Did they just re-release Loren the Amazonian princess without the nudity and suggestive scenes?

The Steam version is censored.

I've heard that you can start a game with the demo, enable it and move the save to Steam.
The 'flag' is set to yes in the save and it's all there.

How is one to acquire the uncensored version?
Click to expand...

I've seen posts on the forum from the dev saying that the Steam version contains everything, BUT the condition in the code for SAFE MODE is forced ON.
That's why I've seen people say that a save on the demo with SAFE MODE OFF transfered to Steam works.

(i.e. all the files are there, they just don't get used when playing the Steam one)

Again, I have no concrete evidence of this.

EDIT: read this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/257970/discussions/0/630802978936809266/#c540732347084446488

If you want to be 100% sure to not suffer from censorship, buy the game off the developer's site.

Looking at the release history of Asylum and City, we can't be more than 2-3 months (plus some change) from Warner releasing the GOTY Edition of Origins. I hope there's a sale on Steam before then as I'd like to pick up a few spares of Origins before the inevitable GOTY-specific app.

Actually, knowing my luck, I'd buy the spares only to find that Origins won't have a GOTY-specific app but rather a GOTY bundle as you see with the more recent Bethesda games. Even if that were to happen, though, at least I'd have the game sitting in my inventory for when Warner eventually lets go of the Batman licence.

Ethan Meteor hunter is now available on Steam.
Steam-code is also at Groupees if you bought the Holiday Bundle.

Can you type in steam-codes in a browser or do you always have to use the stand-alone Steam program?

The latter. The ability to redeem keys via the website is one feature I wish Valve would ape from Desura.

If that was possible it'd be possible--trivial, actually, like an hour or two of work for an inexperienced programmer-- to write a bot that scours the internet for Steam keys and redeems them on an automated basis. The Anti-Modbot.

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.

The fact that some account features are locked completely to the client just doesn't make sense to me. For example, why can't you change your password on the website? What if you're account gets compromised and you're not near a PC with Steam installed but have web access?

Perhaps I could find myself a Steam key for Wheelman! But more importantly, an "Anti-ModBot" would fit the Terminator theme quite nicely. ;)

But this is already possible using the client as the redemption method, having the key redemption method web based wouldn't exactly stop people that wanted to do this from doing it. I suppose it would make things easier...

Microsoft's version of Siri to be named Cortana (after the Halo AI)...I think Steam BPM needs a voice command feature based off of Glados, to berate/demean/harangue you...

Depends, I'm pretty sure you can redeem with the client without using the mouse at all (keyboard shortcuts to the menu).
That makes it pretty trivial to have a software simply alt-tab and go redeem.
