About a month ago, we showed that it is possible to buy games at very affordable prices without resorting to piracy. To make going legit more enticing for PC gamers, we also discussed about Linux which is a free OS (Operating System) that can be used as an alternative to Windows. While we don’t see Linux replacing Windows for gaming, it is definitely a viable “tool” to convince or introduce gamers who are on a tight budget to stop pirating and start going legit.
The Steam Winter Sale 2016 started last December 22, 2016 and will end on January 2, 2017. To make finding affordable games easy, we have made a list of PC games that are currently selling for less than PhP 250. We’re sure many gamers can buy a lot of games at those prices to get them occupied for the long holidays this coming Dec. 30, 2016 to Jan. 2, 2017. All of the games listed below are available on Linux and on Windows.
