Thanks, guys. I'm looking forward to some nice deals too. :p

Slickdeals.net is probably the best deals aggregator I've come across.

That may be so, but it doesn't beat going on Neowin and finding out about a Steam deal. That's what usually happens with me. I find out about a nice deal on Neowin because I happen to come across it while browsing the Computer Gaming sub-forum.

Steam:

50% off THQ Complete Pack $99.99 $49.99 USD (ends Feb. 19th)

85% off Mount & Blade $29.99 $4.99 USD (ends Feb. 15th)

70% off Quantz $9.99 $2.99 USD (ends Feb. 19th)

I would buy the THQ Complete Pack if I didn't already have Dawn of War II and Red Faction Guerrilla.

Steam:

Shattered Horizon Moonrise Free Weekend (ends Feb. 21st @ 1pm PST)

50% off Shattered Horizon - $19.99 $9.99 USD (ends Feb. 22nd)

$10 off Star Trek Online - $59.99 $49.99 USD (ends Mar. 2nd)

Steam

Direct2Drive

Free

Games For Windows Live

- Batman: Arkham Asylum - $12.49

Looks like Microsoft is going to have some incredible deals for Games on Demand. If you haven't already picked up Arkham Asylum there's no reason you should turn down this deal. It's an excellent Game. Sale starts tomorrow.

I just noticed you can buy Batman Arkham Asylum with MS Points also for even cheaper. It's only 880 points which comes out to US$11.00

Sweet! I have 1250 Microsoft Points that I haven't used since I bought my X360 back in 2006. I hope it still works.

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're also looking at a company struggling here.
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
