Just came to post this, they did the same thing to AC GOTY several months ago and the same thing to Bioshock 2.
GFWL/Securom removal patch has to be coming soon, both services rely on this.

Thanks for your impressions, Monk. I've been really considering picking that up since I've been in need of a new Halloween game.

Nice impressions and suggestions Monk! Perhaps you should dualpost that in the Knock-Knock thread both to bump it (lol) and so that perhaps someone could aid you with the progress issue. GOG users might not frequent this thread as much or at all.
Hnngh. I wish they would have done it sooner than a week before AO since I don't want to burn myself out on the formula but...I really want to play AC again.
I want them, now!

After some hours I may be somewhat stuck in Knock Knock. The game is not clear on what you must do or how you must do it. It's okay, many games do this and it's nice for us to discover on our own (Dark Souls). However I reached one of the last levels and it seems that if you do not proceed to the next level/room/dream/nightmare whatever you want to call it you may be getting a Game Over screen the next time you will try to advance to the next level just like you normally would do.
Knock Knock have a very creepy and depressive atmosphere. Seems to be a great game to play in the upcoming Halloween. You will always feel that you are surrounded by someone or something, yet, you feel alone at the same time.
Now this is very clever: There are things that really help to create a tense mood in the game with such basic gameplay elements. Let's say something is approaching you. You hide but you are still visible. It's okay, because it does not matter if they can see you since it's you that can't see them because if you see them/it then it means they are real and if you believe they are real, then you must be hallucinating meaning you are losing it.
The game have more than one way to end, or to not end at all, in fact. Depending on some actions across the game, when you proceed further a larger enemy may be something for you and a very different one for me.
Immersion tip: In this game the sound of doors opening and closing are quite regular. If you have a sound system with a Subwoofer, placing the Sub below your desk near one of the corners gives you a much more real feeling that something is really knocking a door in your house. This adds to the atmosphere giving you a more intensifying experience when everything is silenced and then BAM!, someone shuts a door, and you feel the vibration.
In my opinion you don't get those jump scares we sometimes see (faked or not) on Youtube videos from games like playing Amnesia, in this game instead of "AAAH, Oh my God & Buddha, that is scary!!!" I got something more of: "That is creepy... go away, please, I don't want to lookJust... leave me alone...
With being said a Patch was recently released fixing a couple of issues, some bugs and something regarding a couple of Achievements not unlocking for some people. I can always start a new game, try to get it right this time, try to get a proper ending or see if I will see more fragments of memories that kinda randomly appear on the game or even to see what will appear when I'm near the end, but for now it's on stand-by.
I've been watching Markiplier play through the game.
So my AC will automatic turn into GOTY?
No problem fellow GAFfer. The name of the Achievement is not a spoiler by the way, or so I strongly believe. It seems to be a Twin Peaks reference, correct?
I just did, thanks for the tip!
I'm hoping that is what they will do, but we don't know yet.

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.
I'm also hoping for this. Count me among the people stuck without the GOTY content and no way to get it.
The survival elements are actually a tad deeper than I expected, for example, you have to be careful where you source your water from. Some sources may lead to dehydration or poisoning.

Since you are sporting a gif like that, I have to ask if you have Deadly Premonition on your Halloween playlist? I am so hyped about it. Going by the impressions that I have read, it sounds like perfection.

With all the GFWL removals I wonder if japanese devs/pubs will do anything to patch that cancer out of their games. (I'm looking at you Capcom and Scamco)
Lol. A friend told me on school that if I had a lot of TF2 items I have received from games I have pre-ordered and I have not the access to trade or sell them on the market, it is because Im not Premium. I never play TF2 so I had not known about this.
So I just installed TF2 and bought a random bow for 0,35€ (trading card money). After I sold all the TF2 items I owned I have turned 21€ in profit.

Fotonica always looked neat.

Fotonica was on IndieGameStand one day, that's the gamy by MirrorMoon EP devs.
Tiny Barbarian DX was featured on NotOnSteam sale.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

They removed CDkeys from both vanilla and goty. It's only a matter of time.

No, buy it to grow Treasure.
Being erased from existence by companies who care enough to remove it. What will happen for those games where companies don't want to bother removing it.
Ugh indeed, I hope they don't dare charging for this.
EDIT: Oh, fuck, CastleMinerZ has been greenlit too. Worst Greenlight batch confirmed. Just shutdown this thing.
