Logins fixed on Mac OS-X!Jul 5, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsMinor update but a nice one nontheless! - Fixed the Paradox Account login issue on Mac OS-XPatch 1.2.2.0Jan 7, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHere are the patch notes for version 1.2.2.0 which aims to homogenize the account and legal documents handling with our other games. Changed the account creation process for Paradox Accounts to more clearly inform players of Paradox Interactive's Terms of Use and Privacy policy. Players are now more clearly informed when changes occur in Paradox Interactive's Privacy Policy. Players can now access the Paradox Interactive's Privacy Policy from the main menu. Added an indicator in the main menu that shows which Paradox Account a player is logged in to. Added the ability to unlink a Paradox Account, from a player's Steam account, in the main menu. Players can now reset their Paradox Account password from the log in screen. Fixed a bug causing animals to use regular blood gore when the Piñata Madness artifact is active.

Or follow us on twitter or Facebook for instant notifications wherever you are! *Offer ends Friday at 10AM Pacific Time Get 80 percent off Magicka 2 for the next 24 hoursSep 8, 2017 - PC GamerThe Magicka series has a lot of die-hard fans, and 2015's sequel trimmed some of the fat and sped up the pace for a much better game. You can get Magicka 2 for a huge 80 percent off today on Bundle Stars.  It's a top down co-operative adventure where you play as wizards able to cast all manner of spells. You have eight different base elements to cast with, and you can combine them any which way to create new spells. The amount of variables means there are tens of thousands of combinations to play with, of varying usefulness. Our review of Magicka 2 says it is like Magicka 1 done over again, in a more polished, streamlined, bite-size package.  Magicka 2 wasn't that expensive to begin with, so with 80 percent off, you won't have to spend much at all to get hours of fun with your friends. The deal only lasts for 24 hours though, and then another game will take its place. Some online stores give us a small cut if you buy something through one of our links.

The blowback was so bad that the publisher was ultimately forced to roll them back and promise refunds, or reimbursement "with games of a value exceeding the difference," to everyone who purchased any of its games at the higher prices. But the timing was a problem: The walkback came right at the start of the Steam Summer Sale, and Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester said that it wouldn't be possible to deal with the refunds until after it was over.  The sale came to an end today, and Paradox has now revealed the details of its compensation plan. "After exploring options with our sales partners, we’ve come to the conclusion that partial refunds (as in, refunding the price difference) aren’t practically possible," Paradox senior community manager Escher explained. "Instead, we will gift everyone who purchased any Paradox product between May 17 and today (including pre-orders of Steel Division: Normandy 44 made before May 17), in any currency except USD (where prices were not changed), a free copy of a full PC game or two DLC, as a gesture of goodwill."  Gamers eligible for the freebie can select from Stellaris, Hearts of Iron 4, Crusader Kings 2, Europa Universalis 4, Magicka 2, or Tyranny, or any two of the HoI 4: Death or Dishonor, EU 4: Third Rome, CK 2: Monks and Mystics, Stellaris: Utopia, or Tyranny: Tales from the Tiers DLCs. If you already own all of them, you'll give credited with "equivalent giftable keys" instead. Players who purchased their games from GOG or or the App Store will be able to claim their game or DLC from either of those platforms instead; if you purchased through Origin or Twitch, you're not eligible for the freebie because their prices never actually went up on those storefronts.  To claim your free stuff, fill out this form, which will require your order ID, original purchase currency, platform information, a copy of your receipt, your email address, and of course a note of which game or DLC you'd like. You have until August 9 to make your claim, but Escher warned that they won't be handed out immediately: Paradox is currently aiming to have everything wrapped up by September 30. As for the price changes that started all the trouble, he said they have all been rolled back to their pre-increase levels, and will be held there for three months.  Daily Deal - Magicka 2, 75% OffJan 24, 2017 - AnnouncementToday's Deal: Save 75% on Magicka 2!* Look for the deals each day on the front page of Steam.

I think I am the worst Helldiver. Alec: Helldiving is AWESOME. Adam: Helldiving is the act of diving into hell. Where hell is understood to be one of several planets occupied by hostile forces. Mostly, in our experience, bugs. Bugs that tore our starship troopers into pieces. To be clear about this, Helldivers is a cooperative game, from the creators of the original Magicka. It involves friendly fire, d-pad combos, mechs dropping from alien skies, ammunition shortages, panic, awesome motorbikes and death. Lots of death. I think I like it rather a lot. … Melt Mr Carrot In New Magicka 2 DLCDec 20, 2015 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunMagicka 2 has received yet another set of DLC named Ice, Death and Fury because, if the trailer below is anything to go by, it’s got loads of ice and death and fury. Sometimes it is that simple. Have a look for yourself after the drop: … Ice, Death and Fury comes to Magicka 2Dec 17, 2015 - PC GamerIce, Death and Fury might sound like a description of your standard Magicka round but is in fact the title of Magicka 2's latest piece of DLC, out today and priced at 7/$10—more than Magicka 2 itself, currently. In addition to new spells to inflict upon your friends, Ice, Death and Fury brings with it four scenarios which I'm told are all-new game modes: Protect the King, Troll Cave, Darkness and Old Wizard. I think we can see some of Darkness in play in that trailer. I won't tell you what tipped me off. There are also three new bosses, including at least one of Christmassy inspirations, along with robe sets and weapons including  the Ol Trusty Rusty Revolver. Ian praised Magicka 2 for being leaner than its predecessor. With Ice, Death and Fury it'll likely be less lean, but much more destructive.
