Yeah :/ I'm trying to justify the purchasing it... i'll probably only play it once I guess.
I don't see the problem then. Only in extreme cases would your activations dry up.

So many sales. Think I need to hibernate until black friday, or at least halloween sales.
Naw man, it's about the principle.

It might be the content for the new expansion or it has something to do with the content
Fix this shit Steam.
Fahrenheit needs to come back, and it needs proper controller support.
I think it's more due to the fact that a 9 year old game still needs to let you have a key limit for some bizarre reason.
Crysis on Steam pulls the similar crap.
I only got so far into the game, found it quite fun but stopped playing after the boxing match? Still have the save game files somewhere.

Oh man having to boot up impulse, sorry the gamestop app, for the first time in years is crazy.
It's self-published by Quantic on GOG. I e-mailed the company asking if a Steam release were possible but was ignored (as tends to happen -- I don't know why publishers hate me so much), but Grief jumped on Twitter to ask a QD employee the same question and was just told that it's available on GOG, which, in practice, was just as fruitless an endeavour.
I can't help but wonder if Atari will suddenly give GameStop Steam keys for the game, though, given the out-of-left-field resurgence of Ghostbusters and Riddick. Oh, how nice that would be...
Yes and no, respectively.

listen to the mad man
Well, what happens when next year or whenever the TAGES server gets shut down, right? The biggest problem with any DRM is uncertainty

Riddick > Ghostbusters > Battlefield 4. Take note, EA.
I dont know if it gets any clearer than that. Two 4 year old B-Tier games outselling pre-orders for your biggest game of the year.

Someone mentioned something about the SDK and Workshop support.

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.
Found a retail copy of Top Gun. Plastered all over the box it says that Steam is required and it has a bunch of Steam logos and stuff. Opened it up and there is no CD key.
Gonna try to pop the disc in and install when I get home. Fingers crossed but my guess is it's not going to happen.

Joe encountered the same thing and later found that the retail version is just the Steam version with any and all Steam functionality patched out, but if for some reason his copy is just buggered and it's supposed to act like NBA 2K9 (the installation process tethers the game to your account), then I'd love it if you could assist me there.

I'll keep you posted. My local shop has 2-3 copies left.
After the end of another week and happily sat down the boozer on a Friday night with the usual rabble seeing that Ghostbusters is back on sale had my eyes widening, jump up, make my excuses and was running home as fast as my legs could carry me. Managed to "convince" my cousin to get me a copy and now I'm doing his head in for any news on a key.
What is Steam doing to me?

I've got my fingers crossed that, like, 2GB of that update is just more battle cries
Workshop support for Chivalry. That's awesome.
I hope someone comes up with an appropiately space-themed map for the low gravity server mod.
In Chivalry in Space everyone can hear you scream
and this is bad because...?
Sweet Telltale sent me a steam key.
Is there a way to redeem a code on the steam mobile app?
Keys can only be redeemed via the client. Web-based key activation is a feature Valve sorely needs to ape from Desura.

How do we know thatGamestops top 10 is based on numbers of orders? Steam is based on total dollars, maybe Gamestop is as well.

I stopped playing when they gave everybody the ability to be exactly the same colour :|
But I'm looking forward to the expansion, can't deny it is a very fun game.
Hahaha. All I can here now is Ms Ronan chanting "One of us, one of us, one of..."
This is how it starts isn't it? You convince yourself "It's just one game but it's special because it's not available anymore". Then it leads to harder stuff like importing retail editions from far and wide, double dipping on RU and CIS subs. Next you know you're spending so much time checking the database that it's effecting your work. You end up getting the sack but the addiction is still there, you can't give in now. Before you know it you're offering to "rock peoples world" for Rayman 2.
Well I'm not going down the rabbit hole, no sir!
I'm already in too deep.

If a local CEX store has any in stock, you can pick them up for 40p.
Edit: they used to have loads but it looks like the supply is drying up. Still a few kicking about though.
Regardless of how the list is organised, I still think it's an impressive feat given how hard EA is pushing BF4 and its predecessor's CoDesque success.
Don't try to fight it. Let the warmth embrace you.

Or maybe it's not.
Also, BF4 mania from a GameStop usually revolves around their physical, console version SKUs. They probably even care more about pushing current gen versions than the PC. More so, PC BF4 is available all over the place and with far better deals elsewhere, if anything this is a message to publishers about Steam in the specific instance that things get pulled.
Gracias!

Thanks for the Riddick games!
Edit- Was the code for both games? When I redeemed it on Steam, only Dark Athena showed up
Double Edit- I'm dumb, Butcher Bay is included in Dark Athena
