The tail end of this year was marked with quite a few Final Fantasy announcements: FFVI is now on Steam, FFVII is getting a complete remake, there were even rumors about X and X-2 coming to PC which right now seem more credible than ever and finally we have the announcement for Final Fantasy IX.
The once Playstation exclusive Final Fantasy IX will be coming to PC and mobile "soon" according to the recently released Square Enix website. There's also a short trailer showcasing the port's improved graphics:
Turns Out The Rumors About A Steam ARG Are True - Hidden Password Screen Discovered

I've been hearing rumors about about there being a super secret ARG (alternate reality game) that came along with the recent Steam Winter Sale but until today I though they were just the products of people digging far too deeply in to nothing.
As it turns out I'm the crazy one here because the folks over at Reddit not only discovered a hidden password prompt on Steam but they also found a couple of other interesting clues:
GOG Has Taken Down Descent And Its Sequels From The Store

Descent, for those of you that aren't in to retro PC gaming, is a really unique classic FPS where instead of being a guy on the ground you piloted a ship that could move freely in 3D space, meaning you could go up, down, left, right and even rotate yourself so the ship would be upside down. Add to that some kickass music and action packed gameplay and you've got Descent and its sequels.
The reason I'm bringing Descent up is because GOG is unfortunately bringing it and its sequels down due to Interplay, who holds the rights to sell the Descent games, not paying royalties to the developers.

If you have no idea what issue I'm talking about head over here for the detailed version but long story short for about an hour on Christmas people that logged on to Steam would essentially log in to other people's accounts and be able to see all of their private info. Given that it was a caching issue no one could actually change anything or purchase/trade games but it was nonetheless a serious privacy leak.
Now, after five days of basically radio silence Valve have finally spoken about the Christmas Steam issues. Here's the gist of it:
Morrowind Rebirth 3.5 Update Brings Balance Changes And... Toilets
- By Ash

Morrowind Rebirth is a long standing Morrowind mod that changes the game in subtle but very important ways. It includes everything from bug fixes through combat and balance improvements to new NPCs, loot, enemies and so much more. My point is, Morrowind Rebirth was a really good mod when I first tried it years ago and its only been getting better ever since.
In the recently released update 3.5 you can find plenty of bug fixes and weapon balance changes but most importantly... TOILETS!
Details On How Vessels & Advancement Will Work In The Upcoming MMO Crowfall

Crowfall is a rather interesting upcoming PvP-focused MMO where instead of grinding your way through levels in order to finally access raids or end-game PvP you'll be able to join the campaign battles from the get go. This naturally led to questions on how exactly the advancement system will work but until now we didn't know the specifics.
In a recently released video Crowfall developers talked about the changes they're making to the vessel system as well as how advancement is going to function.

I haven't done one of these recommendations the past few days as I really didn't see that many games which were both good and on a decent discount.
However, today's rotation on the Steam winter sale brought with it quite a few good deals so here are my Steam sale recommendations for December 29-30:
