Theoretically, yes, but in practice, no, because doing so would impact existing owners who are outside of Eastern Europe, which is why even Ubisoft ultimately reversed the retroactive OARIC lock on Black Flag's RU/CIS pre-order subs.

Afaik the v6 Storefront is supposedely configurable so you can choose what you want to see on the storefront.

what wil this new steam layout look like?
Definitely worth it at that price!
If you're a Deus Ex veteran, though, you might want to play it on harder difficulty, the game's pretty easy by default.

SteamDB thinks it could look similar to these pictures.

nope , only the last boss is hard
you need to memorize his attack to avoid them
what harder is there is some challenges you need to do in all levels to get an item to craft
for example , some challenge require you to finish the level without been hit
or kill the boss in 1 minute

[100% Origin related] You can get Bejeweled 3 for free there. https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/buy/bejeweled-3/mac-pc-download/base-game/standard-edition
Appears to be the case
This is sort of apropos of nothing, but I want to ask you because you're the only one I recognize who knows anything about this stuff:
How difficult do you think it would be to write a mod (or skin or whatever) to the Steam client to log chat messages? Just write them to txt files stored locally. Is that level of access even possible on the Steam client?
If this already exists, feel free to point and laugh at me.
Speaking of Origin, are Origin keys region locked at all?

Don't you just hate luck-based achievements? I spent a few hours on Faerie Solitaire just to get the last of these randomly-obtained eggs for a "perfect game" status. It took me a total of 25 hours to get them all, and according to the forums I should consider myself lucky. At least it's done now.

I think Origin just limits languages. eg. Russian version might only have Russian.

Can't turn away any customers, even the thieves.
Oh, wait, we're all thieves in EA's eyes, am I right?

Does that affect keys or just games bought directly through Origin?

Who would get banned? I saw a mod irritated with the setup in there too.
I like the taking screenshots aspect of the game
What's worse is multiplayer-based achievements; nigh-impossible to get if almost noone's playing it.

I like Origin's Game Time thing, where you can try a game for 48 hours. I've reinstalled the Kingdoms of Amalur demo like 4 times, but still can't get a good read on whether the game is for me or not; but having access to the full thing for 48 hours is probably a much better indicator.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Steam store update though.

I'm not entirely sure, however I would assume both simply because it wouldn't make much sense to have RU keys tied to a language-locked package but offer the ROW version on the RU store or vice-versa.

Worst shit ever. I'm never gonna get 100% in Arkham Origins

lol I guess this is going to be a step-by-step update. Maybe they'll finish it by tomorrow
I really wish I could do my updates like Valve does theirs.

Thanks! I almost feel bad that most of my Origin games were free.

Nothing but the sales and new release tab? Great!
That free Games on Origin promotion would be more interesting if it wasn't all games they've already put in humble bundles.

I don't want to see Robo Dinos get butchered like Space Dinos did.

They should show up in your order history.

Heh, I was just looking for this option. Looks like you're right.
But games redeemed via code don't seem to appear there

Yup. I just try to ignore they exist and consider it's SP-only and categorize appropriately

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
As far as I know, you would need some sort of middle-ware to intercept these chat messages as they're sent to the Steam client. If I had to guess, this sort of communication is done over HTTPS meaning you would also have to decrypt the incoming messages which would likely make the client itself stop working (you wouldn't receive the messages in the client, only in the text file).
There isn't any API (that I'm aware of) available to accomplish this. In all honesty this would be a huge undertaking to accomplish something that could probably be implemented in the client itself (by Valve) pretty easily.
That's the point, they don't, I have only the last bought game showing.

Right. Though they could eventually do what they did in India and do away with retail releases (while raising prices).

Oh. Yeah that sucks.
It defaults to displaying "Last 3 Months". Have you tried changing that?
Either way, they do need a better solution.
i had BF4 with 160 hours , most of game didn't get above 50 hours
so , this is like full game for me
also have 48 H for Plant Vs Zombie
edit : i just noticed they add Security Code for origin , just like steam guard

Here is the feature roadmap EA presented in 2011:
Here is where EA was at as at March 2014 (crossed out = not implemented):
(1) While some of EA's mobile games requrie an Origin log-in, there's no actual Origin mobile app.
(2) Achievements finally went live last May, but there is no reward system.
(3) While you can link your Facebook account to your Origin account, there are no social benefits tied to this.
As you can see, expanding upon or introducing new features isn't entirely within EA's purview.
Couldn't you just scrape the text off the chats web version on steamcommunity?

It's actually timer based, in that once you start playing it, you have 48 hours from that time to play as much of the game as you want in that period before it goes inactive. Still pretty cool though.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Good point, that would be a lot easier yeah. You would still need to provide said application with your Steam session cookie information. You would also have to scrape the page on a regular interval since the scraping application would be stateless, unless you used something like a DOM mutation observer in javascript.
So yeah, I suppose it would be possible. The original point still stands though, it would be much easier for Valve to implement it themselves.
Then again, I guess that's what I do.i haven't install them yet
but, the count start when i start the game for the first time , and if i close the game, the timer still count ?

Currently online text on player profiles changed to the new color I think.
Or I don't remember it sticking out that much.

i saw no spiders in tits so no idea what yer talking about
you're insaneI would be done with the game already if I wasn't trying for max BP in a single playthrough.
I also talk with every NPC after every story event, god knows why...
Still missing god knows how many recipes and chest quotes, so no 100% this time if ever
actually , in game DLC is available in Dead Space 3Here is the feature roadmap EA presented in 2011:

Is this really a surprise with the pre-release arrogance they displayed and after Bungie willingly jumped into bed with Activision of all publishers?
Buttonbasher

Yeah installing them is fine. The timer starts once you hit play the first time, and runs for 48 hours whether or not you're playing the game.
