

Isn't this what GoG Galaxy is supposed to do?

SouljAx3603216d ago

As long as I don't have to sign in through their app. Not that I'm some super paranoid person but screw that. I do really want this to work out for the best though. I got Steam, Origin, Uplay, and GOG with games so it would be nice to manage them all in one place.

Mostafeto3216d ago

Exactly that's what all gamers want and what these 18 people aim for

JamesBroski3216d ago

Looks cool. But I think the may reason people stay with Steam is because of all the little things like the UI, friend list, levels, forums, etc. Steam feels like a console interface and not just a DRM meant to sell games like Uplay and Origin.

Deathly_Grin3216d ago

So this would essentially become the Trillian of PC game clients. I like it.

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo17h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9017h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19898h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

qalpha18h ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno17h ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan17h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno16h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198117h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6698h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19813h ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Why Are Steam's Recommendations Dogpoop?

Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm

Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.

Skul is a metroidvania ? It’s on PS+ soon I’ll check it out. If it’s good I’ll buy a copy physically if they have one

Nacho_Z28d ago

If Pseudoregalia is one of the best I'd hate to see what the worst look like.
