Not people, corporations. They don't want to protect, they want to control.

People and corporations and corporations act on behalf of people and through people.

Protect... control... same thing. They want to protect their control. That is a facet of ownership - control. With the goal of maintaining its value in any area of use.

I'd like a copy of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron from GameFly. Apparently it's 5.99 with the code GFDDEC20UK.

Cool, I can go buy it. Never used it before though so, is there anything I should know about gifting, or anything like that? Is this a digital download, a key or an actual product I'll get sent in the post and have to pm a key?

Yes. The TOS was just ripped wholesale from the XboxRebel.co.uk sister site and buried within is this little nugget:
Thanks for the quick reply, I figured as much. Steamfriend sent his referral link to his entire friendlist saying 'it doesn't hurt to try'.

GameFly supports neither gifting nor multiple purchases of the same item, so you should only help me out if you're absolutely sure you won't be interested in purchasing the game for yourself at some point. To answer your second question, you'll receive a key.

I definitely will not be purchasing for myself, not my kind of game, so thats no problem. To clarify - I should be getting "FALL of cybertron", NOT "WAR of cybertron"?!

Yeah, Fall, not War (which I already have). I'll PM you in a tick.

I'll make SEGA build their own Steam Machine.

Hey, I was without internet starting at 9AM, and also without energy from 1:30 PM to 6:00 PM, so I have no idea what's going on with the world.

On the flipside, I started playing A Link Between Worlds on the 3DS and man, what an amazing Zelda Game.

I was delaying the start of it, because I knew I wouldn't be able to put it down. Now... It's all I'm going to play in the foreseeable future.

Now, to catch up on Steam news...

Fuck, I unlinked my Paypal from my back account because I hate Paypal. but I don't have enough credit on it to buy Transformers now.


It is for the best.

The 3DS has claimed another Steam-powered soul.

3DS + PC is the best place to be right now. I really don't blame people.

I don't see Yakuza in that list...

They aren't even going to bother porting the latest iteration, so I doubt they think the prior ones would be successful.

Of course, that would be the cheapest way to test the market without having to localize a new game.

You have my word, once I'm the SEGA's president we're going to release HD remakes and the PC ports that we are waiting for so long.

Come to think of it, I'd love to see an HD remake of Wonder Boy in Monster World. I must have finished that game no less than a dozen times as a kid.

3DS + PC is the best place to be right now. I really don't blame people.

Think of all the region-specific apps the price of a 3DS could buy!
 
Thanks for SS:HD Backlogger! I think the key activated both the First and Second encounters? I'm pretty sure I didn't have either of them before, but they're there now. Badass!

Good luck to all you gaffers hoping for a steambox :D

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.

Me either. I played A Link Between Worlds the day it came out and beat it a few days later - my son is playing it now (after recently playing A Link to the Past for the first time) and he's having a blast with it as well.

However, I'd offer the counterpoint that 3DS + PC + (either Android or iPad Tablet) is really the best place to be right now. While 99% of the tablet games are jank, there are some real gems that stand out.
