Mass Effect Legendary Editiong Trilogy and Desparodos III
I am not a subscription guy. Not a game of the month guy. I know HB
donates money to charity (don't know which ones besides the Ukraine
one - I don't trust charities and foundations for the most part. Most
are probably taxpayer and money laundring scams).
But, I doubt HB is anything like that!

I'd take you up on it... except I'm already a member. Heck, I'd cancel
my membership and rejoin, except I'm grandfathered in on an older plan
that ensures I get all the games every month instead of having to
select only a few. Sorry.
I used to be a subscriber to Columbia Records when I was a kid. CD ofMain difference... you pay and you either take the games or leave it but
the month club. Got me in more trouble because I would forget I had a
quota to buy at least one CD because they sent me my choice of a dozen
or so for a $1 (or whatever it was). They were nasty about it when I
got behind. I think they even threatened a lawsuit or two!

Desparados:III is one of the very few games I've bought which get into
the triple-A price bracket. It was a bit of a no brainer as I really
liked Shadow Tactics there previous game so I knew I was going to like
this one.
It's not particular innovative (nor was Shadow Tactics) but what it does
it does very well. The most amazing thing though, I actually enjoyed the >characters and their banter with each other.
As an aside you may want to take a look at Shadow Tactics unless the
setting isn't for you as it's often on sale at Steam and if not you
should be able to pick it up for £2-£3 from one of the many key selling >sites. It really it the same game but just a little less polished.

I have Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. I played it for a
little while and liked it. It did remind me of Desperados 3. I
decided I should go back to the former because of it being an American Western if I was going to get back into these types.

They are pretty much the same game in a different setting but if you
prefer the very much 1960's wild west setting then Desparados 3 is the
one to go for. I'm just hoping they can do way based on the likes of the Dirty Dozen or something similar.

It seems like ATM-machine repetitive duplication. Inquiring minds want
to know.

Probably best as I'd imagine that USD isn't understood by everybody so
you need both that and '$' to donate which currency. I'd probably add
that one of my bug bears (and this is a generalisation) in the online
world is that amount of people from the US who will use abbreviations
for states (as everybody knows them right) or talk about our government
as though there is only one government in the world. My favourite
though, the constitution says. Do they not realise that the US
constitution only applies in, well the US - the clue's in the name.
Saying all of that I almost always write just '£', without the GBP, but
I think that's ok as we had an empire so that's one of the perks!

The pound symbol alone works because there really aren't any other
countries that call one of their currency denominations that.

Well, other than Egypt. And Syria. And Lebanon. And Sudan. And also
South Sudan.
(And, technically, Guernsey, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man and Jersey.)
Other than that, only the UK uses the pound.

Both Jersey and the Isle of Man are self-governing, and not part of
the UK, although it is a Crown Dependency and the UK is responsible
for their defense (these are the two I knew about).
Guernsey has a similar status, but apparently its administation is a
bit more tied to the UK. Gibraltar is also self-governing and its head-of-state is, officially, the Queen of England, but - like all the
rest - it isn't part of the UK. It is responsible to the British
government in respect of defense, foreign policy, internal security
and general good governance (these two I didn't know, and had to read
up about on Wikipedia).
Apparently they have their own coinage (poundage?), although I've no
idea how much actual use they get. I'm certain if you went there with
UK pound sterling, they'd happily accept it without bothering to
convert it to local money.
But their close association with - even if not actual membership of -
the UK is why I added the 'technically' in my response. Given its long
and ragged history, what most people consider "the UK" is actually
much more complex than that, being divided into the UK, Crown
Dependencies, the Commonwealth, and God-knows how many other
variations.
But I will concede that the South Sudan Pound is a huge deal in the
international money exchanges. ;)
Don't mock it; you can get 5 of 'em for a ruble!
